Ringo’s new album featuring Paul on “Grow Old With Me”
-
I wonder if anyone is trying to get the youtube embedding feature to work correctly.

I rather like the title track to "What's My Name." Ringo's a pretty decent rock-n-roll singer when the mood strikes him. I'm less sure he can pull off "Grow Old With Me," but I'm pretty sure I'll buy the album.

So... My copy of the album hasn't arrived and I just got notified -- after I inquired -- that it's been delayed at least a week. I ordered from UDiscover Music because on principle I try not to patronize Amazon, but I am not happy. They're claiming "production delays," but folks on Steve Hoffman's board seem to have gotten their copies.

If you'd preordered from Amazon you would have had it the day it came out AND gotten $2 off since price went down after preorder date! (I have Amazon Prime so I got free shipping too)

But he's staying away from Amazon for political reasons (I assume).

More like conscience reasons. Owner Jeff Bezos is the world's richest human but underpays his warehouse workers and just cut the health coverage for the staff at his side business, the Washington Post. I will never, ever contribute to his profits. Period. I'll wait for the album.

Sorry. It must have been some other thing...maybe an app like twitter or insta. I had heard on TV something about staying away because of a political type reason.

Encouraging to see that Ringo's new album has crashed into the UK Top 100 Album Chart at..... #99.

I know this is about Ringos version of the song
it is a beautiful song that did not get any airplay when it was released on the Milk and Honey album
not having the album I only heard the full version of the song from youtube
there is even a Glen Campbell cover of "Grow Old with Me"

Update: Do NOT, under any circumstances, order anything from UDiscover Music. After a full month of lame excuses and out and out lies -- and STILL no firm ship date -- I've cancelled the order and demanded a refund. But because I do not remotely trust these clowns, I've gone ahead and disputed the charge with my credit card company. I'm going to see if the Amoeba Records in San Francisco has it in stock.
