Released in May 1971, RAM is the only studio album officially credited to the spousal duo Paul and Linda McCartney. Following the dramatic breakup of The Beatles, Paul escaped to his farm in Scotland before heading to New York City to record this eccentric, joyful, and highly inventive collection of pop and rock songs. The album is famous for its playful lyrics and wildly diverse musical styles. Key features of the album include: The Sound: It bridges sweet folk-pop and quirky psychedelia. Paul's intricate basslines and Linda's supportive backing vocals give the record a cozy, homemade charm. The Hits: It features "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey", which became Paul's first number-one hit in the United States without The Beatles. The Drama: Songs like "Too Many People" contained subtle jabs at Paul's former bandmate, John Lennon. Critical Reception: Critics originally hated it, but decades later, it is celebrated as a masterpiece and a major influence on modern indie-pop music.
