Ringo Starr - New Album “What’s My Name” 10/25/19*

Sorry, he doesn't drink alcohol anymore.

 

Everyone needs Ringorama! I only find I need cream after Ringo the 4th's Drowning In The Sea of Love.

 

Those country flavored songs off the last album were superb. My entire family, including my teenage daughter, loves Standing Still. I'd like to see an entire album in that style.

 

The album is almost ready...

PODCAST: Mike Haile with Ringo Starr 08-19-19

 

Ringo should do a country blues album, half covers, half originals. Get T-Bone and some ace Nashville guys. Include a country version of "Nobody Told Me."

Cut a live set at Third Man Records with the group, too.

 

Also, do "Life Begins at 40."

 

I hear album done and ready accept artwork and deciding between names. Announcement should not be far away though

 

Admittedly, this thought crossed my mind too.
Who knows?

 

I am finding that of Ringo's albums released over the last 15 years - the music is far outpacing his Singing - His voice is what it is - but a lot of the music seems to want a more Robust voice throwing down.
I've also noticed that the guitar parts are usually Atypical - especially the leads - of course some exceptions come forward - Were On The Road Again from 2017s Give More Love - You can hear it's Revolver
McCartney era influencing the opening lead - and properly so since McCartney wrote most if not all of the song.

Anyway - it's hard to see what Ringo might bring to a new release.

 

Really!

 

Wrong! Credited "Richard Starkey/Steve Lukather"
Paul only plays bass and sing backing vocals.

 

I personally enjoy the Ringo albums. They are fun and I always find a few songs that I like. I’m happy he is still trying and lively still touring and putting out albums. He remains positive and continues to exude positive thoughts

 

The song was written by Ringo Starr and Steve Lukather.

 

Change it to "Life Begins At 80" and it would be more appropriate next year.

 

I heard that too...on the previous page of this thread as seen below.

 

So it says - But McCartneyisms are all through out that track - and he played more than just Bass too. I think he just let them have it.

 

I always look forward to new Ringo!

 

I just wish he'd ditch the overuse of autotune. I'd enjoy them much more. That's one thing Mark Hudson knew well - how to mask Ringo's weaker vocals with some distortion and effects.

 

Except I felt all of the albums he produced sounded the same. Some would say that is good while others not so much

 

Yup, hold up is also deciding between two album names.

 

Do you have a preference for either one of them?

 

While I do like one over the other, I think the winner will be the same name as a track contained on the album

And I won’t go further than that.

 

True, Hudson's approach was a case of diminished returns. But there hasn't exactly been a wide diversity between Y Not/2012/Postcards/Give More Love, either. Given a choice between the two styles, I'd definitely choose Hudson.
