Previous posts:;;. 1973 was as good to the ex-Beatles as 1972 was rough. Paul went to Nigeria and found his mojo, George released his underrated followup to All Things Must Pass, and Ringo finally recorded a rock n roll record and knocked it out of the park.

Only John was having a down year, beginning the drunken odyssey now known as 'The Lost Weekend' — a weekend that lasted eighteen months. The Beatles Solo: 1973 SIDE ONE ● – Paul (5:13) (After a series of critical pastings, Paul was looking to get out of town and chose to record his next album at the EMI studios in Lagos, Nigeria, for no real reason other than that it wasn't as far away as China.

Just before leaving for Africa, two members of the band quit — guitarist Henry McCullough because he was tired of Paul telling him how to play; and Denny Seiwell because he didn't want to make the trip. Rather than the funny, sunny vacation Paul envisioned, Lagos was all rain, biting insects and a mugging at knifepoint. But maybe the unpleasantness gave the sessions some urgency because it was McCartney's best record yet. A #1 hit in the U.S., the title track was stitched together from three song fragments including one based on George Harrison's promise to give away all his possessions if he could escape yet another interminable business meeting. As an ex-lawyer, I feel his pain.) ● – Paul (4:09) (Named for a black lab and rhymed with suffragette for no real reason at all. The first single released from Band on the Run, 'Jet' hit #1 hit in the U.S., #7 in the UK.) ● – John (3:14) (After the critical and commercial failure of Some Time in New York City, Lennon retreated from music and politics for over a year.

He finally returned to the studio, perhaps embarrassed that Yoko had recorded not one but two albums during the break. John later poo-poo'ed the resulting album, Mind Games, but it did make it to #9 in the U.S. I don't mind the heavy reverb Lennon laid on top of the record as much as some critics, but I think the acoustic demo version of this song — which some hear as an apology to McCartney for 'How Do You Sleep,' others as recognition that his marriage to Yoko was falling apart — is clearly superior to the album version. From the John Lennon Anthology box set.) ● – George (2:59) (Overall, I think All Things Must Pass is the best of George's solo albums, but I actually prefer the four songs I've selected from 1973's Living in the Material World to anything on the former.) ● – Ringo (4:17) (Ringo's return to the studio after three years spent making movies.

All four Beatles worked on Ringo, but not all at the same time, the closest they ever got to a reunion. The third single released from the album, 'Oh My My' was a top five hit in the U.S.). SIDE TWO ● – John (4:15) (Originally written as 'Make Love, Not War,' Lennon had grown wary of political sloganeering after the Some Time debacle. You know, you want to be self-conscious enough to work hard, but not so self-conscious you don't work at all. Which somehow reminds me of a post-game conversation Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins had with New England legend Tom Brady yesterday after the Patriots beat-down of the R'Skins. In so many words, Cousins asked him when do you know you've made it, and Brady told him he's still working on it. Which probably explains the four Super Bowl victories.

What, they didn't have auto-correct in 1973? First added to his live shows in 2008 when it topped a Ukranian poll of song requests before a free concert in Kiev.) ● – Ringo (2:48) (An ex-Beatle rides a wave of nostalgia for all things pre-Beatles and scores the biggest hit of his solo career. It's here because it was #1 with a bullet, even outperforming the original by John Burnette, but from the vantage point of 2015, the notion of a 32 year old man singing a song about playing tonsil hockey with a 16 year old girl is creepy as hell.

Not to mention illegal. By the way, that's not a kazoo on the recording, but Paul McCartney vocally imitating a saxophone.) ● – George (2:54) (Harrison had mixed feelings about the Concert for Bangladesh — happy so many people pulled together to make it happen, angry that it had to happen at all, disillusioned by the tax and legal wrangles afterwards. This song came out of that.) ● – Paul (4:51) (McCartney doing his best post-Beatles Lennon imitation, with heavy reverb and lyrics about finding love in the palm of your hand. A playful pastiche, loving spoof, or brutal boot-stomping depending on what your ears hear.). SIDE THREE ● – George (3:38) (A #1 hit in America, knocking Paul's 'My Love' off the top of the charts.) ● – John (3:21) (Lennon later dismissed this as 'nothing special' but I am especially fond of Ken Ascher's piano solo.

Written to celebrate his love for Yoko about ten minutes before she kicked him out of the house for a year and half.) ● – Ringo (3:57) (Another #1 hit for Ringo who was a hit machine there for a while. Anytrans Keygen Mac Os. SIDE FOUR ● – Ringo (3:22) (By now maybe you've noticed that each of the four 'sides' of this cd collection kicks off with the first track from an ex-Beatles' 1973 solo record. Lennon wrote this one then gave it to Ringo, thinking critics would otherwise take it too seriously. John's demo shows up in the John Lennon Anthology box set. ● – Paul (3:48) (A standalone single issued before Band on the Run, hitting #10 in America, Capitol Records insisted it also appear on the album in the U.S. To improve sales. Must have reminded Paul of the old days when Capitol carved up all the Beatles' records prior to Sgt.

Pepper to make more sausage out of the same amount of meat.) ● – John (4:44) (That's 'Sneaky Pete' Kleinow on the steel pedal guitar.) ● – George (4:11) (The music came to George while he was drifting off to sleep, the title from Ram Dass's introductory text on Hinduism.) ● – Paul (5:29) (McCartney came up with the first line — 'No one ever left alive in nineteen hundred and eighty-five' — then took months to come up with a second. Ends with a reprise of 'Band on the Run.'

Ringo was, and still is, one of rock and roll's most beloved figures. Despite being a bit of a fish out of water in the pool that housed the incredible talents of, and, the wouldn't have been the Beatles without Ringo. Not only was he was one the most solid (and somewhat underrated) drummers of the era, but his charm and wit were always first-rate. His solo recordings, while not without moments of cringing, show an interesting batch of songs.

Some were huge hits, others sadly forgotten along the way. We tip our hat to Ringo, and give you our Top 10 Ringo Starr Solo Songs. • 10 'Devil Woman' Not to be confused the the Cliff Richard hit from 1976, this song was written by Starr with songwriter Vini Poncia.

'Devil Woman' is a flat out rocker with atypical Ringo lyrics. ' You're like the devil with horns in your head, the only way I'll get you is to get you in bed' is not the stuff usually associated with the man who sang 'Octopus' Garden.' Driven along by some gritty guitars and punctuated by a horn section, the song has an almost -like quality to it. It showed up as the b-side to his No. 1 cover of 'You're Sixteen,' as well as landing a spot on the 'Ringo' album. • 9 'Early 1970' Single B-Side (1971) The flipside of Ringo's classic 'It Don't Come Easy' (see No. 1 on our list of the Top 10 Ringo Starr Solo Songs) is yet another autobiographical tune.

'Early 1970' is all about his former band mates. Each member gets a verse, ' lives on a farm, got plenty of charm,' ' laying in bed watching TV with his mama by his side, she's Japanese' and ' he's a long haired cross legged guitar picker' are, well, you can figure out who's who. Ringo was getting all misty-eyed and nostalgic less than a year after the Beatles split, singing, ' when I go to town I wanna see all three' at song's end. In retrospect, working with Ringo was the one thing the others had in common in that period. • 8 'Snookeroo' Single (1975) Like other several other Ringo songs, ('Early 1970,' 'Liverpool 8' to name a couple) there is an autobiographical aspect to the lyrics. This time around, the tale and tune was written by the dynamic duo of the era, and Bernie Taupin.

The song is full of joy, carried along by a horn section and an overall sense of fun. It was issued as a single in the U.K., but despite the marquee names, failed to make a dent.

It made it's U.S. Appearance as the b-side of 'The No No Song' and over the years has grown in stature. • 6 'The No No Song' From: 'Goodnight Vienna' (1974) Written by songwriter Hoyt Axton, 'The No No Song' is very much of its time. Fresh from writing massive hits like 'Joy To The World' and 'Never Been To Spain' for Three Dog Night, Axton turned his pen to the subject of stimulants. In the sanitized-for-children, PC world of 2013, it might seem odd, or even irresponsible, that a major artist like Ringo would release a record that talks about marijuana, cocaine and alcohol, but in 1974, the public snorted it up, sending it to No. Despite the fact that the hero of the song actually rejects all these substances, that didn't stop the stoners listening from enjoying the ride. • 5 'Goodnight Vienna' From: 'Goodnight Vienna' (1974) Ringo was getting a little help from his friends as his solo recording career was in bloom.

On the title track from his, which is No. 5 on our list of the Top 10 Ringo Starr Solo Songs, John Lennon not only wrote the song, but plays piano. The song is a jaunty little rocker that has 'should have been a hit' written all over it. A catchy hook and some interesting lyrics wrapped up with a spot-on performance didn't quite do the trick, as the record barely snuck into the U.S. Like many of these Ringo tracks, time has been kind and it sounds as good today as ever.

• 4 'Blindman' From: B-side (1972) Perhaps bitten by the bug with the Beatles films, as far back as 1968's 'Candy,' Ringo had been delving into acting. In 1971, he landed himself a staring role in the spaghetti western-styled film, 'Blindman.' The film was never a box office hit, but remained of interest due to Starr's role. Perhaps the best by-product of the movie came in the form of the title song. Written by Ringo, and helped out in the studio by longtime Beatles associate Klaus Voormann and Pete Ham of, the song has a droning, almost hypnotic quality to it as synth, fuzz guitar and percussion pulse along. It originally appeared as the flip to 'Back Off Boogaloo,' and has remained in relative obscurity more than 40 years on.

We think it should be heard. • 2 'Back Off Boogaloo' From: Single (1972) Ringo lets it all rock out on this classic single. 'Back Off Boogaloo' was issued as the U.K. Glam movement was in full swing, so it's no surprise that it shares a certain stomp and crunch with the glitter brigade. Written by Starr, produced by George Harrison who also provides some killer guitar, the song's inspiration came from none other than Starr's friend,. Ringo worked, and appeared with Bolan in his 1972 concert film 'Born To Boogie.'

The song made Top 10 stateside and in the U.K. • 1 'It Don't Come Easy' From: Single (1971) Released in the Spring of 1971, Ringo's third single was an incredible step forward for the man behind the most famous drum kit. 'It Don't Come Easy,' written by Ringo and produced by George Harrison, was Starr's first major hit, checking into the Top 5 in both the U.S.

And England and No. 1 on our list of the Top 10 Ringo Starr Solo Songs.

There is an obvious Beatles-like quality to the song, but it firmly stands on its own merits all these years later as not only Ringo's finest moment, but as one of the best solo recordings from any of the Fab Four.
