Little Lamb Dragonfly - Paul McCartney & Wings (1973)

Little Lamb Dragonfly was released on Red Rose Speedway in the spring of 1973. This was Paul’s 2nd album with his new band, Wings. He’d previously released his first solo album billed simply McCartney and then his 2nd album (Ram) billed to Paul & Linda McCartney and then his first album album billed to Paul McCartney & Wings, I like to keep it simple with is his 4th solo record period (only Denny Laine’s contributions come close to deserving recognition as anything other than of course to even come close with McCartney was a serious achievement!). What can you say about McCartney’s albums? I’ll simply repeat what I’ve stated in descriptions for other single album he ever recorded was special, there were the inevitable hits (except for there should have been one or two?) and then there were some throwaways, but there were always several underrated it was all McCartney! ....and that’s what made each one special. “Little Lamb Dragonfly“ was one of two tunes originally recorded during the Ram sessions (the other being “Get On The Right Thing“) that was eventually released on the Red Rose Speedway , this song really sounds like it belongs on Ram to me! I stumbled into the video for “Little Lamb Dragonfly“ by pure accident as I was searching images for George Harrison’s “Mystical One“, I came across a dragonfly image and immediately realized I could do a quick video for this song. This tune might not be my favorite from Red Rose Speedway, and I always think of doing “When The Night“ or “Single Pigeon“ whenever I think of this album, but it’s a really one of those tunes that only Paul McCartney could ever have to give it a shot. (As I was messing with this one, I thought of a concept and realized that I might be able to do something with the structured & sectioned rhythm of “Medley: Hold Me Tight/Lazy Dynamite/Hands of Love/Power Cut“, saved the album art to incorporate into that one then, as usual, hope you enjoy the effort.
