A little bit of...: What about... WINGS?? (PART II)

After the big sensations that RAM brought with its unforgetable songs such as Too Many People, Another day... -among others- we should know that the real band IS NOW AN OFFICIAL BAND. And with its own name Wings. Now, Paul, with Denny Seiwell at drums, Denny Laine on guitar -and much more- and Linda at keyboards. They had just spread their wings to fly further, very further...

They release their first album (IN TWO DAYS!!) as an official band, called Wild Life. As I read, Wild life, is maybe -as some sour critics that never lacks!- the worst album in the history of the band, something that we have to prove with our own ears and taste :)

This album is known as "neo-garage- because of their sound, almost like punk, distored guitars, and a kind of "dirty sound"-as people say-

We must remember that also, Paul mixed his songs with country, rock and roll, and even hard rock, something that gave the band that unique personality. Maybe, it would contain some of BEATLE sounds, in the new album.

Who presents the album is a man called Clint Harrigan... the same Paul McCartney in pseudonym.

The songs of the album are:

Side A

1.-Mumbo

2.-Bip Bop

3.-Love is Strange (Buddy Holly)

4.- Wild Life

Side B

1.-Some people never know

2.-I am your singer

3.-Tomorrow

4.-Dear Friend

Love is Strange, is originally sung by Buddy Holly and also by many others -It's a nice song-

Tomorrow, is a sweet love ballad that ends with a slightly hard rocking vocals by Paul.

I am your singer, is maybe one of the songs that make us to imagine that we are listening to The Beatles. Linda's vocals on the song are very soft and beautiful, in spite of all the critics that she had to listen on those days...

Dear friend is maybe the most "fancy" song of the album, is a long ballad, that maybe recalls us some blues melodies... Wild Life, is maybe one of the most wild songs of the album!! But it worths to lisent despite all the critics...

About Tours... They started touring on February 1972, rather in universties as Oxford, Nottingham, Lancaster etc.

Another tour happens in the middle of said year called "Wings Over Europe" starting in France, ending in Germany.
