Ringo Starr (1974) Back Off Boogaloo

This driving defiant rocker was a welcome surprise from Starr, with its strong slide guitar licks of his former band mate George Harrison, powerful vocal harmonies working with the Beatles-esque vibe of the lyrics and the pounding drum sound. It's a brutal rocker, heavy and yet with great rock n roll and pop elements; I also think Ringo in 1972 and 1973 was producing frankly some of the best of the Post Beatles solo stuff with his country album(Beaucoup of Blues) and all star rock variety album(Ringo) to come as well as his fabulous non album singles like this (and It Don't Come Easy).
