Good old Ringo offers up bright shiny jangly rocking tunes with his band the Roundheads. You know, even the sad tunes are happy. Starr is just such a likeable dweeb. A marching band thread runs through a lot of these multi-instrumentalized tunes, which are all about love love love, a subject that Starr actually manages to make quite amusing at times, with clever Brit wit. Of course, a whole album on the subject can get a bit cloying. It’s “rocking” (say it with a British accent), rather than “rock,” and Starr maintains his deep deep deep Beatles roots, as he’s always done. It’s just who he is. His drumming, of course, is solid as ever. Chrissie Hynde puts in an appearance, as does Billy Preston.
