    5.0 out of 5 stars RAM ON - 40 YEARS AFTER
    Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I really think a lot of people missed the point of this album when it was released 40 years ago. And hindsight has not helped many others.

    Ram marked an important step in McCartney's post-Beatles-divorce rehab. If the McCartney solo album marked Paul's first tentative steps back into the studio, Ram marked an important step forward. McCartney retreated, Linda in tow, to hippy life on the farm - "lookin' for life in the country" - and re-discovered the simple joys of living outside the bubble. Life revolved around family. You see it in the well-know accompanying photographs (some not as well known). This was Paul & Linda's album. While Linda's contributions to Paul's music may still be debatable (god rest her soul) there is no denying that her voice is as deeply embedded in our aural memories of this album as Paul's. Her singing in Admiral Halsey is nothing if not iconic at this point. In Ram, Paul discovered the joys of loosening up, not worrying about perfection, and frankly, not giving a damn what anyone else thoughts about his songs.

    He also re-discovered his own roots: 3 chord 50s doo-wop based music. We hear this in songs like 3 Legs, Eat At Home, and Smile Away - pure 1950's fluff. It was as far from psychedelic Pepperland as he could get.

    The songs were, and remain, thrilling pop. Too Many People, explains McCartney's reasons for his return to the farm, as well as the simplicity of the album. It was - and remains - a stunning album opener. Arena crowds were thrilled to hear it live during the 2009(?) tour. (Interestingly, Paul introduced it during the tour as being "...for all you Wings fans out there". Which was rather odd, as Wings hadn't yet formed.

    UA/AH remains as timeless, and catchy - impossible to get out of your head really - as it did when it first dominated the AM/FM airwaves. I still see kids - my grandkids - dancing and laughing to the refrain. I mean really - who can resist smiling upon hearing Linda's "hands across the water"? Monkberry Moon Delight is, well delightful; a raucous, rocking ode to home brew. McCartney takes it a bit over the top at the end, but, that's McCartney. (And just humor me for a moment: imagine, if you will, in your mind's ear - Dylan singing Monkberry Moon Delight with the Travelling Wilburies!)

    Dear Boy is one of those beautiful seamless melodies that McCartney seems able to lift out of the air. The "ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba" Serendipity Singers pseudo baroque background singing remains perfect. Backseat Of My Car continues to have a simple majesty that is inexplicably timeless, given the simple sentiment expressed in the song. What is ukelele based Ram On, if not the rhythmic precursor to the mandolin based Dance Tonight? And don't even get me started on Smile Away. I'm biased. My early garage band used it to warm up and sound check. Many fond memories there. ("A-yai-yai-yai-yai-yai-yai-yai - - "). Crank up Smile Away; just listen to the texture in that fuzz bass!

    The remastering is brilliant; Paul's bass is not nearly as prominent as the Beatles remasters, and that's all for the good. The sound is more cohesive. The bonus disc (which seems to be garnering more than its fair share of attention from those desiring more or less or different, is 34 minutes of Paulie pleasure. I have always been a huge fan of the original Another Day/Woman, Oh Why single and it was great to hear the latter again. Just listen to the flexibility of McCartney's voice - both in WWOW, as well as the opening of Two Many People.

    Ram continues to delight. It was a brilliant step up from "McCartney" (excepting Every Night and Maybe I'm Amazed), light ears away from the debacle of Wings' Wild Life, and a hook-laden foundation for McCartney's true shot of redemption - Band On The Run. As a snapshot of the artist during a very transitional period of his life, Ram has nothing to apologize for. It was, in Paul Simon's words, "a time of innocence/a time of consequences".

    Indeed. Preserve your memories - they're all that's left you. (And memory's almost full).

    Godspeed, Sir Paul! (from the guy who met you and Nancy on line for popcorn at the Zeigfeld Theater at the opening weekend of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull)

    5.0 out of 5 stars I Like How the Second CD Has other McCartney Singles That were never on albums
    Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    This has always been my favorite McCartney solo album, and as I grew up with the Beatles, I bought every single album that Paul made. I even bought three of his son's albums. So it was a great plure to get "Another Day" on that second CD. I loved that song when I has a kid and heard it on the radio. I was never a buyer of Singles back then, so I never owned it. Anyway, about 20 years ago I sold all of my Vinyl records, not knowing they would be popular again. And by "sold" I mean 50¢ at the most for an album at Half Price Books. Boy do I regret selling my Vinyl. It meant that I later had to rebuy all the Beatle albums as CD's.

    5.0 out of 5 stars How much do I love Ram?
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I love this album so much I literally wore out my 1st copy, a birthday gift from my brother 40-odd years back.

    I love it so much I just *had to* hear it at 2 am a month back…and traipsed out to my car to hunt it down, slipping on some invisible black ice on the way (I blame you, Paul McCartney!).

    I love it so much it would be impossible to pick less than, say, five favorite songs from the mix.

    Best of all, the 33 minutes of bonus material here is far from ‘extra’. By my count, it features three songs that could’ve outshone Long Haired Lady on Ram: the Professor Longhair-ish Little Woman Love, jam rocker Rode All Night and A Love For You—what sounds like a would-be hit single, circa ‘71.

    Linda McCartney’s family photos and recording shots are really exquisite; overall, the gorgeous remastered album design befits the music itself.

    Plus, there’s just something about that ram’s expression that follows me around…

    5.0 out of 5 stars McCartney's coolest album gets an upgrade!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Ram, originally released in 1971, is one of Paul's finest moments. It's raw simplicity is what makes it special.. and why so many fans cherish it to this day. McCartney fans will already know the history of this album... Written in Scotland with his wife Linda during a rough period in Paul's life, dealing with the break-up of the Beatles and coming off a poorly recieved, although successful album (McCartney). The supposed pot-shots at his old songwriting partner, John Lennon.. etc etc.

    The history is great, but the songs are what make it for me! "Too Many People" and "Heart of the Country" are brilliant. Who can forget "Uncle Albert" (a US #1) and it's irresistible chorus? I'll never forget the first time I heard that song, didn't know what to make of it, but I loved it. "Eat at Home" will get you up and moving... same with "Monkberry Moon Delight", a perfectly weird, rocking song that happens to be my favorite on the album. "The Back Seat of My Car" was a minor hit and also a very good song.

    As far as the remaster goes, the sound is a definite sonic upgrade! Much cleaner sounding.. and as the other reviewer mentioned, not a loudness war victim. Remastered with much care.

    The bonus disc is great but only has a running time of 33 minutes. You get the non-album single "Another Day" (A Top 5 Hit) and it's B-Side "Oh Woman Oh Why" - which is a great tune! Plus we get a few alternate mixes and rarities. It's a great little bonus disc but a few more songs, demos etc, wouldn't have hurt.

    The packaging is decent also. Comes in a quality digipak with an attached booklet full of photos and song lyrics. I'm a bit surprised there are no liner notes but I guess you'll have to shell out the bucks for the super deluxe version for those.

    All in all - a great album in a great, 2 CD remastered package! "Ram On" and pick it up!

    One of my favorites of All Time. Front to back it just doesnt get any better, I put it as a tie with George Harrisons' "All Things Must Pass" as the Greatest Solo Albums by former Beatles. Disc 2 has some interesting outtakes & a missing song that wasnt included on the album & released as a single that most will also immediately recognize.....
