Ringo Starr Give More Love Universal, out now

★★★★★ Since the early Seventies, Ringo Starr’s creative method has been a leisurely one: fill the studio with musician friends and bash out a tune, ideally, by his own admission, about ‘peace and love’. Now a rather startling 77, Ringo has just made his 19th record, and he’s not changing any old habits. Paul McCartney, The Eagles’ Joe Walsh and other rock notables chip in. Among some cheery stodge, country amble So Wrong For So Long is the pick of the new stuff, while rerecorded versions of Ringo classics Don’t Pass Me By, Photograph and Back Off Boogaloo add to the peace and love.
