Much has been made of the fact that it was recorded at his home studio, sort of positioning it is some sort of LoFi effort, but that is not the case at all. the strings that Jack (Douglas) arranged for this track, if you really listen, they do one line from “Here Comes The Sun.” So in a way, it’s the four of us.”īefore I go back into some other songs that I really like on the album I have to point out that I have come to like the sound on this new Ringo album. From the official press release for the album we learn directly from Ringo: “…. Not quite a formal Beatle reunion by any stretch of the imagination, the recording does include a sweet “Easter Egg”- like reference to George Harrison. What’s My Name continues that pattern with a who’s who of superstars, many of whom contribute songs as well as performances including: Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh, Edgar Winter, Dave Stewart, Benmont Tench, Steve Lukather, Nathan East, Colin Hay and many moreĪn emotional centerpiece of What’s My Name is Ringo’s cover of John Lennon’s heartfelt ode to love, “ Grow Old With Me” which includes performances by Paul McCartney. Going back to his eponymously titled third and arguably finest album from 1973, Ringo, I suspect the man realized that he had at his fingertips some of the best musicians on the planet so he brought them in to help elevate his offering into a special stratosphere (setting the stage for many of his subsequent recordings). The first reason is simply that his new record – called simply What’s My Name – is a lot of fun to listen to, one of the hallmarks of the best Ringo records.
