RINGO STARR "stop and smell the roses" vinyl, 1981
his eighth,
the first Ringo album i purchased....
i dont know what to say thats different from the previous posts...
half of the album is likable, the rest is drivel...
even the likes of Paul, George, Nilsson, Ronnie Wood and Stills writing songs for him cant save it with the three covers....
best song (but not by a country mile this time, just a regular mile) is the Harrison penned "wrack my brain" which in itself feels like an acceptable follow on from his one "crackerbox palace" a few years earlier.
Lennon had recorded a song called "nobody told me" which he was supposed to present and record with Ringo in January of 1981, but we all remember the events that unfolded in early December 1980 and Ringo never got to record the song.
all up another typical Ringo Starr album
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
