[@IsaacWale2004]

That's cool, I'm glad you posted it :)

[@jxchamb]

Thanks for the upload. You need to check out the extended edition of the record because it includes the single Another Day. One of my favorite songs by Paul (including his songs with the Beatles). Absolutely beautiful song.

[@modisamir1693]

We need reaction for now and then the latest beatles song please 🥹

RAM is by far one of if not my favorite McCartney solo album. It's also widely considered to be one of the first indie rock/pop album.

[@57too]

True

[@The5thGen]

This is my favorite McCartney album.

[@redadamearth]

"Dear Boy" was a song written by McCartney (by his own admission) that was addressed to Linda's ex-husband who apparently was a jerk and "didn't know what he had", etc.

[@teastrainer3604]

John Lennon mistakenly thought it was about him.

[@wpollock1]

My favorite on the album.

[@davidt7482]

Please give a listen to "Another Day," which was recorded during the Ram sessions. It was released as a single but not on the original album. It is very Beatles-esque. . . . and glad you're back.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Flip side too, Oh Woman oh Why. Those were released a year later in Spring 1971 in the USA

[@stlmopoet]

This is a brilliant album. It was trashed when it first came out, but now in retrospect it gets high praise from almost all quarters. Your reaction was fun!

[@Cbcw76]

I've always thought it was only trashed by the anti-Paul forces.

[@fmellish71]

Yeah the critics all rallied behind John Lennon after the Beatles broke up for being a "real" artist and constantly dismissed Paul's work for being "superficial." Critics always got behind music that was "for the people," was relatable and understandable to them and that allowed them to anoint. They hated music that didn't need their blessing to get across to the people, either calling it dumb or self-indulgent when, in actual fact, its often the critics who are dumb and self-indulgent.

[@curtb9567]

Rolling Stone Mag had a standing policy from the editor to trash his albums. Band on the Run was undeniably great, as they had to finally admit.

[@MarionJInce]

As a teenager, I bought this album when it was released. I loved it then and still do!

[@mikelig8365]

me too, still have the album.

[@hugocosta9371]

Last night i revisited RAM and fell in love with it again (not that i ever fell out of love with it). One of the best albums ever made and the beginning of Indie Pop.

[@MrDiddyDee]

Paul initially kept the tradition The Beatles held for most of their career, of a single release with songs that didn't appear on the album. Check out Paul's fist solo hit single 'Another day', which was backed by 'Woman,oh,why'. These songs were added as bonus tracks when RAM was released on CD format.

[@davidrauh8118]

He was working on Back Seat Of My Car as far back as the Get Back Sessions. Surprised it didn't make it on Abbey Road. Heart Of The Country is one of my favorites. Who cares what the critics say. Glad to see you again Caroline.

[@MrAschiff]

It didn't appear on Abbey Road because it wasn't good enough and because they had to get Ringo a song on the record

[@DonaldMains]

Back Seat of my Car is better than Maxwell's Silver Hammer any of the day of the week for me. But for some reason Paul has a special affinity for Maxwell's Silver Hammer @@MrAschiff

[@MrAschiff]

@@DonaldMains BSC came out on RAM in 1971. Had he written the song when the Beatles worked on it in 1969?

[@DonaldMains]

Yes, BSC was part of the rejected songs from the Get back sessions.I'm speculating here, It might not have been totally flushed out by the time of Abbey Road which is why it never got on AR, or perhaps Paul thought MSH was better. it tough to say why it was excluded from AR because I definitely feel BCS is better than MSH. @@MrAschiff

[@paulopinheirosc]

@@DonaldMains It makes sense to me that he did save BSC for another occasion because it relies so much on string arrangements and the "Get Back" project was about simplicity. Back to the roots.

[@peytonwilliams3107]

I just Love this album. I feel like it’s the closest in sound we ever got to another Beatles album. Some of the others’ solo stuff does give that vibe of course, but not quite like RAM does. It’s also so charmingly loose. Paul’s having fun, Linda’s having fun, and no one is taking anything too seriously. If you want some more Paul I’d recommend Band On The Run or Venus and Mars. However, even if you don’t react to it, I think you owe it to yourself to give All Things Must Pass, George’s debut, a listen. I think it would be right up your alley

[@mikelig8365]

I graduated from high school in 1974, many of the songs from the Ram album got regular play on the radio, Uncle Albert on the pop rock stations and the more esoteric songs on the FM album rock station. Having witnessed the rise and reign of the Beatles then going through the collective sadness of their break up I was ecstatic to hear that Paul and Linda put a band together and were touring small venues in Europe. Each album they put out in the early days was a gift. While growing up in that era brings with it the present day tax of old age and infirmity I am so grateful to have grown up when music wasn't just another digital distraction, it was an analog part of your spirit, a molding force in your life. The notes that were pressed into the vinyl were the actual notes played by the musicians, rich and warm, not digital facsimiles, pure and sterile like ice. We had album covers that held the art and the stories that were part of the music. When you bought an album you were changed, you became the owner of the music that you loved on the radio, there were new songs you had never heard. You sat with the album cover in your hands and you listened. You poured over every picture, every word. The music you listened to became part of the beautiful things of your young life, some of it had gone dormant until I came across your video. Thank you for sharing the Ram album, if only you had heard it back when music was magical.

[@57too]

I agree

[@whydoibother1632]

Well said. They're part of the very fabric of our lives. 60s & 70s were like no others, for those who were seeing it still unfold

[@nflr92]

As a kid in the early 70's, I LOVED Uncle Albert. It had the voices and sound effects and I was in second grade and that appealed to me. But the B side was Too Many People and that also stuck with me. I didn't really know from the Beatles - I just knew I liked what I heard. I'm nearly 60 now and I still remember listening to those two songs over and over and over.....

[@geoffholmes8173]

Approaching 60 too and ditto - Uncle Albert is very nostalgic of childhood.

[@markvamos2400]

Loved this and loved your rendition of Ram On!

[@CallMeCaroline]

Thankyou!

[@IsaacWale2004]

I liked your little cover at the end :)

[@moptop7944]

I'm very happy you decided to Get Back to Beatles reactions and their solo albums. This was good! I do prefer the style of your early reaction videos with true reactions and 1st impressions, without all the graphics and research into song history and context, and choppy edits. McCartney's 1st album which was a one man band performance is interesting, Johns Plastic One Band album & Imagine, and Georges All Things Must Pass are all worth doing. Would also love to see you do their movies... Hard Days Night, Help, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, Get Back. The song at the end was a nice touch! Very beautiful.

[@rosmeeker1964]

Yes. So glad you listened to this. I was one who said you should listen to all the first solo albums. But McCartney's was the certainly a good place to start. I love 'Heart of the Country,' Used to sing while I was out riding my horse. 'I got a horse, gotta cow, got 7 cats who say miaow.' :)

[@noi-music]

I think it might indeed have been a good choice to take Pauls 2nd solo album, because you can here more of his own musical development there. All things Must Pass vs. Living in the Material World by George would be a similar situation. Or Plastic Ono Band vs. Imagine.

[@rafailkarampetsos6914]

So glad you releasing new content welcome back

[@jxchamb]

Absolute masterpiece. And yes there were jabs at John which included a picture of two beetles screwing each other on the artwork for the record.

[@rogermiller2159]

What I love about Paul is he creates songs that people want to sing along want learn, with no difficulty. Every one of these songs draw me in to join in. This is a what composers and bands hope to create. I think it’s John’s priority .

[@briandonovan1584]

Just woke up to this in my notifications ... I'm already enjoying it and haven't even started listening/watching. You must do more of Paul's stuff with Wings, solo and with the other bands he has assembled over the past 50+ years. So many absolute gems and masterpieces its incredible. I have really enjoyed your Beatles journey but there is so much more. Love you, Caroline.

[@senatorfred]

The end of Ram On reprise, the lyrics "Who's that coming 'round that corner," etc. will later show up in the song "Big Barn Bed" on his Red Rose Speedway album a couple years later.

[@mariomf1644]

Btw welcome back! I hope you react to Real Love, Free As A Bird and finally to Now And Then, the last Beatles song. If you read about the context of the first 2 songs you'll understand why you should to react to the 3 songs together

[@stevenboettcher4796]

Great to see and hear this review. Ram may be my favorite McCartney album just because of Monkberry Moon Delight. What's funny is my second favorite McCartney solo song was recorded for this album but wasn't released for almost 30 years: A Love For You. Now you need to do John's Plastic Ono Band and Imagine. Please.

[@ronrago2696]

I was so glad to see your notification. I got hooked on your Beatles reaction which actually got me in to reactions at all. You were the first & thank you for that. It is too much fun!

[@buttercup1765]

I love this album... It just oozes newfound love and happiness. Paul had gotten his second musical wind with Linda's help❤️. Love your cover!

[@instadc]

RAM is definitely an album that grows on you with repeated listens. On my first time through, I was like "OK, this is nice" but I didn't "get" the album. I grew to love it over time, and now it's my favorite of Paul's (though I'm very partial to "Venus and Mars"). I actually came across a picture on reddit where someone picked up an old copy of RAM on vinyl, and scrawled on the yellowed paper sleeve was something to the effect of "Listen to this 10 times before you say it's not that great"-and wow, if that isn't the truth. It's an album that showcases all the things that Paul does well: setting moods to songs, putting fragments of songs together in a medley that just *works*, quiet beautiful melodies ("Heart of the Country") followed by a screamer ("Monkberry Moon Delight"). The entire album is just a joy. "Smile Away" is just one of my favorites of Paul's-that part where suddenly it kicks up a key and the lyrics go "ay-ay-ay" is one of my favorite moments ever. And as for the lyrics, Paul's smiling while others are just saying terrible things about him, including to his face-inside he's struggling, but he's still smiling away. Brilliant.

[@jyutzler]

That's funny because I "got" it immediately, perhaps more than any of his other solo material. (I don't personally see what all the fuss is about regarding Band on the Run, for example.) Perhaps the fact that I didn't discover it until my late 30s or early 40s was a factor.

[@instadc]

@@jyutzler Band on the Run was an instant “love it” for me. RAM took longer but now it’s my favorite. Paul’s Wings catalog is pretty underrated. I even like Wild Life!

[@sarahfullerton6894]

Did anyone here know that Linda's backup vocals for "Smile Away", are, first, "Don't Know How to Do That", and then, "Learning How to Do That"? Also, her, Duh-duh-duh's are actually "Don't, don't dont"! Great songwriting! ("Smile Away" - "Don't Know How to Do That", "Smile Away" - Learning How to Do That".) "Don't, don't, don't...." "As I Was Walking Down the Street the Other Day, Who Do I Meet?" Etc...)

[@davidbaise5137]

The cover you do of Ram On is so terrific. Different, your own, but still the song. This helps others consider the song as possible covers as well. Thanks so much for your YT content. It is so enjoyable!

[@Brucemcleod2345]

Heart of the country is the best song - love it

[@thedanielnatalshow3465]

"Too Many People" is the stand-out track on the album. You can hear echoes of "Baby, You're A Rich Man's" melody in it [which was written by John]. The "How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people" line sounds evocative of "That was your first mistake/You took your lucky break" line by Paul. So he WAS musically channeling John in the song, whether consciously or not.

[@thomastimlin1724]

I'm glad I came across Caroline today...i have not seen her in a while, and I needed cheering up, lost a favorite cousin of mine, and my wife' older sister all in one week. Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey was a giant hit, #1 for Paul in the USA. Back in the day, we were all singing it in the junior high school halls just to annoy the teachers ..."Hands Across the Water" lol. Denny Seiwell played drums on t his album and became a member of Wings. He was a initially a jazz drummer. The use of a fully diminished chord in Eat at Home...something most rockers never did, but the Beatles often did....why don't you have a hit song on the charts yet girl?!! At least try to make Taylor Swift jealous, eh?

[@tobismusicchannel3033]

Glad to see you back. Ram is an album that grew on me, didn't always like it that much, but now it's one of my favorite solo albums by Paul. You should definitely also check out Lennon's Plastic Ono Band and Imagine and Harrisons All Things Must Pass.

[@BermondseySteve]

Wow! Your vocals and accompaniment/ arrangement were simply gorgeous! I thought of you singing this solo under a spotlight on a darkened theatre stage - you are so lovely. I hope we'll hear more!

Paul McCartney doing a Indie-pop record almost a decade before the concept even exists

[@eliabe702]

All Things Must Pass is a must. George harrison's masterpiece and probably the best solo album by a beatle

[@salernolake]

Hi Caroline! Hope you're doing well. There is no snootier group of people than rock music critics. Music, to pass their muster, must have DEEP lyrics with important messages, while not being in the slightest bit pop music. Paul answered his critics best with his wonderful "Silly Love Songs." Sometimes a song is just a song, pleasing to the ear. Paul will be remembered long after the critics are forgotten.

[@Tavg123]

yes finally a new beatles reaction video! and it's my favorite solo album :D

[@DanielMassey690]

Such joy you bring with your reactions; and amazing to hear you sing again, what a treat! 🤩

[@mizzo9]

I actually love Linda’s singing on this album. She’s not a singer but her voice and contribution is fun to hear. Paul has said he had never sung with a female before and enjoyed it. You can tell they were enjoying the time working together.

[@paulridenour1086]

When the Beatles broke up, I was 10. We only had the LPs Help and Abbey Road. During the next year, I got all of the Beatles albums for my birthday or Christmas and I bought the rest for $4.66 each and the White Album was the last one I bought for $11. Ram came out shortly afterwards and I played Ram until I wore it out. I wore out Revolver, Abbey Road, and Sgt Pepper. To this day, I think Ram is Paul's best solo album. Uncle Albert is his best single. Dear Boy going into Uncle Albert/Admital Halsey is just fantastic. I'm a singer because of Paul and a drummer because of Ringo. I learned to sing harmony from Paul and John. Another Day was another fantastic hit single that should have been on the Ram LP. All of the many vocals and background vocals on Monkberry Moon Delight are just great. I know why so many people say this is their favorite McCartney album because it just is. Thanks for doing a review on it.

"Monkberry Moon Delight" is one of my favorite vocals by Paul, from his whole career, and I consider it one of the best vocals in all of Rock and Roll, specifically because of all those ad-libbed scats in the second half of the song. The vocal is just amazing to me. And, of course, his vocals on the whole album are excellent. Glad you decided to react to this. It's def my favorite McCartney album, edging out a few others for that top spot. And the breadth of creativity on this album is, as is per par for him, stupendous. I'm sure someone else has mentioned this, ut RAM is now considered by many to be the first Indy-rock album.

Hey Caroline. Missed you. Please do Paul like you did the Beatles (at least 70’s Paul/Wings). Although he was finding footing in McCartney, Ram and the first 2 Wings albums (Wildlife & Red Rose Speedway both of which I adore) he created a Masterpiece with Band On The Run (and the story of the recording in Lagos is great too). I think there are worthy songs on every Wings album but a few are true classics.

[@benoitrenaud519]

Glad that Caroline is back! Will she go through all the McCartney and Wings albums? That would be nice!

[@jprg1966]

First of all, welcome back, Caroline! Ram is the classic example of how critics listening with closed ears can miss beautiful music when it's released and only appreciate it later. It was arguably the birth of indie pop! I always thought "Too Many People" was a strange (in a good way!) song melodically, very distinctive in Paul's repertoire. You're the first person I've heard suggest that it may be subtlely influenced by Indian music!

[@user-gw9iq6ff9u]

Btw… Kate Perry told Paul Ram On is her favorite song of his while in Grahm Norton. He was genuinely touched.

[@gavinwhite9490]

On the Beatles' first northern tour (pre-fame), John, George & Paul all took on stage names. Paul's was 'Paul Ramon' - probably where he got the otherwise odd name for that song.

[@SAK1855]

Beautiful rendition of Ram On. I love the idea to include a cover segment in these videos to advance people's interest in your music.

[@markheenan5312]

Ram On is a piece of cake on the Uke, as long as you can manage a bar chord. Bar the first fret and hold it, 1-1-1-3 is the first chord, then move a finger over to make 3-1-1-1. Then it’s just C (0-0-0-3) and F (2-0-1-0) and that’s IT.

Do you prefer the original or the double album? I actually like the double album better-it’s an hour and a half of easygoing McCartney vibes.

[@B.R.0101]

@@instadc I love them two, it's a good listening absolutely!

[@Mediawatcher2023]

Monkberry Moon Delight is in the key of C minor. McCartney's vocals are accompanied by a chord progression consisting of Cm, Gm7, and G7 chords (i-v7-V7). In the chorus, which features Linda in a more active role on vocals, her and McCartney's singing is supported by Cm and Fm chords.This leads to an A♭7-G7-Cm harmonic succession, with the A♭7 functioning as an augmented sixth chord (Ger+6). McCartney's gruff, distinctive vocalization was influenced by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who later covered the song.

[@sarahfullerton6894]

"Monkberry Moon Delight" is one of my absolute favorite Paul McCartney solo songs. It's so sonically rich.. I especially like his counter-melody scat singing in the middle! Yes, Caroline, please check out "Another Day"! It, too, sounds very Beatles-esque!

[@greenbluemonkey]

One of my favourite albums against any category. Just simply brilliant music making. Really fun to listen to. And a bit of an edge to it underneath.
