Just as MTV's Unplugged series started out as a great idea — get musicians to reimagine their material in stripped-down arrangements — then was reduced by the record business to a gimmick for a new kind of live album, which is to say, yet another way to re-sell the same material, VH1's Storytellers series has quickly traced the same decline. After all, not everybody is as eloquent, or as well-prepared, as Ray Davies, who did the first show. And as any music journalist can tell you, a musician's idea of a great story about how he came to write a song may not be anybody else's. But the format would seem perfect for bon vivant Ringo Starr, and even if he has been as guilty of padding his catalog as any veteran, he does tell short, entertaining anecdotes about the collection of Beatles favorites and solo hits included (most of which haven't been circulated widely before), which makes it forgivable that he also sneaks in four Beatlesque songs from his recently released Vertical Man album. His backup band, the Roundheads, is actually more supportive than the various editions of the All-Starr Band he used to tour with, and it's good to have a Ringo Starr live album with so much Ringo on it

披头士鼓手Ringo Starr第4张个人专辑。参与制作大牌云集John Lennon、Billy Preston、Klaus Voormann、Robbie Robertson、Harry Nilsson、Dr. John、Elton John、Nicky Hopkins等 。
John Lennon贡献了专辑同名曲Goodnight Vienna ，并参与了和声，弹奏了钢琴和吉他。Ringo Starr作为回应参与了John Lennon 专辑Walls and Bridges 的制作。
专辑封面取材自科幻电影The Day the Earth Stood Still（地球停转之日，1951），封面中Ringo的照片PS自影片演员Michael Rennie的剧照——在Michael的身体上换上了Ringo的头。电影原始图片：
专辑Goodnight Vienna 不是电影原声作品，与1932年的影片Goodnight, Vienna（再见维也纳）没有任何关系，与The Day the Earth Stood Still（地球停转之日，1951首拍，2008翻拍）也没有直接联系。非要与封面取材的电影扯上什么关系的话，那就是影片中Michael Rennie所扮演的一个角色向地球专递了“peace and love”的信息，而“和平与爱”正是Ringo Starr多年来的个人箴言。
Goodnight Vienna 是Ringo Starr在后Beatles时期影响力最大的专辑，同名歌曲最高名次到达全美排行榜第8名，很快变成金曲。 翻唱自黑人组合The Platters的歌曲Only You (And You Alone)达到排行榜第6名，另一首歌曲No No Song更攀升至美国排行榜第3名。 但该专辑在英国并不被看好，排行榜仅位列第30位，但已是走下坡路的Ringo Starr截止到1998年在故乡最后上榜的唱片。
