Well, Ringo hasn't had a true hit single in, what, 30 years?

I have heard Photograph a few times, notably first thing a few days ago.

Haven't heard that in awhile…someday I really need to find that Ringo best-of that Zig recommended awhile back.
Damn, way off-topic and it's my fault! So, has anyone seen the "Classic Albums" episode regarding JL/POB?

Ive heard It Dont Come Easy on the radio before, tho it was part of a beatles solo double (cant remember the other song tho).
Classic Albums JL/POB is on Sky Arts occasionally tho i havent seen it as is some Bed In documentary and the NYC concert which is fabulous until Yoko starts. I want to hear John sing clearly not under Yoko's wailing, ruined a great show.

Yeah, I like it a lot. (Love that whole "Classic Albums" series in fact, the ones I've seen.) It's too bad there was no existing performing/recording footage of that John/Ringo/Klaus trio (with or without Yoko.)
I appreciate Yoko more than most folks, but I agree with MeanMM about that NYC concert recording (and video.) Giving her a specific number of her own so she can do her thing is fine by me. Allowing her to ululate incessantly without regard while somebody else is trying to sing a SONG = not so fine.

To the fountain of perpetual mirth, Let it roll for all its worth.

^^ It's very raw, and I like that now even though at first it was too hard to take (and sometimes still is). It's like he's had the PS therapy and now he just wants to let it out and say whatever he has had bubbling away inside of him for a quarter of a century, and that comes through enormously. It's the little boy that never went away inside of him talking, and it's lovely, but very sad. It was one of the first JL solo songs that I listened to and it put me off listening to any more for a while because I thought it'd all have a similar tone, but I was wrong. I listen to it rarely, but I love 'Mother'.

I think this is an amazing album, and one of my favourite ex-Beatle recordings… it's John at his rawest, and probably the most stripped-down album Phil Spector ever produced.
There are several excellent tracks, with the best being "God" (great piano by Billy Preston), although this song offended George Harrison so much that he refused to allow another stand-out song from the album ("Love") be used in one his "Hand-Made Films" movies many years later.
I have to admit the shrillness of "Well Well Well" is pretty hard to take, but I like most of the rest of the album -- especially "Working Class Hero" and "Remember", in addition to the two tracks mentioned above.
Overall a fabulous album, and so different from anything The Beatles had released.
