And while the set of songs on this album may not count among the best of McCartney’s career, they definitely provide a pleasurable listen for both casual fans and ardent supporters alike. However, the songs are nicely constructed and are performed without guile-a quality that most singers and songwriters will never reach.
#PAUL MCCARTNEY RAM FULL#
Ram can appear slight and inconsequential. his previous release, 2018’s egypt station, created with a full band and big-name producers like greg kurstin and ryan tedder, had its quirks but was clearly designed as the kind of commercial. When both Paul and Linda coo, “Ohhh we believe that we can’t be wrong,” the innocent quality of their yearning is admirably authentic. Rock Through his work in the Beatles and his solo career, Paul McCartney has become one of the most influential songwriters and composers in the history of modern popular music. It includes layered vocals and abundant strings. The song has an infectious groove that makes the “easy-listening” quality sound like a good time.Īnother notable song is “The Back Seat of My Car,” the most lushly produced on the album. McCartney blissfully sings, “Come on, little lady/ Lady, let’s eat at home,” as his wife repeats in upbeat support. One of the standout tracks, “Eat at Home,” is reminiscent of 50’s-era pop. Although, “happy” is the key take away because seldom has McCartney sounded so at ease and lighthearted.

The remastering job is nicely done, providing a fuller sonic representation of the quirky details of the production. The cover of McCartney grabbing ram’s horns at a farm is the first introduction to the playfulness to come. In fact, when considered through the prism of today’s over-the-top “art” acts, Ram sounds like an indie-pop bedroom album.

McCartney had taken to bed with his wife and not bothered alerting the world’s press like his old partner in crime. According to the singer, it was never really meant to see the light of day. It’s not the “unbearably inept” or “emotionally vacuous” album John Landua originally declared in Rolling Stone. He might have lost his chief quality control officer in John Lennon, but Ram is a record that clearly doesn’t concerned itself with public approval. While the initial reception-coming just a few years after the split of the Beatles-elicited vitriolic criticism in some cases, history has been kinder. The album ratcheted up the production methods considerably from his previous outing and showcased the preciousness McCartney was always accused of during his tenure in arguably the most popular band of all time.įor 2012, Ram has been remastered and comes in several formats, which include b-sides and unreleased tracks. It was McCartney’s second post-Beatles album and the only LP co-credited to his wife Linda. Originally released in 1971, Ram was met with decidedly mixed reviews.
