When this recording was first issued many reviews were negative. True, it might not be as good as "Ram" but it has several charming tracks that need to be heard if you are a Beatles/McCartney fan. The first two songs on this record are ones I want to get out of the way quickly. "Big Barn Bed" is an over the top piece of typical PM fluff that rankles the life out of me. It is the "Monkberry Moon Delight" of this record, if you know what I mean. Truly it is a load of tripe but then so is the next track "My Love", or as I like to call it "Woh, Woh, Woh, Woh", but for different reasons. This one has my vote as the most bland and perfunctory piece of refuse ever created by Paul. (Okay, okay, maybe it’s not quite that bad. I’ve just heard it 5000 too many times.) I actually recommend you skip these first two to get to the good stuff because from here the LP takes a decisive turn for the better and we get one quality song after another. "Get On The Right Thing" is a strong song that would have been a great single, ditto for "One More Kiss" and then there's "Little Lamb Dragonfly" perhaps my favorite track of all here. Side two opens with the delightful "Single Pigeon" and then there's yet another strong song in "When The Night". From here it the quality dips a little bit but this is a Paul McCartney/Wings record well worth owning. The critics unfairly maligned it. Unlike his previous offering “Wild Life”, this wasn’t thrown together at the last minute. You can tell he took his time and put in a valiant effort. Some reviewers have had the audacity to say "Wild Life" was better. Sometimes wax builds up in the ears. I don’t know how else to explain it. "Red Rose Speedway" isn't his finest outing but it is a definite winner and one I like to listen to as often as I can.
