The actual album simply titled "Ringo" is excellent.

Yes, it is. As far as I know, the only post-Beatles album that all 4 played on. John, Paul, and George each also wrote a song for it.
John's "I'm The Greatest" is still played often by the All-Starr Band. Paul's "Six O'Clock" is a pop gem. And George's "Photograph" is a stunningly beautiful song (even with Ringo's vocals).
"No Anchovies, Please"

The last Ringo album I bought was "Rotogravure" (1976). It was not as good as "Goodnight Vienna" (1974), which was not as good as "Ringo" (1973). I would assume the downward spiral has continued wtih each new Ringo release.

And since the expanded "Ringo" CD also includes "It Don't Come Easy", it's really got all the Ringo any sane person could ever possibly need. "I'm The Greatest" isn't much of a song, but it's got three Beatles playing on it, and Lennon's Anthology box set includes a demo version which not only features John, George, and Ringo, but also features JOHN'S lead vocal, showing Ringo how he wanted him to sing it. To me, THAT'S the real Beatles reunion record. Not "Free As A Bird".

I have not heard it yet. I did hear that he will be in nearby Niagara Falls rehearsing for a tour with his latest incarnation of the All-Starr Band soon. Unfortunately, the band is seriously lacking stars, other than Ringo. I kind of feel bad that he couldn't attract anyone worthwhile. This edition is Ringo, Edgar Winter (hmm wonder what song he will play), Rick Derringer (see note about Edgar Winter), Gary Wright (again see note about Edgar Winter)...it then gets more obscure with Wally Palmar on rhythm guitar (I had to look him up online...he was a singer for the Romantics...but not on their biggest hit: 'What I like About You')...then more obscure with Richard Page on bass (I had to look him up online, too....he was in Mr. Mister in the 80s).
I like Ringo, I just hope the end of his career does not get Spinal Tap-like.
(One more thing: the drummer of his band is Gregg Bissonette, a great session drummer who has played with Spinal Tap, among many others)
