Ringo Starr - Photograph: The Very Best Of Ringo Starr
This solid compilation features twenty tracks, many of them bona fide hits, most of them instantly familiar. What this disc underscores, besides the songs themselves, is the quality of musicians that Starr worked with in making them, from his three former bandmates to the likes of Elton John, Billy Preston, and Eric Clapton.
Of all the artists that contributed to this music, none resonate as often or as profound as George Harrison. "Photograph" and "It Don't Come Easy" rank as two of Starr's most recognizable recordings, not least because of Harrison's involvement in their creation, having co-written and produced the former while producing the latter. He also contributed the loose and bouncy track, "Wrack My Brain," and produced the weird and wonderful smash, "Back Off Boogaloo". Starr wrote the poignant song, "Never Without You," which features Eric Clapton on guitar, in tribute to his departed friend.
