The continuation of my conversation
with musician/singer/songwriter/producer Luther Russell - whom
you may recall (SATB 192) as one half
of Those Pretty Wrongs, a duo with Jody Stephens (ex-Big Star).
As a devout fan from birth and a drummer himself, Luther possesses
considerable insight into what made
Ringo the essential Beatle: how a combination of
unique skills, background and chemistry with the others made him
the band's most valuable player in a very real sense. This
sprawling conversation addresses Ringo's singular gifts that not
only served his band so well over the course of their live and
studio career but also how he built the vocabulary that countless
others followed in his wake.
