Free Music Notes for Ringo Starr: Choose Love
Free Music Review: Step aside... here is a Master work. RINGO at more than his best.
Hit: 5 Stars
WOW! RINGO does not disappoint! Ringo can still rock as well as he did during the Abbey years. Since 1992 Ringo has been putting out a series of most excellent CDs; RINGO RAMA, VERTICAL MAN, and TIME TAKES TIME, and now comes CHOOSE LOVE. With each release comes an ever improving sound. These works have been among the best post Beatles albums by either John, Paul, George, and Ringo. It was thought that RINGO RAMA could not be beat for professional sound, quality, and diversity. That assumption was wrong. CHOOSE LOVE is in the top three of all the Fab Four's post Beatle's releases.
The title song (CHOOSE LOVE), OH MY LORD, FADE IN FADE OUT, GIVE ME BACK THE BEAT, SOME PEOPLE, ME AND YOU, THE TURNAROUND, FREE DRINKS, and DON'T HANG UP are all five star songs. The other two are fours.
OH MY LORD is as great of a spiritual work as "I Want to Know What Love Is" by Foreigner. Foreigner's song ranked #1 by Billboard for two weeks. Yet, OH MY LORD has yet to be released as a single. Why?
CHOOSE LOVE has a rocking beat that make you want to get up and dance. Mark, Steve, Gary, Dan, and Ringo play together in this tune with the precision of pure musical masters.
Chrissie Hynde and Ringo sing like they have been singing together for years in DON'T HANG UP. The funny lyrics can be heard over and over again.
FREE DRINKS is very comfortable bouncy drinking song. The western / coastal guitar sound shows the diversity in this collection of songs.
Ringo has put together a very talented group; Gary Burr, Mark Hudson, Dean Grakal, and Steve Dudas. This is the third consecutive album that they have worked together. He would be wise to keep them around for more CD releases, and even a tour. Not a ALL STAR tour like he has been doing. Rather, they should tour as a Ringo Starr band. This would give more people a chance to appreciate their collective work.
More than Beatle and Ringo fans will enjoy the collection of songs on CHOOSE LOVE.

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 Solo Beatles Recommendations
