I thought Ringo Starr decided that he wasn't going to tour anymore, but, alas, he's assembled another All-Starr Band. I think most of these guys have played with him before: Colin Hay of Men At Work, Billy Squier, Hamish Stuart of Average White Band (and formerly of Paul McCartney's band, back in the late '80s and early '90s), Edgar Winter and Gary Wright - yes, the "Dream Weaver" guy. I've never seen an "All-Starr show, this one seems kind of fun. I did see Ringo once at New York's Bottom Line - he was basically warming up for VH1 Storytellers the next night, and it was a lot of fun. You just gotta love the guy. I just hope that if he does one new song, it is "R U Ready," from Liverpool 8."Almost Absolutely None Of The Hottest New Music Since 2007"
News and opinions about the best music ever - the new albums, tours and reissues by the greatest rock, hip-hop, country, blues and reggae artists. With some newer artists thrown in, because there's always great new music being made.
