Music reviews of Red Rose Speedway
Music Review: It just not quite there...
Rating: 2 Stars
Ya know... I've just now listened to this album for the first time in over twenty years. I have always wanted to like it and I almost do. The musicianship is top-notch, the arrangements are bold and daring, and the production is absolutely first-rate. The problem is the LYRICS. Paul has taken really really strong arrangements and has chosen to sing the most inane and weak lyrics on top of them. Whereas "Band on the Run" has great-sounding lyrics, there is just no redeeming lyrical value to this album. That is the difference. Great songs with weak lyrics that really detract from the total package.
Sleeping on a big barn bed, lazy dyanamite, my love does it good, power cut (which must mean a loss of electrical power...
Baby I love you so
be I love you so
Baby I love you so
Baby I love you so
be I love you so
be I love you so ....
Description of Red Rose Speedway
Digitally remastered Japanese reissue of their top 10 1973 album in a miniaturized gatefold LP sleeve limited to the initial pressing only. Nine tracks, including the #1 smash 'My Love'. 1999 release.You could trawl the rock & roll archives all the way back to the start and never find an album quite like Red Rose Speedway. Which is not to say that it's great. Just that it's... weird. Though it's a Wings album, it's entirely irradiated with Paul McCartney's personality--to the extent that virtually the entire band left him while attempting to rehearse for the supporting tour, claiming they couldn't operate in his huge, overbearing shadow. You can see where they were coming from. Red Rose Speedway, right down to the cover shot of Macca with a rose in his mouth, is about Paul McCartney, specifically his unique ability in the '70s to pump up slight, pretty songs to the scale of "Hey Jude," seemingly unaware or unworried that that didn't necessarily make them as good as "Hey Jude." The high spot is the saccharine sauciness of "My Love," a lurching soft-focus ballad about his wife's sexual excellence. The rest of it--lazy, lushly produced rock, sometimes sweet, sometimes just cloying, but always unmistakably Macca--is worth hearing if just to ponder: "What the hell did he think he was doing?" --Taylor Parkes
