Junior's Farm

Junior's Farm is a song written by Paul McCartney and recorded by Wings.  The song was released in October of 1974.  The recording for this song was done in Nashville Tennessee.  The band was staying at the farm of Curly Putnam Jr. in Nashville when Paul wrote the song. 
The song is a strong rocker, with a great guitar solo provided by Wings new lead guitarist, young Jimmy McCulloch.  The band also had a new drummer, Geoff Britton.  Britton didn't last long, conflicts with McCulloch and founding member Denny Laine eventually drove him out, but at the time the band was flying high.  They were fresh from the success of their album Band on the Run and Junior's Farm would climb the charts all over the world making it to number 3 in the US.  Even the flipside Sally G made it to number 17 on the charts.
Sally G, was also recorded in Nashville and has a definite country feel, compete with violins and steel guitar.  The lyrics are about a love gone wrong in Nashville Tennessee.
