Includes liner notes by Matt Hurwitz.By the start of the '80s, Ringo had come a long way from his public image as "the funny Beatle." He'd begun a successful film career, married actress Barbara Bach, and racked up more solo hit singles than any of his former bandmates. His jocular affability transferred well onto tape, giving most of his albums a light, friendly air that made them instantly endearing. STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES is no exception. Like his finest solo effort RINGO, this album features contributions from several of Ringo's superstar pals; Steve Stills, Ron Wood, even Paul McCartney and George Harrison. ROSES is full of the kind of good-humored pop that is Ringo's strength; well-produced and amiably presented. "Wrack My Brain" is a hit single that never was, and the self-referential "Drumming Is My Madness" (on which the fab skinpounder is joined by legendary drummer Jim Keltner) is a loopy-but-memorable bit of fun.
