Ringo’s latest album Ringo 2012 was just released back on January 31st and includes help from Joe Walsh, Benmont Tench, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Edgar Winter and Bruce Sugar among others and is a very upbeat and enjoyable listen. I personally would love to hear Ringo do his Buddy Holly cover (“Think It Over”) which appears on this album, live on the tour.
