Wings: Junior's Farm (1974 Abbey Road Studios)

[@mikewest6569]

Drummer is killing it.

[@Reelin_In_The_Years]

How big Jimmy would have been. The guy was magical, he really was. This was, by far, the finest line-up of Wings / Macca & his band, by a country mile. Sleep well Jimmy lad. 50 years on, we're still talking about you ❤

[@GordonWilkinson-t8b]

it was when Joe English joined after this

[@kyodoconsultingtraining967]

@@GordonWilkinson-t8b Yup, Geoff Britton apparently was picked on by Jimmy McCulloch and he got fed up and left. Britton appears on one or two tracks of the Venus & Mars album (at least on Listen To What The Man Said).

Jimmy’s guitar licks were just so perfect for the song. A real treasure.

When I first heard this my 8-track was popped in the player of my 1973 Comet GT. I was rocking out with my best girl. Now I am the old man that asks "Why is it more?" Getting old sucks but You Tube and a few Guinness = Screw it I'm gonna sing 1970's songs on the deck with the computer volume cranked as high as it will go. My wife does the same with Carley Simon. I love You Tube!

Jimmy McCulloch is by far the best guitar player ever to Play with Paul. That is saying something.

[@davidphillips7163]

True, I miss him...my god could he play!!

[@jimmelanson2430]

One of my all time favorite guitar solos on this song.

[@johng618]

mine too!!!

[@resireg]

ROAD To The Top George was never a very good soloist. He even invited his friend Eric Clapton to record "while my guitar gently weeps" solo guitar because he had more talent. John's talent was songwriting.

[@resireg]

ROAD To The Top songwriter as well. And he plays all instruments (as we see in videos like " fine line" and " coming up"). George, John and Paul were not great as live performers, they would write songs, many of them would become hits after covered by another artist, like Joe Cocker singing "With a little help from my friends", or "Dear Prudence" by Siouxsie and the Banshees. Thats what they knew how to do best. No Jimi Hendrix solos, no Keith Moon crazy drumming, no Beach Boys harmonies, etc

[@kpcallahan]

One of McCartney's most underrated songs - a brilliant piece of power pop and a fantastic burst of a guitar solo between the 1st and 2nd verse. Agree; this is the best live version I've seen.

Jimmy's first song he recorded with Wings. This was his first day in the job.

[@wanderer1955]

He was a professional musician at 15. Was a member of 60s band, Thunderclap Newman.

[@gbmaccafan]

This wasnt recorded at Abbey Road, It was recorded in Nashville at the Sound Shop, so this wouldnt be his first day

Who's Jimmy

[@wassupdoc2780]

I loved this song when I first heard it. The guitar part, especially the lead had me going right away. Still love listening to it. Jimmy kicked ass. Wish he was still here.

What a mighty band they were. Those were the days!

[@Netlife-001]

The last 50 seconds of an already brilliant song, absolute genius genius.

[@iconicshrubbery]

Yes, Paul did a great Ending, like in the Mess kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ6YqZaMnbdkmZo of the same period. And Back Seat of my Car. A crescendo descending to a dead halt.Slam dunk!

Take me down Jimmy! the line-up with Denny and Jimmy were the the most 🎸 rocking wings. though I love band on the run.

[@antonywalker3582]

Denny the traiter

[@andrewclark237]

Great song. Its frustrating that Paul doesn't get more recognition as one of music's most notable bass players. Granted, the score here is fairly basic, but the drive in the bass is Paul's talent punching through. The earlier Beatles works wouldn't sound the same without Paul 's bass walking all over the fret board. Refreshing to hear this song again after many years....

[@ririririr7604]

+Andrew Clark ???? I gave you a thumbs up on this because I agree with your points after your first sentence, but McCartney influenced THOUSANDS of bass players, myself included. He's #1 on the list and probably the best guy to learn bass from.

[@jasonrdrunner]

+Andrew Clark As a beginning bass player Beatle tunes are a bitch. Like you said, all over the fret board.

[@whyyeseyec]

Nobody was playing bass like McCartney in the 60's. The bass player in bands back then were primarily 3 note thumper's standing in the background. Paul is the melody master and probably was a good string player a half hour after he first picked up a guitar....

[@dmhuff39]

John Entwistle, may be the best British bassist of all time. Paul is a close second.

[@carlbaumeister3439]

The general public need to categorize. So, McCartney can't possibly be recognized as a great bassist since he's recognized as a great songwriter and singer. The public can't handle in their minds that he is one of the most influential and gifted bassists ever, as well as being pretty good on any number of instruments.

[@fernandogarajalde4066]

Great mix, great bass, excellent solos and tight, tight, tight vocals. Even Linda delivers on this one. 💖
