I have always thought of this song as Linda's fantasy. Her passion for horses and riding started as a young girl and remained with her all her life. Her tongue in cheek attitude and what we caller her "twangy" voice combined to make this joyful little rocker. She recorded it during sessions at EMI studios in Paris where years before I had done a vocal for Can't Buy Me Love. We travelled there shortly after Princess Anne's first wedding in Westminster Abbey, taking the group van with the other band members who at the time included Jimmy McCullouch and Denny Laine. As you can probably hear we had a ball.Linda McCartneyLead vocals, Mellotron, Backing vocals Paul McCartney: Bass, Piano, Rhodes, Electric organ, Backing vocals Jimmy McCulloch: Electric guitar Denny Laine: Acoustic guitar Davey Lutton: Drums Vasser Clements and Johnny Gimble: Fiddles Thaddeus Richard: Alto sax Hewlett Quillen: Trombone William Puett: Tenor sax George Tidwell and Barry McDonald: Trumpets Norman Ray: Baritone sax Produced by Paul McCartney Recorded 20/11/73 EMI Odeon, Paris France and 6/75 Soundshop, Nashville, Tennessee Engineer:Geoff Emerick and Ernie Winfrey

Linda's and my involvement with animal rights caused her and our friend Carla Lane to come up with The White Coated Man. Carla's poignant lyric explores the vivisection issue.

Linda felt deeply about the suffering of innocent animals for mankind's gain, which still continues to this day and will until we can as a society show compassion towards the creatures we share our planet with.Linda McCartney: Lead vocals, Casio keyboard Paul McCartney: Hofner bass, Emulator strings, Drums, Electric guitar Robbie McIntosh: Electric guitar Steve Johnson: Synth strings, Trumpet, Bass kurzweil Carla Lane: Spoken verse Produced by Paul McCartney Recorded 21/3/88 Hog Hill, Sussex, England and 18/7/89 Can Am Recorders Inc California, USA Engineers: Eddie Klein, John Hammel and Alvin Clark
