Recording


Recorded a month before the release of Starr's new studio album Vertical Man – and performed in promotion for it – VH1 Storytellers features Starr's contemporary musical collaborator Mark Hudson (who produced this set) and Starr's current band, dubbed "the Roundheads". Aside from songs that appeared on Vertical Man, much of the set is devoted to Starr's Beatles and early solo successes with Starr relating their stories in a relaxed, and sometimes humorous, fashion.


Release and reception


This marked the last time a Ringo Starr album was released on a pre-recorded cassette in the United States, according to journalist Peter Palmiere. However, some countries in the Far East still issue cassettes of recent Ringo Starr material including Ringo Rama, Choose Love and Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo Starr.

VH1 Storytellers was released by Mercury Records in the US on 20 October 1998.[nb 1][5] The album failed to chart. Entertainment Weekly's reviewer wrote: "It's his yarns, though, that are most engaging … A nice retrospective of an under appreciated composer."[3]

VH1 Storytellers (рус. Рассказчики историй на VH1) — концертный альбом Ринго Старра, записанный и выпущенный для одноимённой популярной телевизионной музыкальной программы телесети VH1 в 1998 году. В отличие от предыдущих концертных альбомов Старра, в этом альбоме Ринго предстаёт в более «интимной», близкой к зрителю обстановке, где он рассказывает (когда это требуется) об истории создания исполняемых песен.
