- “Sentimental Journey” (1970) Right after the Beatles' traumatic dissolution, Starr briefly swerved away from rock entirely, recording a batch of pre-rock standards like "Night and Day," "Stardust" and his debut solo album's title track, "Sentimental Journey."
- “Beaucoups of Blues” (1970) Country music has always suited Starr's wry warble best, and with the encouragement of legendary pedal-steel session man Pete Drake, he recorded his second solo album, Beaucoups of Blues, in Nashville, a city he'd somehow never visited before.
- “It Don’t Come Easy” (1971) Partly a foretelling of the laid-back ease of Seventies soft rock ("you don't have to shout or leap about"), 1971's "It Don't Come Easy" is nonetheless deservedly Starr's most acclaimed hit.
- “Early 1970” (1971) “There’s nothing wrong with the Beatles,” Starr was supposedly still assuring people in March 1970. A month later, the breakup was official, and half a year after that, he recorded this hopeful but heart-breaking eulogy that wound up, at least initially, hidden on the B-side of “It Don’t Come Easy.”
