Free Music Review: Shiny side up, rubber side down
Hit: 5 Stars

If you don't enjoy this album on at least a simple musical level, there is seriously something wrong with you, and I'd advise you to quit listening to music altogether, or go back to sitting in a dark basement with headphones blasting Slayer and watching psycho Indonesian horror flicks. This is a phenomenally underrated album not just in ex-Beatledom, but in terms of the bulk of late 60's-early 70's Nashville output, of which Ringo (and Dylan, of which this shares a weird instrumental kinship) was a noticeable part of. Comparing it to other Beatle solo albums (including Ringo's own) is unfair, because it isn't even a part of that family and needs to be taken on its own sunny terms.

Musically, think typical 1970's Nashvillian country, like Kris Kristofferson's "Jesus Was a Capricorn", or John Prine's "Sweet Revenge", or Rita Coolidge, or some JJ Cale, or Waylon's album "The Taker/Tulsa", and Johnny Paycheck singing "She's All I Got". Or even Dick Curless, or Bobby Bare's "High And Dry". Or Loretta Lynn's "You're Looking At Country". Of course, this album features many session players that are also on those classics, so it fits; the mood is everything here, and Ringo's confident but laid-back voice fits the tracks perfectly. The songs themselves really move: "Nashville Jam" could easily have accompanied a chase scene from "W.W. And the Dixie Dancekings". "Loser's Lounge" is a jukebox/truckstop anthem for the ages, playing in a parallel universe where the next 3 tracks are Tom T. Hall, Tammy Wynette, and "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down". The sound of a cigarette machine and a pool table needs to separate "I'd Be Talking All The Time" from "$15 Draw". This album is essential for any fan of the energetic transition from Nashville's classic era into the outlaw years. The Jordanaires are on it. Jerry Reed is on it. Enough said. It's also worth noting, speaking of "mood" that hundreds of alt-country/Americana bands have spent entire careers trying to capture the essence of this album: but no one can come close to the assemblage of hotshot session dudes who made this album during one of Nashville's creative peaks. You can't buy authenticity; this album has it in spades.

Forget about this guy being a former Beatle. Play it on its own terms, preferably on 8-track. Grab yourself a lot lizard and head back in the cab for some red-neckin', and don't forget the Old Milwaukee.
