Spencer, happily back in the Comment Section after a season wandering in the Yukon, brings to our attention this nugget from ’73. Ringo Starr’s third solo album, cleverly titled Ringo, features just about every killer in the contemporary music industry: Steve Cropper, most of The Band, Harry Nilsson, Nicky Hopkins, and three fellows from Liverpool. None of them play on this tune, though; it’s a second-rate ensemble: Klaus Voorman and Jim Keltner are the rhythm section, our man James Booker on piano, and T Rex’s Marc Bolan on crunchy rock star guitar in your left ear.
OBLIGATORY DEAD CONNECTION: Tom Scott, who played the sax solo on the studio version of Estimated Prophet, doing the horn arrangements.
Also: guess how many tracks on the album James Booker plays on? Go ahead. Guess.
