One review praises Linda McCartney’s posthumous album Wide Prairie (1998), a well-produced but uneven collection spanning 1972–1998. It highlights tracks like Appaloosa, The Light Comes From Within, Seaside Woman, Love’s Full Glory, and the curious Oriental Nightfish. The reviewer notes her strengths in spirit and photography, her animal-rights convictions, and acknowledges her limited vocals while still recommending the record.
