About Ram
Ram is the second solo studio album by Paul McCartney (credited to Paul & Linda McCartney), released in 1971. Recorded during a tumultuous period following the breakup of The Beatles, the album features McCartney’s experimentation with various musical styles and genres.
Ram showcases McCartney’s versatility as a songwriter and musician, featuring a mix of catchy pop melodies, folk-influenced tunes, and rock ‘n’ roll energy. The album’s songs cover a wide range of themes, from personal reflections to social commentary.
