Wild Life

Wild Life is the debut studio album by the British-American rock band Wings and the third studio album by Paul McCartney after the break-up of the Beatles. The album was mainly recorded in late July 1971, with additional overdub sessions in September and October, at EMI Studios in London. The line-up consisted of McCartney, his wife Linda, session drummer Denny Seiwell, whom the duo had worked with on their previous album Ram, and guitarist Denny Laine, formerly of the English rock band the Moody Blues. Paul McCartney's goal for the album was to record the songs quickly, in a few takes and with minimal overdubs. The album features a mix of rock songs and ballads. It includes a reggae cover of the 1957 Mickey & Sylvia song "Love Is Strange" and "Dear Friend", McCartney's attempt at reconciliation with his former bandmate John Lennon. The album cover was shot by Barry Lategan in Osterley Park, West London, and depicts the band members in a country creek. Originally scheduled for release in November 1971, Wild Life's release was delayed to early December after an LP disc label dispute with Apple Records. Wild Life was one of McCartney's least commercially successful albums.
