The effect of "Ringo" is different than the other classic solo stuff by the other Lads...."Ringo" is never concerned with making any kind of 'statement', other than having a fun time working with his famous friends. It's just a collection of songs, but a GREAT collection....with the aforementioned contributions from J, P & G...among the luminaries making appearances on this record: J, P & G, Billy Preston, most of the members of The Band, Harry Nilsson, Steve Cropper, Marc Bolan, Nicky Hopkins and Bobby Keys. Having said that, this album clearly belongs to Ringo, and he is in fine voice here. It's really nice to see how much George Harrison did on "Ringo"....the two 'others'.
If I were to recommend one Ringo album, this one is head and shoulders the winner....of course, Ringo has released some dang fine material since 1992, so folks might want to check out "Time Takes Time" or "Vertical Man", both good albums.
