Well, I did tell you I was in the Christmas mood, didn't I? And what better way to celebrate it than with Ringo's very own Rock 'n' Roll contribution to the seemingly hundreds of thousand Yuletide-themed records that seem to exist in some form or another out there?
And what a perfectly charming record it is. You know, the thing I love about practically all of his solo musical output is that it's very straightforward, musically speaking. No unnecessary musical flourishes, just good old musicianship and songwriting. I guess he got tired of all those studio hours the Beatles devoted themselves in the last few records to, huh? Well, whatever reason,it's music played with complete honesty and total unpretention, something we are sorely lacking nowadays. I mean, you have to agree with me that all these indie bands that try to pretend that they're only in it for the music are making it very hard for us to believe in them, especially when they play all coy in interviews. I mean, come on!
Before I stray too much from the point of this post, let me just redirect you to the right side of the blog where you'll find the link to download through rapidshare the album you see above. As always the password is amrao.
Oh, and a big thank you to a special friend of mine who very wisely (and also very sweetly) recently gave me a Yellow Submarine vinyl sticker kind of like the one you see on the right! Very much appreciated!
