Judging from the 2008 release of LIVERPOOL 8, "Mr. Rhythm" shows no signs of fading away. As amiable, down-to-earth, and lovable as he was when playing with the Beatles nearly 40 years prior, Ringo looks back over his life in the touching title track, dips into gospel on "R U Ready," decries war in "Give Love a Try," and delivers more than his share of satisfying pop gems across the album's 12 tracks. LIVERPOOL 8 is nostalgic, fun, bittersweet, and touching all at the same time. minimize
