Ringo Starr established his reputation on the Merseybeat circuit as the world's number one drummer when he became acquainted with the Beatles, and having established a lively rapport with three of the group, became the natural successor to Pete Best. Ringo - a name derived from his many finger adornments - offered a simple, uncluttered playing style which formed the ideal bedrock for his partners' sense of melody. His solo recording career started with Sentimental Journey, a collection of standards, and 'Beaucoups Of Blues', a country selection recorded in Nashville. Starr's debut single, 'It Don't Come Easy', co-written with George Harrison, topped the US charts while the same pair also created 'Back Off Boogaloo' and 'Photograph'. Ringo featured songs and contributions from each of his former colleagues, although none were recorded together. 'You're Sixteen' topped the US chart in 1974, but despite further success with 'Oh My My', 'Only You (And You Alone)' and 'The No No Song', momentum then waned. This album features the aforementioned songs, plus the album debut of the B-side 'Early 1970' and the track 'I'm The Greatest' which included the final collaboration of Ringo with John and George assisted by Klaus Voorman and Billy Preston. First issued in November 1975, 'Blast From Your Past' was the last album to ever be released by Apple records in America and the U.K. during the label's original run, until that label's triumphant return in the 90's. This is classic material that showcases Ringo during the peak of his solo popularity in the early 70's. Yes, he was a great drummer, but he could also sing, too.Read full review
Blast From My Past I hadn't heard this particular CD in many years, even though I've heard these songs on different cds before. To listen to this cd brought back a lot of memories. It's good, fun music to listen to.
