About two years ago Ringo announced that he was putting together his own life/career Anthology. He mentioned interviewing George Martin and others for the documentary. Has anyone heard about this project lately? Is it still in production and when will it come out?

Ringo's live Anthology has already been released. A new (2 disc)one could consist of the demos with the other Beatles singing, rare B-sides, outtakes from Sentimental Journey, Beaucoup of Blues, unreleased Moman, Old Wave, GM TV special of Octopus's Garden, Ognir Rats
To make it interesting he could record new versions of Life Begins at (70?), Let 'Em In, Nobody Told Me There'd be Days Like These, and one he should have sang originally-Ob-la-di-Ob-la-da.

I know that Ringo was working on another musical project with Dave Stewart that was said to be autobiographical, and Paul was recently quoted as saying he'd contributed to it - could that be it?

Dave Stewart is a much better choice for Ringo to work with than Mark Hudson but when will Ringo finally hook up with Rick Rubin for some darker versions of rockabilly and country & western, two areas quite suited to Ringo's vocal range. I am so tired of Ringo's bland kind of pop music with the, "I was walking down the street and saw a girl I'd like to meet," variations that he has been regurgitating the past three decades. Someone needs to shake him up musically as there is still something to be tapped I believe. Ringo will have to sweat and work though.

I always thought Ringo should do a blues-based album. He supposedly used to like to watch the band play bluesy numbers in Hamburg, back in the day, and I'd think the genre would suit him better in his senior years. The vocals wouldn't be as taxing or as awkward as hearing him sing about "one girl for just one minute". I actually like much of the Hudson material (when it's not too "cute"), but think he could do a dark blues disc, with some world-weary tunes, quite well...

I remember way back after the Beatles broke up Ringo did some session work with BB King. BB was asked about Ringo and he said he was really impressed by Ringo. He thought Ringo would cop some sort of attitude because of his stature, but during the sessions he really had a feel for the music and for exactly what was right for BB King. He played what was required and what would be authentic for a BB King song.

My favorite part of seeing Ringo live is watching him play drums on other people's songs, including Cream. He was solid.

That CD seemed to re-energize Ringo. It stopped after that CD though musically. I think the music stayed pretty much the same, constant references in the songs to his Beatles path became extremely old and tired.
