Wide Prairie Linda McCartney

Wide Prairie is a posthumous album from Linda McCartney comprised of tracks recorded over 25 years compiled by Paul McCartney after Linda's tragic death. The album collects songs recorded with the different configurations of Wings between 1972 and 1980, along with songs recorded in the post Wings period.

Among its 16 tracks are 13 original songs written by Linda and three cover versions. Paul, who produced the album, sings backing vocals and plays a variety of instruments. A personal set of songs, Wide Prairie provides a glimpse into the varied aspects of Linda McCartney, from 'Cow' and 'The White Coated Man', where she stands up for animal rights, to the fun feel of her reggae-inspired 'Seaside Woman'. Lead guitar on the song "The Light Comes from Within" is played by the McCartneys' son, musician/sculptor James McCartney.
