For the second time let's have another look at the classic album segment and tonight it's the Ringo Starr album from 1970 Beacoups Of Blues. This was Ringo's second album which was recorded in Nashville at Music City Recorders for 3 days from June 25th-27th 1970 and it was released September 25th 1970 which was not an hit in the UK but it went to number 65 in the USA, number 33 in Australia and number 34 in Canada. From the album the title track Beaucoups Of Blues written by Buzz Rabin went to number 87 in the USA, number 66 Australia, number 35 in Canada and number 43 in Germany and the other tracks from the album were written by Ringo himself as he wrote 2 songs, 3 by Sorrells Pickard, 4 by Harland Howard and 1 by Bobby Pierce. It was engineered by Scotty Moore who played guitar with Elvis Presley in the 50's and 60's and among the musicians playing on the album were Charlie Daniels, Jerry Reid, DJ Fontana who too played drums with Elvis Presley in the 50;s and 60's, Ben Keith who later played with Neil Young in Crazy Horses as well as the backing vocals were done by the Jordanaires as well as Jeannie Kendall as well as being produced by Pete Drake who also played pedal steel guitar on the album. It's an excellent album with an great country feel as well as great songs and it holds up very well after all these years. It's 50 years this year when it came out and even it was an moderate success it should be considered an classic indeed which it's still in the shops somewhere so do yourselves an favour and BUY IT which you'll be impressed.
