Free Music Notes for Choose Love

Free Music Review: Ringo's "Choose Love" - Excellent! You will enjoy listening to it again and again.
Hit: 5 Stars

This is the first review that I have ever written, but I had to say how much I enjoyed "Choose Love", Ringo Starr's new CD. Every one of the 12 songs is a winner; well done, fun to listen to and leaving the listener feeling upbeat. All songs are original, written by Ringo and his studio band. It's nice to hear new songs with the flavor of the Classic Oldies. I liked to read the page in the CD booklet that gave credit to all the people on the album. This is studio music, tracked, so that for some of the songs one person played more than one musical instrument. Ringo does all the drums and percussion and also plays organ on some tracks. The album is well done, great instrumental background and Ringo in great voice; he hits every note perfectly and you can understand every word that he is singing. You can also hear the sincerity in Ringo's voice.
Even though every track is a winner, I must say that my favorites are the most upbeat "Give Me Back the Beat", the inspiring "Fading In, Fading Out" and the most inspiring "Oh My Lord". If I have one suggested improvement in the album I would like to hear a remix of "Oh My Lord" with the lead guitar less volume and the Rose Stone Choir more volume; this is more a choir song than a lead guitar song.
My conclusion: "Choose Love" - It is worth listening to again and again; great album!

Don't expect a major artistic statement, but if you're one of the many who enjoy Ringo Starr's brand of bouncy, good-natured, All-Starr band pop, Choose Love won't disappoint. Granted, the songs (true to the title, mostly about love) break no new ground, lyrically or musically, but Ringo's in exceptionally good voice throughout and Mark Hudson's production--a mix of Magical Mystery Tour-era Beatles, a good helping of Traveling Wilburys, and a bit of rockabilly--is well suited to the tracks. High points are the shuffle of "Give Me Back the Beat"; the 12-string jangle of "I Do"; the circus psychedelia of the Chrissie Hynde duet, "Don't Hang Up"; and the entirely sincere "Oh My Lord," which, featuring Billy Preston on organ, Robert Randolph on wailing steel, and the Rose Stone Gospel Choir, is a page right out of the Quiet Beatle's songbook (in fact, Ringo considers it his "My Sweet Lord" and played Olivia Harrison an early demo because he felt "George would have loved it"). The Beatles aesthetic is all over Choose Love, and, with a few exceptions ("The Long and Winding Road is more than a song / Tomorrow Never Knows What Goes On"), it's all for the best. Ringo fans will be delighted and listeners to oldies stations may have a new item for their wish lists. --Benjamin Lukoff
