3.0 out of 5 stars Ringo's Rhinogravure, June 4, 2001

STARR STRUCK: BEST OF RINGO STARR VOLUME TWO, serves sixteen songs from Ringo Starr's 1976-83 recording career. Rating them from strongest to weakest, the Starr albums from which these songs were taken are OLD WAVE; STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES; RINGO'S ROTOGRAVURE; RINGO THE 4TH; and BAD BOY.

It's not likely you will know many of STARR STRUCK's songs. "Wrack My Brain," "Hey Baby" and "A Dose of Rock N' Roll" were minor hits. The Joe Walsh version of "In My Car" got some airplay on rock stations but Ringo Starr's didn't. Starr performed "Heart On My Sleeve" and "Hard Times" live on his 1978 television special, not that you're going to remember that as well as you do his appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Usually a Rhino Records album includes an interesting essay about the recording artist. But STARR STRUCK, a Rhino release, simply lists the tracks with a few photos and no commentary. The back cover of the CD, a photo of Ringo Starr shrugging his shoulders, seems to make the point that there's nothing to say.

But I still rate STARR STRUCK three stars. As a collection of tunes, it has some pretty good ones. If the bad reputations of the five Ringo Starr albums from which these songs came discouraged you from buying them, test the waters with STARR STRUCK.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Overview of Ringo's Less Successful Years, April 30, 2000

By 

Dan Hogg (Boise, ID) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Starrstruck (Audio CD)

By 1976, Ringo was no longer as big a solo artist as he was a few years back. Most of his albums during the 1976-83 period were commercial failures. But that doesn't make this album bad. It's a good supplement to "Blast From Your Past," even though it has less 'hits' than the latter. It shows his pop side, country side, and his knack for oldies. So don't pass up this album just because there aren't big chart hits on it, give it a chance

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad collection, November 24, 2006

This is not a bad collection and is a nice follow-up to 1976's "Blast From The Past" greatest hits collection. While the bulk of Ringo's solo hits can be found on "Blast From The Past" this CD does contain his last two top 40 hits "Wrack My Brain" and "A Dose Of Rock 'N' Roll". The rest of the songs on here are just some nice pop/rock numbers that are not particularly noteworthy. Ringo has released several albums since this was released and is long overdue for a single best of release that covers his entire solo career.
