Ram

by Paul & Linda McCartney

Ram cover art

Credited to Paul and Linda McCartney, 'Ram' is a meticulously crafted work of pop artistry that blends homespun charm with professional New York studio production, including orchestral arrangements and the use of session musicians. The album's lyrics juxtapose themes of domestic bliss with thinly veiled references to the acrimonious dissolution of The Beatles, most notably in the song "Too Many People," which contains lyrical digs at John Lennon. Though commercially successful, the album was initially met with widespread critical derision, but has since been entirely re-evaluated and is now celebrated as a foundational text of indie pop and a highlight of McCartney's solo career.
