BOB is a great record, one of Starkey’s best solo efforts (along with RINGO and CHOOSE LOVE). The ex-Beatles’ solo catalogues are a mixed bag, but have some real killers in there: ALL THINGS MUST PASS, BAND ON THE RUN, WALLS AND BRIDGES, MEMORY ALMOST FULL, IMAGINE, PLASTIC ONO BAND, 33 1/3.

Thanks for posting the link to that wonderful article about Ringo Starr’s Nashville album, which I must admit I never heard of prior to today. I really liked The Beatles albums I purchased as a kid back in the 1960’s and when they broke up I didn’t pay attention to any of the former members as I figured their solo efforts could in no way measure up. If I ever come across a cheap used copy of Ringo’s CD I might just purchase it out of curiosity…..

Didn’t know there was going to be so many promising releases coming up in the next few months. Time to stock up on Ramen noodles to I can afford to buy them all.

The list of unusual funeral songs is great, and kudos to whoever picks “Highway to Hell” as a song choice. My funeral’s soundtrack will definitely have Shaver’s “Live Forever” and Steve Goodman’s “Dying Cub Fan’s Last Request” in it.

I live under the illusion that one day I will write a long article that places Todd Snider firmly in the country music songwriting tradition and exalts him as an archetype for the next generation of country songwriters to aspire to.
