Paul McCartney's second album with his new band Wings (consisting of himself, his wife Linda, ex-Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine, and drummer Denny Seiwell) was a far more polished recording than Wings' low-key 1971 debut, WILDLIFE. Recorded at several sessions between 1971 and 1973, RED ROSE SPEEDWAY found McCartney rebuilding his reputation as a major rock artist. The album featured his biggest solo hit to date, "My Love" (a romantic rock ballad that rocketed him back to the top of the charts), as well as forceful rockers like the opening track, "Big Barn Bed," and plenty of winsome, McCartneyesque pop confections like "One Last Kiss."
A strong album in its original form, RED ROSE SPEEDWAY has since been augmented with three excellent bonus tracks, including "The Mess," a stomping guitar-driven rocker from Wings' 1972 European tour, and "Country Dreamer," a charming, country-tinged pop song that was previously only available as a long out-of-print single.Paul McCartney's second album with his new band Wings (consisting of himself, his wife Linda, ex-Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine, and drummer Denny Seiwell) was a far more polished recording than Wings' low-key 1971 debut, WILDLIFE.
