Wild Life (1971)

1. Mumbo
Quite often we ruminate over the fine albums over the years; from the classic, polished lyrics of Dylan, the incredible vocal talents of Nilsson, to the stunning musical genius of Bjorn/Benny, Elton, King and Goffin.

And then there's this.

Wing's first album starts off with a song aptly titled "Mumbo". It rocks along, surely enough, complete with nonsense lyrics that is a whole lot of "mumbo".
Rating: 6/10

2. Bip Bop
There's a lot of criticism directed at "Bip Bop". Just take it as it is.
Rating: 5/10

3. Love Is Strange
Good one. Nothing earth shattering on this cover.
Rating: 5.5/10

4. Wild Life
Probably the best on the album, "Wild Life" is one of the more forgotten McCartney tracks.
Rating: 7/10

5. Some People Never Know
Ok track. Nice melody.
Rating: 6/10

6. I Am Your Singer
I've always been a fan of Linda's. I like her vocals here. Cute song.
Rating: 6/10

7. Bip Bop (Link)
Short and sweet. Interesting
Rating: 4/10

8. Tomorrow
I hope the weather man is feeling fine and doesn't spoil his plans to write more insightful lyrics on his next album. Perhaps he could bring a bag of bread and cheese and find a spot beneath the (hang on, what rhymes with "cheese"? Oh yeah...) trees... and yes, write something more profound. Catchy tune though.
Rating: 6/10

9. Dear Friend
Dear Lennon, really truly, young and newly. Is this really the borderline?
Rating: 4/10

10. Mumbo Link
No, it doesn't get much better without the lyrics.
Rating: 4/10
