Paul McCartney & Wings ~ Arrow Through Me You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

"Arrow Through Me" is Back To The Egg's finest track and Wings' last gasp. McCartney and ensemble rocked harder on this album , but the lyrics were of very poor quality and felt rushed. | |

I don't really pay attention to lyrics, so that's not a factor if I like a song or not. That's why I can listen to non English music and don't know what they're singing about.

I've had this on vinyl for a long time. Heard this song on the org first! Then Erykah Badu flipped it.
I bought Back To The Egg again remastered on CD very recently, because it is that dope. | |

Wow! I totally forgot about this song and loved it when it came out! Thanks for the reminder!

Yeah I always felt that the album was a huge swing and a miss. It starts out great, but the songs are pretty crappy. My Legacy
