Sentimental Journey is the first solo album release by former Beatles drummer
Ringo Starr in 1970, as the band was splintering apart. Although Starr was
the third member of the group to issue solo work (after John Lennon and
George Harrison), Sentimental Journey is notable for being the first proper
studio album by a member of the band, in light of the experimental,
soundtrack or live releases his aforementioned bandmates had already
released. Paul McCartney's debut, McCartney would follow three weeks after
Sentimental Journey's release.

Beginning in October 1969, Starr engaged the services of Beatles producer
George Martin to helm his solo debut. The idea, thematic in approach, was to
create an album of standards that would reflect his parents' favorite songs,
even asking them and other members of his family to choose the tracks. In
addition, he would have one song each arranged by different musicians,
ranging from Martin himself, Paul McCartney, Maurice Gibb, Quincy Jones and
old friend of The Beatles from Hamburg (and bassist with Manfred Mann)
Klaus Voormann, among others. Although begun during the sessions, Starr's
own composition, "It Don't Come Easy", would appear as a single in 1971.
Recording of the album was completed in March 1970, with Sentimental
Journey being rushed out merely two weeks later in order to avoid clashing in
the shops with The Beatles' impending final album Let It Be in May and
McCartney, whose 17 April release date its maker flatly refused to delay
after being asked to by the other members of the band.

Sentimental Journey received fair reviews upon its release, although many
critics found the idea of Starr covering standards a bit odd considering his
musical background. His fame in The Beatles was all that was required,
however, to get it all the way to #7 in the UK - with no single release to
promote it - and #22 in the United States. Although the style of the album
took many by surprise, Starr's swift follow-up, Beaucoups of Blues, would be
just as radical a stylistic shift.
