There's an endearing quality to Ram that, in my opinion (after nearly 40 years since its release), feels more like a Beatles recording than anything else produced by the "fab four" as individual artists.  If I think back to the Beatles albums from 1967-1970, then I don't feel hard pressed to find a place where the songs on Ram could fit.  In concept and/or content, there's the feeling of Abbey Road in songs such as "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" and "The Backseat Of My Car".  "Ram On" being essentially the title track and appearing twice on the album is reminiscent (in this sense) of Sergent Pepper. I could imagine "Smile Away" and "3 Legs" fitting on to sides 2 or 3 of the White Album (thinking in terms of the double LP); "Heart Of the Country" being on Yellow Submarine; "Dear Boy" being on Magical Mystery Tour and so on.  Perhaps, there's even a hint in the credits why this may be so.  Taking the contributions of Paul and Linda for granted, it might have been coincidence, but they are joined by a drummer (Denny Seiwell) and two guitarists (David Spinozza and Hugh McCracken).  That sounds like a rather familiar musical line up even without the qualification that Hugh McCracken can boast both slide guitar (George) and harmonica (John) amongst his credits on his many outings in a jazz-fusion context (try Tom Scott's "New York Connection" as a prime example).
