The Beatles Top 60 Solo Songs: #40: “Heart Of The Country”- Paul McCartney. The first song on side 2 of Paul McCartney’s excellent Ram album- ‘Heart Of The Country” is listed as being written by Paul & Linda McCartney. In the early 70’s after The Beatles break-up Paul and Linda were spending a lot of time at their farm out in the countryside of Scotland- to get away from it all. “Heart Of The Country” was the b-side to ” The Back Seat Of My Car” another Paul song which made the countdown earlier at #47.
