VOA标准英语2010年-Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney Reunite on
时间：2018-12-16 作者：英语课 分类：VOA标准英语2010年(一月)
Former Beatles Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney have reunited. Well, at least for a couple of songs on Ringo's latest album, "Y Not."
It seems like old times when you hear Ringo Starr playing drums and Paul McCartney on the bass 1 for Ringo's "Peace Dream." The tune 2 has another Beatles connection; it was inspired by John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1969 "bed-in" for peace during their honeymoon 3 at a hotel in Amsterdam. McCartney also sings harmony on the Ringo Starr original, "Walk With You."
Like Ringo's previous star-studded solo albums, his 10-song collection "Y Not" unites an impressive list of musical collaborators. In addition to McCartney, the album features vocalists Ben Harper, Richard Marx and Joss Stone, blues-rock veteran Edgar Winter on saxophones and vocals 4, and guitarists Joe Walsh, Dave Stewart and Billy Squier.
Born and raised Richard Starkey in an inner-city section of Liverpool, England, known as "The Dingle," Ringo sings about his working-class upbringing on the track "The Other Side Of Liverpool." In it, he describes the city, which was also home to his three Beatles bandmates, as "cold and damp … only way out of there, drums, guitar and amp."
In support of "Y Not," Ringo and the current edition of his All-Starr Band launch their 2010 tour in Niagara Falls, Canada, on June 24. Ringo will celebrate his 70th birthday with a concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on July 7.
