Ringo Beaucoup of Blues

Oh, and by the way: the musicians who played on Ringo's album made a couple of albums as a Group, naming themselves Area Code 615 (Nashville's ac).

Now that you mentioned it...

I found that album a couple of weeks ago, in my local shop. It was in the 3 for $10 bins. I'm quite fortunate to have a couple of shops walking distance with boxes of stuff long forgotten.

It's a great album. I always thought of Ringo as the singer of "Photograph", "It don't come easy" and the now creepy "You're 16" on FM radio. I always liked Ringo's  pop stuff.

bdp24 is the resident R&R musicologist, and always provides cool insight.

Not related, but along with this Ringo score, I found another artist that I've only read about-Don Nix. He wrote one of the most kick ass tunes-"Going Down" which Freddy King and Jeff Beck do justice to.

El Becko- dig the piano unexpected piano intro, which catches everyone by surprise

Definitely worth a listen his Ringo Starr / Ringo album is also a masterpeice with all the Beatles ,Marc Bolan ,Harry Nilsson,Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson ,Garth Hudson,Nicky Hopkins, Martha Reeves ,Merry Clayton -you get the picture.Great songs played immaculately,for me a great post Beatles album

@tablejockey: Don Nix is very cool. He's an Alabama boy, and a great songwriter. I have his album on Elektra Records, recorded in Muscle Shoals with The Swampers (whose members include the great drummer Roger Hawkins and bassist David Hood---his son Patterson is a member of The Drive-By-Truckers), along with Duck Dunn of Booker T & The MG's. Bobby Whitlock (Delaney & Bonnie, Derek & The Dominos) talks about Nix in one of his YouTube videos.

I've never listened to his solo stuff, assuming the worst but I wonder if maybe I've missed out on anything? I mean he was in the beatles.
