Ringo Starr - Stop And Smell The Roses flac album

Stop and Smell the Roses is the eighth studio album by English rock musician Ringo Starr. Released in October 1981, it followed the twin commercial failures of Ringo the 4th (1977) and Bad Boy (1978). The album includes the hit single "Wrack My Brain", written and produced by George Harrison, but otherwise failed to find commercial success. It also includes contributions from Paul McCartney, Harry Nilsson, Ronnie Wood and Stephen Stills.

Starr asked McCartney whether he would like to play on and possibly produce Starr’s next album, to which McCartney agreed. Starr started sessions in France for a new album, at this point titled Can’t Fight Lightning, on 11 July, at Super Bear Studios, lasting until 21 July. With Wings then in limbo and McCartney II just released, McCartney booked time with Starr to record three songs: Private Property and Attention (both McCartney originals) plus a cover of Sure to Fall . Daytrippin’: In July 1980 you recorded Private Property and Attention with Paul and Linda McCartney for Ringo Starr’s Stop and Smell the Roses. What was it like watching Paul and Ringo interact and work together? Juber: Simply amazing.

was pretty well IT for Ringo in the 1980s. Until he dried out and took his first All-Starr band on the road. That would be the first step toward the highly successful regeneration of his recording and performing career. IMO, I think that "Stop and Smell the Roses" is his 3rd best album, but that still isn't saying a whole lot. The first five songs are all pleasant Ringo pop tunes, highlighted by "Wrack My Brain" and the catchy "Stop and Take the Time To Smell the Roses". The second five songs (what would have been Side B on the original vinyl), unfortunately, aren't nearly as memorable
