New Ringo Album in May
It now seems that the new Ringo Starr album that we reported on a few weeks ago will be released on May 8th. On it’s pre-order page, Amazon.com lists the CD title as “Live From Chicago II: 2001″
However the Rock Radio website describes the album as being the soundtrack to a 2005 Soundstage concert aired on PBS. The show, which was taped on June 24th, 2005 in the Chicago suburb of Waukegan, Illinois, features such Beatles classics as “With A Little Help From My Friends,” “Act Naturally,” “Octopus’ Garden,” “I Wanna Be Your Man,” “Don’t Pass Me By,” and “Yellow Submarine.”
Also featured on the set are solo favorites including “Photograph,” “It Don’t Come Easy,” “Back Off Boogaloo,” “I’m The Greatest,” and more recent material such as “Choose Love,” “Give Me Back The Beat,” and “Memphis In Your Mind.” The album also features a cameo by Men At Work frontman and All Starr Band alumnus Colin Hay, who performs “Who Can It Be Now.”
