Like slipping on an old pair of shoes, Ringo returns with his first new album in 3 years.<\/p>\n
Calling on his all-star band, Ringo\u2019s 18th<\/sup> solo album treads a well-worn path. The opening track, Rory and the Hurricanes<\/em>, is an autobiographical reminiscence of his pre-Beatles band, whilst Bridges<\/em> harks back to a later period of sitar – laden psychedelia.<\/p>\n The album features some stellar musicians, but it\u2019s a shame that they didn\u2019t have more memorable material to work with, as the rest of the album drifts along as mid-tempo AOR with no particular standout tracks. A rather predictable record \u2013 if you like Ringo, it\u2019s what you\u2019d hope for, if not, then this album won\u2019t convince you otherwise.<\/p>\n 5\/10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This review was published in the May 2015 issue of Classic Rock magazine, no. 209. – Like slipping on an old pair of shoes, Ringo returns with his first new album in 3 years.
