Most pop music fans think they know Ringo Starr. And musically, it's probably true. The fun-loving Beatle, now 67, is still full of nostalgia for the good ol' days, and his humble appreciation for life and simple tunes is abundant on "Liverpool 8." You're not getting anything groundbreaking on a Ringo album. The titular opening track is a sentimental journey through his youth years and later success ("Liverpool, I left you/but I never let you down"), and most of the rest is focused on that evergreen pop-song fodder: love. "Tuff Love," "Love Is," "For Love"; Ringo's got it all covered. But while his talent as a lyricist may leave something to be desired, you can't fault the guy for his dedication to putting a smile on the listener's face. —Troy Carpenter
