built 814 days ago
This was the first step in reviving Ringo's career after a long hiatus. It documented the first of what became a long series of tours. Like the later ones, this outing featured a massive lineup of rock stars who mostly made their names during the 70s: Rick Danko and Levon Helm of the Band (the other one - and yeah, they do sing "The Weight"); Dr. John; Nils Lofgren; Billy Preston; and Joe Walsh, who does "Life In The Fast Lane."

This must have been eagerly awaited after Ringo's unexpected successes on his eponymous record of the previous year, and it did well in the charts. Ringo's first two singles from this record ... sold strongly, hitting the Top Ten: "Only You," and "No No Song." The later-released "It's All Down To Goodnight Vienna" was also a Top 40 hit. And there's also some star power here: Elton John donated the tune "Snookeroo" and also made a guest appearance on it. (JA)

A source said: "Ringo's work as a solo artist has never been taken as seriously as the other ex-Beatles but he's actually enjoyed a lot of success in his own right, particularly in America. It's hard to imagine, but there was even a point in the 70s when his records were briefly outselling those of John, George and Paul."
