Ringo Starr's latest album <em>Give More Love</em> is out now.

Ringo Starr, now 77 and one of the world's first bona fide rock stars, is still working at an incredible pace. The former Beatles drummer just released his 19th studio album, titled Give More Love — and that's if we're not counting the numerous projects he put out with the Fab Four before the band broke up in 1970.

Give More Love, which was released Sept. 15, has a long list of Starr's regular collaborators, including Peter Frampton, Richard Marx, and Benmont Tench. Former bandmate Paul McCartney also makes an appearance on "We're On The Road Again" and "Show Me The Way."
