RAM was one of the first 8 tracks I ever purchased at the ripe age of thirteen. Used to lay in bed at night with the headphones on and listen to this album over and over! Never get tired of listening to it to this day over 50 years later! McCartney is beyond a doubt my favorite musician of all time - a musical genius!!!
RAM is a masterpiece, Monkberry Moon Delight is probably the most impressive vocal performance I‘ve ever heard. Lindas Vocals sound beautiful too and add a lot of warmth. The Back Seat Of My Car was already beautiful as a demo but with the orchestral parts, it‘s one of Paul greatest songs. Too bad they cut Oh Woman, Oh Why from the album. Red Rose Speedway has the same kind of magic, especially the medley with Power Cut.
I agree that the medley on Red Rose Speedway is also classic. I listened to that after decades and tears ran down my cheeks. Soon I was humming every song and my spirits were lifted sky high. Paul was truly a master songsmith!
I bought this album when it was first released. Still got it. Yes, I am over 70 years old. I play Too Many People ( loud ) regularly when driving my car.
My copy was bought by my (now) late mother when it was released - so I literally grew up with it. A sentimental, as well as a musical, treasure! Still in pretty good shape, too!
Obviously the album stands the test of time. I just discovered it a month ago and it always sounds fresh even after listening to it over and over. It could have been produced yesterday. Linda's backing vocals gives the songs that extra energy and rawness that makes them great.
It is great when listened to straight through, something most people rarely do anymore. It also sounds great. Recorded in NYC and not London it is an engineering masterpiece that makes me wistful for what might have been if The Beatles decamped from antiquated 1960s Abby Road to NY. John answered Paul's shots on Ram with "How Do You Sleep?" a blistering track aimed right between Paul's eyes.
yes, ram on, as well as its reprise, is so beautiful. i also love the back seat of my car, especially when going into a long and slow falsetto part. tu tulu tulululu tuu tululu. this album is paul's best with his highest spirit..
I’m so glad this video was made. I have long claimed that this was the high point of McCartney’s solo career. So many times an artist creates a masterpiece which is overlooked by both critics and fans. Billy Joel’s Cold Spring Harbor is another such record.
@@OroborusFMA I’m not looking for a fight but I happen to like Mr. Joel’s 70’s output; he was an extraordinary piano talent if only a fraction of the songwriter of Macca. My point was not to compare them but to show that many great albums get overlooked. Another example is the first couple Steven Stills solo efforts; again they’re great but nobody paid attention. Peace brother.
You're singing my song. I still consider this Paul's best album. Too Many People is one of his greatest rockers with my all time favorite guitar solo. All the rest of the songs range from good to classic.
The amount of work that went into this album must've been immense. The guitar and bass lines are so amazing. Paul and Linda vocal harmonies are perfect. The drumming is superb. Everyone seems like they're having so much fun.
It is far and away my favorite solo Beatles album, and has been since it's release coincided with my step from elementary school to junior high school. Fantastic album, and thank you for a great review.
On Monkberry, Paul's lyric "terrible sight" of "Two youngsters concealed in a barrel" is a reference to John and Yoko's infamous"Bag Event". Also, in Heart of the Country, Paul's "good night's sleep" is an answer to John's "How do you Sleep?".
If you were even half alive in the early 70's you were aware of the Ram On album. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey was played on the radio everyday. I purchased the album when it was released and still have it.
I was disappointed in a lot of Paul's solo albums from the 70s. I loved Band on the Run and the others just didn't hold up. The summer of 1976, right before my senior year in High school, i was shopping in Dallas and bought Ram. It quickly became not only my favorite Paul album, but one of my all time favorites. I still consider it his best solo work.
@@mayag224 Hi, Yes I have both albums. I'm old enough to have been around and have been following his music since the first Beatles album. Flaming Pie is great. Chaos is just ok for me. Run Devil Run is great, "No Other Baby" with David Gilmour on lead guitar is awesome. There is an unreleased album from the late 70's called Pizza and Fairy Tails that is quite good. It can be found on the internet if you are interested. There are also alternative versions of some of his 70's albums with different songs never released.
Fresh, organic, honest - no involvement of people interested in mass appeal. In my view it's hands down the most McCartney a McCartney album can get. I really love the silliness in some of the songs. When I heard Smile Away for the first time I was rolling on the floor laughing. In my view it was a necessary album for him as it closed the Beatles chapter and opened the Wings chapter. Funnily, neither the Beatles nor Wings ever made the same impact on me as this particular album did.
Super great album - Dear Boy may also have some reference to Linda's first husband who 'let her go". Its sad to think of John or Paul releasing fantastic musical creations loaded with some snarky/sniping shots. So I'd like to think we are misconstruing some of this. Ok but then again...the Ram album cover also includes a photo of two beetles screwwing - and that is a pretty clear reference!
Love it! Also, my favorite McCartney album. Definitely not the first Wings album though, it was credited to Paul and Linda. Also, Dear Boy was about Linda’s first husband.
I just heard this the first time yesterday. I went and bought a Tribit Bluetooth speaker, and this just sounds so lovely. That opening is powerful and just mesmerizing.
It's hard to believe that many 'critics' did not care for this album. I think it is probably his best post Beatles album. Linda's voice was a wonderful addition to his new sound.
Interesting take, but I don't think it's so hard to believe that the critics didn't warm to the album at first. The Beatles had set such a high bar that an album without an immediately lovable equivalent of Yesterday or Eleanor Rigby would be considered a bit of a let down. As well as that, with George becoming the media favourite at the time after All Things Must Pass, it became fashionable to give Paul a hard time. I think it was only after the song Band on the Run came out that the critics realized that he was still a force to be reckoned with.
@@robertstewart239 It seems that is the case with the 'critics'. But everyone has their own style of music that they favor. I think Too Many People and Uncle Albert are on par with most of the great Beatle songs. I much prefer those songs over Yesterday, which I wouldn't even put in my top 50 Beatle songs. To me a fan's opinion is just as important if not more so than a self described critic.
@@thisplaceisazoo Most reviews were following Rolling Stones lead on the review. They were regarded by many as the ultimate experts at the time. Their editor rejected a positive review of the album and required that the writer resubmit a negative review. John Lennon was in their pocket at the time, appearing in almost every issue, and they wanted to keep it that way.
@@robertstewart239 Let's not denounce All Things Must Pass, George was always a force to be reckoned with, and I think we should all be just a little sad at the fact that the songwriting partnership didn't involve all three of the terrific songwriters in The Beatles.
Ram is 1 of my favourite solo McCartney albums. Too Many People, 3 Legs, Heart Of The Country, Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, Ram On, Dear Boy, Back Seat of My Car are all McCartney's great songs. His debut McCartney, Band On The Run obviously, Venus and Mars, Tug Of War, Flaming Pie and Chaos and Creation in the Backyard are all classic McCartney.
Chaos and Creation is INCREDIBLY underrated. Don’t hear it much outside of Macca spaces, it’s seriously one of my favorite records ever. Seriously no duds top to bottom.
William Shepherd (aka Billy Shears) created the album RAM in his “role” as Paul McCartney. In the song “Ram On” , William was speaking (singing) to the Real Paul, who had died in a car crash in 1966.
What an amazing break-down of *RAM...* I was around when this album came out... Besides the great music inside I noticed one thing in particular, how sweet Linda's voice was, it blended perfectly with Paul, a very unique sound... Thank you so much for taking the time to make and post this excellent video♪♫♪

RAM is my Favorite by McCartney. It's loose. Paul really shows his vocal Range on this record. I loved this period of Paul. McCartney, RAM, Wildlife RRSW and Band on the RUN. In 97 another one. Flaming Pie. I listen to RAM quite a bit. I wish Another Day and OH Woman Oh Why was included on RAM. It would have Strengthen the record even more. RAM is a Masterpiece. It's aged Wonderfully.
I wasn't overly impressed when it came out but have really grown to appreciate Ram more so in the last few years. I kicked back and listened to it from beginning to end a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it. My brother mentioned that his daughter, my niece, a 30 year old millennial, was raving about Monkberry Moon Delight just last year.
I love "Ram", although it's not my favorite McCartney album. I never get tired of listening to it and I periodically keep returning to it. It is definitely an underrated album. By the way, I love "Heart of the Country." It has a beautiful, infectious melody.
Thanks, I appreciate that! Thinking about incorporating video as well in the near future, would definitely make the videos a little easier to edit together
Bought this album on 170th St. flipside record store in the Bronx spring of 1971. I was nine years old & my favorite McCartney album of all time and his best. Even though those pigs over at the Rolling Stones pand it what do they know
Ram for me still remains one of PM’s best. Bought it on its release in 71 at the age of seventeen and for me it still retains a magical texture that none of his other albums quite matched. Wild Life which soon followed although not a commercial success had the same feel although not the wide arc of songs, still a treasure worth checking out. Little Lamb Dragonfly was a Ram session song that eventually ended up on Red Rose Speedway in 73, and when one becomes aware of that you see how it would still fit into the Ram album. Band On The Run was PM’s perfect pop band album and he was in full swing by then but it’s RAM I always go back to time and time again. Thanks for the professional overview of this classic solo Beatle album- well done😎👌
i bought the album from a lad at school for £1! i wanted the "uncle albert/ admiral halsey" song ,theres not a bad song on it and i love lindas vocals intertwined with pauls.. by far for me his best album
Listen, Ram is my favorite album of all time, I love it, I love it so incredibly much and I do think had it been better produced, it would have been historically seen otherwise, it is literally one of the greatest albums of all time, but it lacked in production value and Linda's vocals were off to say the least, Paul needed John on this album... So had he just done a couple things differently, I think the album would have exploded in popularity to the extent where it would have been a household name today
Great Album and probably my favorite Paul’s work after The Beatles. Great review, thank you for taking me back to that time when the album was released!
oh yeah. Easily my favorite post-Beatles Paul album and I've been saying it for years. This album had a unique spirit and unity to it, as well as one great track after another. There was some mystical force working with them on this.
muy bueno !!!! i speak spanish , but try some english ..... great comments !!!! Paul is just the best (for me) Venus and Mars is the greatest album of all time ( again : for me ) different voices , styles , arrangements melodies and the feeling is above the skies but yes, Ram is a total masetrpiece too , really really amazing ( the second best ever for my musical taste)
A lot of people miss the lyrics in the fadeout of the Ram On reprise: "Who's that coming round that corner, who's that coming round that bend?". It's the opening lyrics of 'Big Barn Bed', which opens the Red Rose Speedway album. It's like Paul started this song on one album and finished on the next one! Another unappreciated "first".
I always loved this album......simply brilliant ...his best in my opinion...but it was not liked by the critics on its original release ..in fact it was lambasted..! Strange they've all changed their minds now .!
A musical tour de force, apart from Paul's amazing all round musicianship, Linda really does add a new, vibrant, fun edge. So ahead of its time, lots of critics and fellow musicians just didn't get it at the time. It certainly has for me a wonderful fusion of USA and UK! It has matured like a fine Californian wine!
Hands down the best McCartney album. It could have been recorded yesterday, it sounds so contemporary. Re ukes: George used to carry a bootload of ukes when travelling, just in case. I suspect they all did this.
I grew up listening to and loving this record. I was so surprised later, when I grew up, to read that the critics panned this record. Paul was really hurt by that.

Yes, it is a masterpiece! It has always been my favourite Macca album of all times.
This album is just genious
Love “RAM”. Also love “McCartney”. The songs on both albums are all about their love and togetherness. So beautiful.

I believe RAM was released months prior to the IMAGINE album.
@@johnkayak5488 Correct. Lennon even had a postcard of himself holding a pig by the ears, mocking Paul's Ram cover.

"Dear Boy" was always believed by the late John Lennon to be about him. Lyrically, it fits like a glove.
Apparently John did think this, until Paul told him that the song was actually about Linda's ex husband. You can find lots of references online.

I agree totally, that this is Paul's best post Beatles work.
The BOY in Dear Boy is in actual fact Joseph Melville See Jr. (Linda McCartney’s ex-husband). The whole song is a message from Paul to him.
Timeless Classic Album. My favourite of any of the Beatles Solo Albums.
Great Album and probably my favorite Paul’s work after The Beatles.

but yes, Ram is a total masetrpiece too , really really amazing ( the second best ever for my musical taste)
Venus and Mars is great too!
Vale escuchar a "Dear Boy." Una hermosa composición que crece en amplitud a medida que avanza. Algo tan simple, pero tan poderoso.
A lot of people miss the lyrics in the fadeout of the Ram On reprise: "Who's that coming round that corner, who's that coming round that bend?". It's the opening lyrics of 'Big Barn Bed', which opens the Red Rose Speedway album. It's like Paul started this song on one album and finished on the next one! Another unappreciated "first".
Very strong album, love it
I always loved this album......simply brilliant ...his best in my opinion...but it was not liked by the critics on its original release ..in fact it was lambasted..! Strange they've all changed their minds now .!
A musical tour de force, apart from Paul's amazing all round musicianship, Linda really does add a new, vibrant, fun edge. So ahead of its time, lots of critics and fellow musicians just didn't get it at the time. It certainly has for me a wonderful fusion of USA and UK! It has matured like a fine Californian wine!
My number one McCartney album! And I used to do a Beatles tribute show!
Ram and Wild Life are my two faves...
Hands down the best McCartney album. It could have been recorded yesterday, it sounds so contemporary. Re ukes: George used to carry a bootload of ukes when travelling, just in case. I suspect they all did this.
Great great song
Ram is a masterpiece ... period.
🐂💩
It’s amazing
It's a brilliant album.
I grew up listening to and loving this record. I was so surprised later, when I grew up, to read that the critics panned this record. Paul was really hurt by that.
Well done
