Ram comes on the heels of "McCartney", Paul's first post-Beatles album (and therefore his most scrutinized one), and is the result of his teaming with his wife Linda.  Despite that, it's still very much Macca's album and although the album is not heavy on singles, it is a throroughly strong album all the way through.  Paul is obviously in fine form rocking through great tunes like "Too Many People" and "The Back Seat of My Car".  Ram is also home to the two polar opposites of Paul:  his soft side, displayed well on "Heart of the Country" and "Uncle Albert/ Admiral Halsey", and his raucous screaming rocker side, epitomized by the excellent "Monkberry Moon Delight".  While it's hard to tell what influence Linda had on the album, she does provide some nice back-up vocals on tracks like "Long-Haired Lady".  Ram is a very balanced album with almost every track a standout.  My personal Favourite.
