| Review: Ex-Beatle longs for Liverpool on new album Ringo 2012 |
One look in the mirror was all it took for ex-Beatle Ringo Starr to find the best producer for his 17th solo record, "Ringo 2012," Starr claims.

| Review: Ringo Starr is back, but not better in Ringo 2012 |
Back in 1973, Ringo Starr released "Ringo," which featured appearances from all of his former bandmates and which remains the signal work of his solo career. "Ringo 2012" is meant to induce nostalgia for "Ringo" and for Ringo, a musician of limited range and endless charm who doesn't have to do much except show up and pound the skins.

| Review: First single from Ringo 2012 |
Ringo Starr exposes his own Achilles heel on his first single from Ringo 2012. The track Wings is a less passionate, border-line lifeless vocal performance of a previously released song from the 1977 Ringo the 4th album, and the singer is drowned out for much of the three-and-a-half minute track.
