Ringo Starr Anthology

David Fishof put together the All Star Band idea over a decade ago now and the concept has been a massive success. This triple set is essentially the 3 Live albums that have been previously released and a few bonus tracks thrown in for good measure. The quality of the recording is first class and the presentation great (especially when you look at the price) with a very nice booklet that actually gives some good details about the band and concept. What ever is said about Ringos musical efforts he has still come up with some of the best Beatle solo efforts (listen to Ringo (1973), Stop & Smell The Roses (1981), Time Takes Time (1992), Vertical Man (1998) and VH1 Storytellers (1998)). When you listen to Ringo Live there is no doubt that of all the Beatles he enjoys the music more than any of them and it shows when you listen to this CD set. Of course this album isn't just Ringo, it's stuffed with classic artists such as Joe Walsh (Eagles), Eric Carmen (All by himself) and Dr. John to name but a few. If you haven't had the chance to see one of these shows in the flesh then treat yourself to this set, you won't find a better value for money album than this anywhere.
