Dave Depper - The Ram Project

Ram was the first album recorded by Paul McCartney after he left The Beatles. Loathed by critics at the time, it's now seen as one of the finest solo records by a former Beatle.

Portland multi-instrumentalist Dave Depper had toured with many of Portland's finest (including The Decemberists) but had never recorded any music of his own. "I was in a rut," Depper explains. "I'd played on and helped produce dozens of different records, but I'd had yet to follow through with completing anything of my own. I knew that I needed to do something - anything - to prove to myself that I was capable of finishing something that I'd started." Lacking an album's worth of his own songs, he decided to take on the craziest project he could think of: re-recording Ram, part by part, at home, all by himself, in 30 days.
