Principally recorded at Sunset Sound, Los Angeles, California and Apple Studios, London, England between February, 1970 and September, 1973. Originally released on Apple (3413). Includes liner notes by Staffan Olander.
RINGO, the Fab Four skin-pounder's third solo album, is widely regarded as his finest, due to the happy synchronicity of good songs, good production, and a first-class batch of musicians all coming together in a thoughtful but organic manner. For one thing, George Harrison and "fifth Beatle" Billy Preston are all over this album, as are superdrummer Jim Keltner (Ringo's not too egotistical to share the drum throne) and most of The Band.
Ringo also gets considerable compositional assists from his old mates; Harrison co-wrote the impossibly infectious (and somewhat Badfinger-esque) "Photograph," among others, and Lennon contributes the album's opener, the brash, ironic "I'm the Greatest." Ringo's personable, unassuming vocal style makes a perfect match for Randy Newman's early classic "Have You Seen My Baby." Aided by the popwise but Ringo-friendly production of Richard Perry, our boy makes a convincing case for his way with '50s-style material on "You're Sixteen." "You're Sixteen," "Oh My My," and "Photograph" were all Top 10 hits, which made RINGO the commercial apex of the drummer's solo career.

Ringo Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Early Ringo at his finest
This is Ringo at his finest. From a few soft ballads to harder rock. Even a song about his old bandmates. It's amazing that no power on earth would re-unite the band, but he had contributions from John, George, and Paul, on this album. There touch can be heard on the individual tracks they helped on. A very good effort.

Ringo`s best
This is by far the best album by Ringo. With a little help from his friends, with contributions from John,Paul,George,Marc Bolan, Billy Preston, Harry Nilsson plus all The Band members and many more!!
A lot of strong tracks: the two singles from the album 'Photograph' and 'You`re Sixteen' most people know, but take the time to listen to the others and you will enjoy them. The track 'I`m the greatest' also has the nearest we came to a Beatles reunion, with John, George and Ringo all performing. Bonus tracks as well, make this very good value. Highly recommended.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Best Ringo solo album
This is the best Ringo solo album as far as I know. It has "Photograph," "I'm The Greatest," "Sixteen," and "It Don't Come Easy," four of his best non-Beatles songs. I was surprised how good it is.
Very orchestrated if you like that.

Ringo album
 $9.45   
Released in September 1970, BEAUCOUPS OF BLUES was a huge improvement over Ringo Starr's somewhat awkward solo debut, SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY. Though the pure country music on BEAUCOUPS OF BLUES was presumably quite foreign to most Beatles fans in 1970, in hindsight, this is a fine country-rock album. While Ringo's deadpan voice seemed limited when compared to the voices of his fellow Beatles, it is perfectly suited to the simple melodies and down-to-earth lyrical concerns of the rock-oriented country songs he performs on this album.
Backed by top Nashville musicians like pedal steel guitarist Pete Drake, Charlie Daniels, and several members of Elvis Presley's band, Ringo wrings every ounce of emotion out of such compelling country noir narratives as "Love Don't Last Long" and the Vietnam-era heartbreaker "Silent Homecoming." With BEAUCOUPS OF BLUES, Ringo made a raw, real country-rock album that fits alongside anything Gram Parsons and Mike Nesmith were doing at that time. It remains one of Ringo's finest solo albums.

| | Ringo Starr Goodnight Vienna CD (1974)
Ringo CD music
$9.79 
Principally recorded at Sunset Studios and The Producers Workshop, Los Angeles, California in the summer of 1974. Includes liner notes by Staffan Olander.
Ringo-shy Beatles fans needn't fear, GOODNIGHT VIENNA is one of Starr's most solid efforts, full of infectious pop ditties that benefit from the bejeweled one's amiable delivery. On a par with the self-titled album that is Ringo's milestone, this one finds him tackling tuneful, light-hearted ditties with the kind of quasi-music hall backing that is the hallmark of the drummer/vocalist's best solo work. Though one of the finest moments is a durable cover of Roger Miller's slippery country classic "Husbands and Wives," Ringo scored major hits with two other VIENNA tunes. "Back Off Boogaloo" is wacky and charming, with an irresistible, semi-martial beat, and the anti-drug "No No Song" (written by Hoyt Axton) is impossible not to sing along with.

| | Ringo Starr Sentimental Journey CD (1970)
Ringo music CDs
$9.69
Even though Ringo warned fans and critics by stating that SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY was an album that he "made for his mum," few people expected the Beatles' drummer to release an album of schmaltzy pop standards from the 40's and 50's. While it takes a few moments to adjust to hearing the voice that sang "Yellow Submarine" and "With A Little Help From My Friends" tackle such songs as "Sentimental Journey" and "Bye, Bye Blackbird," Ringo's warm, engaging voice makes this album work. Featuring tasteful arrangements by Paul McCartney, Beatles producer George Martin and others, SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY is a friendly, laid-back pop album that has even gained some retrospective charm in light of the late-'90s resurgence of lounge music.

| | Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Ringo album
$6.75  
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting tricks up his sleeve, as in the over-the-top phasing he lavishes on "You Don't Love Me." The only real disappointment here is that Stills, a far better singer than Kooper, never opens his mouth.
Those familiar with the Live Adventures album these two recorded at the Fillmore West know how brilliant they could be on stage, and here's another gem, recorded at the Fillmore East this time and featuring 'One Way Out,' 'It's My Own Fault' (with Bloomfield trading licks with Johnny Winter...Johnny was signed to Columbia after this gig!). Newly remastered & now with 4 bonus tracks, 'Albert's Shuffle' (2002 Remix w/o Horns), 'Season of the Witch.' (2002 Remix w/o Horns), 'Blues For Nothing' (Studio Outtake) & 'Fat Grey Cloud' Previously Unreleased Live Track). Features 12-page booklet with unpublished photos from the recording session, new liner notes by Al Kooper & the Rolling Stone Hall Of Fame review by David Fricke. 60 scintillating minutes! 13 tracks. Colunbia/Legacy. 2003.
Includes liner notes by Al Kooper, Michael Thomas.

Roddy's harmonica and vocal work is up to snuff on this cheerful set, though the production seems on the thin side, giving the end result a sense of lacking a little in energy. Other than that, though, good-time entertainment. ~ Steven McDonald

| | Time Machine: A Vertigo Retrospective CDs (2005)
Ringo CD music
$27.79
The sheer collectibility of anything on the Vertigo label is one of those peculiar quirks that few people, collectors included, can truly quantify. True, Vertigo was blessed with one of the most compulsive label designs ever devised: a black-and-white swirl that can, indeed, induce vertigo in anyone who looks at it for too long. True, too, the label prided itself in giving voice to talents who might otherwise never have been heard, and wrapped almost every Vertigo album in the kind of ambitious packaging normally reserved for supergroup concept conceits. And one can also be impressed by the label's insistence on defying even the most remote limits of the period's (the early '70s) commercialism, with a clutch of albums that seriously could not have been expected to sell more than a handful of copies apiece. But it is astonishingly unlikely that any single set of ears can truly take as much pleasure from, say, the first album by Affinity as they do the second by Black Sabbath, or who could slip from Keith Tippett to Jade Warrior without undergoing some kind of major cultural dislocation. Which means, of course, that there are a lot of unplayed LPs lying within any sizable Vertigo collection -- and a lot of tracks on this collection that will have you reaching for the fast-forward button after less than a minute. Persevere! Although the three CDs here certainly wander across the Vertigo show, the compilers have done a masterful job. Eschewing some of the more defiantly outré contributions to the catalog (mainly the seriously jazz/freeform-shaped ones), Time Machine instead portrays a label that cared dearly for what modern ears would term the "cutting edge" of the early-'70s British prog-folk-post-psych circuit: Colosseum, Juicy Lucy, Clear Blue Sky, Warhorse, and Doctor Z are all here, cut through with a few glimmers of genuine chartbusting inspiration -- Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Alex Harvey, Rod Stewart. Inasmuch as most Vertigo albums are now considered rare (reissues from the likes of Akarma and Repertoire notwithstanding), Time Machine is most readily likened to a glimpse inside the most fabulous bank vault in British rock history. But it is also a reminder of a time when the new release sheets were not put together by money-mad automatons, all hoping to make the next round of American Idol. Most of these guys wouldn't even have made the qualifiers for Hit Me One More Time, and more power to them for that. ~ Dave Thompson
Three CD box set. Time Machine is a fascinating look at a equally fascinating time in music, containing 41 tracks from the first golden age of the Vertigo label including rare and classic tracks from the likes of Aphrodite's Child, Black Sabbath, Colosseum, Gentle Giant, Jade Warrior and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Also contains a 48-Page Booklet containing biogs, rare photographs and exclusive interviews. Whether you are a fine of Psychedelia or Prog Rock, there's something here to excite your senses.

| | T Rex Born To Boogie CDs (2005)
Ringo music CDs
$17.09
This double-disc set is something of a holy grail for T. Rex fanatics. Both discs contain music from BORN TO BOOGIE, a film about T. Rex frontman Marc Bolan made by Ringo Starr in 1972. The film was considered lost until 2003, when old prints where found and painstakingly restored. This expanded CD reissue covers the music from the original film, as well as additional material, including excerpts from concerts recorded at Wembley stadium, and a BBC interview with Bolan from 1971.
Bolan is backed here by his crack band, and by Ringo and Elton John (both of whom are professed T. Rex fans). The playlist includes many of his finest tunes: the rollicking "Jeepster," the slinky bounce of "Get It On," and the epic, metaphysical autobiography-in-song "Cosmic Dancer," in addition to fun covers ("Tutti Frutti") and selections of Bolan's poetry. The tapes have been remastered to sparkling effect, and everything here, from Bolan's trademark yelps and moans to the ecstatic screaming of his female fans, is crystal clear. Moreover, BORN TO BOOGIE captures T. Rex at his commercial and artistic apex, and offers a snapshot of the glam superstar in a unique and significant moment in rock & roll history.
