US album release: Choose Love by Ringo Starr

Choose Love, Ringo Starr’s fourteenth solo studio album, was released in the USA on 7 June 2005.

The album was co-produced by Starr and Mark Hudson. Its guest musicians include Billy Preston and Chrissie Hynde.

Choose Love was released by the Koch label in the USA, and by CNR in the UK on 25 July. Despite positive reviews, the album failed to chart in both countries.

A dual disc set contained CD audio on one side and a DVD on the other. The DVD included features on the making of the album.

A two-disc special edition contained a bonus DVD including the album in enhanced stereo, a ‘making of’ documentary, the album lyrics, song-by-song commentary by Starr and Hudson, and a biography by David Wild.
