Music reviews of Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo Starr (CD & DVD)
Music Review: Ringo sells his songs without even trying--and that's no small feat !!!
Rating: 5 Stars
Ringo Starr possesses that rare talent for making excellent, poignant and timely music throughout a lifetime; although "celebrities" in music come and go Ringo's talent always made him a titan in the music industry. Ringo's fans can rejoice that this excellent CD/DVD package has finally been released. And what a package it is! We get twenty songs and a bonus DVD with several videos some of which appear more professionally made than others. Nevertheless, it's all five star quality!!!
The CD starts with Ringo's earlier hits; we get the stunning "Photograph" by Ringo and George Harrison; the guitars work wonders for this arrangement and Ringo sings beautifully with a chorus and George himself doing backup vocals. Beautiful! "It Don't Come Easy" is easily another Ringo masterpiece; the guitar intro shines and Ringo delivers "It Don't Come Easy" without a superfluous note. "You're Sixteen (You're Beautiful And You're Mine)" remains an excellent, strong cover with brilliant vocals backup by Harry Nilsson. Awesome!
Ringo does a great job with John Lennon's "I'm The Greatest." Listen for John on harmony vocals, too. The key changes on "I'm The Greatest" bolster this number as well. "Only You (And You Alone)" give us Ringo doing another cover, this time of a song by The Platters. Ringo shows off his great vocal range with this tune; and the melody touches me with its beauty. "Only You (And You Alone)," in Ringo's competent care, becomes one of the most beautiful love ballads I've ever heard.
"Early 1970" features Ringo singing of the breakup of The Beatles; what an awesome arrangement! "No-No Song" gives us an excellent tune by Ringo about saying no to drugs; "No-No Song" showcases Ringo rocking sweet and soft to make this one h*** of a song! "A Dose Of Rock 'N' Roll" switches gears; this tune rocks a little harder despite its 1950s beat--and it has one terrific chorus!
"Never Without You" stuns me with its beauty as Ringo sings passionately of his late buddy, George Harrison. The melody can't be beat; and this song lets Ringo express his pain over losing his buddy to cancer. Listen for Eric Clapton to do a sublime guitar solo on "Never Without You," too!
The CD ends with "Fading In And Out," a pensive, reflective ballad with a melody that provides a strong ending for this album. Great drums and percussion, too!
But the DVD has more! We get great videos of "It Don't Come Easy;" "Back Off Boogaloo;" "You're Sixteen (You're Beautiful And You're Mine)" and more! A few patches look like home movies more than a professional video; but it's fascinating and enjoyable to watch.
The liner notes are loaded with great artwork; and we get the song chart top positions and dates, too. We also get the song credits and the names of the people who performed with Ringo on each number.
To state that Ringo Starr is a genius is an understatement. Ringo possesses a natural ability to create timeless and ageless music about love and life, happiness and sorrow. I highly recommend this for Ringo fans as well as anyone who wants to hear some of the best music anyone ever released over the last few decades.
Enjoy!
