Album Review: Ringo Starr – Give More Love

 

Ringo Starr, “Give More Love” (UMC)-  This affable character’s capabilities as a solid rock’n’roll drummer always seem to have been criminally under-appreciated but Ringo soldiers on regardless, and the former Beatles’ 19th solo album serves up a generous helping of  the listener friendly  fare which has become his trademark since his former outfit’s sad demise almost half a century ago. The contents were recorded at Ringo’s home studio in sunny California with a glittering coterie of top notch sidemen including Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh and, on two tracks, “Show Me The Way” and “We’re On The Road Again,” his old side-kick Paul McCartney – By Keven Bryan.
