Recording information: Apple Studios, London, England; Sunset Sound, Los Angeles, California (1973). 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.

Here is the 1st Beatles Reunion!Review created: 06/29/04 by: scapp70 -- a member of Epinions Pros: It's The Bloody Beatles! Cons: Devil Woman, Vini Poncia That's right folks, way back in the Summer of 1973; The Beatles had all appeared on one album. This album is called Ringo. They all written and contributed songs, they are all on the front cover artwork; this is a Beatles reunion in almost every sense of the word. To be a true Beatles reunion, you need one very small but important event to take place, Paul Review ID: 10000000000234337 Now that's what I call (shameless) entertainment!!Review created: 10/04/04 by: ilash -- a member of Epinions Pros: Pretty much entertaining from beginning to end. Cons: It is rather lightweight though. The dissolution for the Beatles in 1970 meant different things for the four lads from Liverpool whom together forever changed the face of pop music. For one it meant a freedom to explore more personal and political areas with his music while another used the opportunity to escape the shadow of the world s most renowned songwriting partnership and went on to release rock and roll s most spiritual album. For yet another it meant a chance to continue the spirit of experimentalism and melodic inventiveness that was such a pivotal part of the Beatles best work but under his own terms. For the last.
