 RollingStone.com: Ringo : Ringo Starr : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Ringo was always the figure of conciliation within the Beatles, undoubtedly the most genial, conceivably the most sensible, and the one with the smallest musical axe to grind.
Ringo's lack of a strong musical direction (strictly as a personality, he is stronger than Harrison), the very thing which permitted the participation of the other three Beatles and so many others, makes this album rambling and inconsistent.
Ringo's three most wonderful songs are "I'm The Greatest," on which John harmonizes and George plays lead; "Photograph" (co-written by G. Harrison and R. Starkey), on which George sings harmony and plays 12-string, and "You and Me (Babe)," authored by George and Beatle road manager Mal Evans on which George again plays lead.

RIngo's marriage was falling apart, and it was the source of some inspirational lyrics.

 Ringo Starr
Ringo was always considered the accidental Beatle, the classic example of being in the right place at the right time, and few expected his solo career to amount to much.
Ringo's deadpan delivery carries even the sappiest of the many sappy tunes; Scott's horn arrangements bring things up to the then-current glam rock sound; and the record finally answers the "what if the Beatles reunited" question (answer: they'd be wimpy and out of ideas, but entertaining anyway).
The CD version is particularly worthwhile; it includes Ringo's deserved smash hit "It Don't Come Easy" and his hysterically funny "Early 1970." Klaus Voorman (bass) is on most tracks, and bit players include David Bromberg, Steve Cropper, Chuck Finley, and Milt Holland.

George Harrison plays guitar on both "Early 1970" and "It Don't Come Easy." He is on several tracks on the RINGO album itself, but somehow, he and Ringo and all the other musicians on this CD seem to be in a mood to entertain by 1973.
Ringo was and is a very innivotive drummer (and anyone that has ever picked a pair of drumsticks will tell you that) and all round good egg.
Two of the bonus tracks are from a few years before 1973, when RINGO was released, and their mood is a bit closer to the sixties vibe.
