5.0 out of 5 stars Ringo's Masterpiece, January 23, 2004

Anyone who tells you that Ringo Starr's solo work isn't as strong as John, Paul or George, obviously hasn't heard TIME TAKES TIME. In fact, TIME TAKES TIME is in the upper echelon of solo Beatle Releases. This album works on many levels. Mostly, the songwriting is superb. Ringo co-wrote a few songs, and hired a batch of top notch songwriters (Roger Manning from JELLYFISH is one) to pen the others. WEIGHT OF THE WORLD is one of the best and catchiest songs on the CD. Other songs like DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO, and AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, are among some of the best that Ringo has recorded. The production is brilliant, and Ringo is in great voice as well. The most amazing thing about this CD is that it has held up quite well. After repeated listens, it still sounds fresh and distinctive. This is an album full of melodic and disparate songs. The many stylings (pop, rock, country) work very well. Even though this CD didn't make the Billboard album charts, it is a favorite with critics and is an ESSENTIAL addition to any CD collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ringo's Most Professional Album, October 4, 2000

This review is from: Time Takes Time (Audio CD)

Released at a time in which Ringo's solo work was regarded more as a hobby than a career, "Time" turned out to be Ringo's most serious and musically consistent album. Though there are multiple producers and writers involved, the songs all seem tied by a theme: cautions about life's hard knocks from someone who's been there.

The sound is professional, and Ringo seems to be trying hard to be a real singer here, not just some pal who likes to belt out tunes. It really raised my opinon of Ringo, and I'm glad I have it in my collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ringo's best?, June 25, 1999

By

This review is from: Time Takes Time (Audio CD)

Ringo Starr's TIME TAKES TIME includes no fewer than five excellent tracks: "In A Heartbeat," "Weight Of The World," "I Don't Believe You," "Don't Go Where The Road Don't Go" and "After All These Years," the latter two co-composed by Ringo. TIME TAKES TIME's blend of first-rate pop, rock and country makes for what this long-time fan considers the drummer man's best album. Starr avoided his past tendency to use both superstar (including other ex-Beatles) musician-songwriters and remakes of classic oldies for this 1992 CD and came up with a gem the public missed. I thought it was out of print, but now I see Amazon's offering TIME TAKES TIME for a bargain price. Get it.
