Ringo Starr, another preview from the country & western album
As we have already announcedRingo Starr will release a country music album on January 10, 2025, “Look Up”, produced and written in collaboration with T Bone Burnettwhich features 11 original songs recorded this year in Nashville and Los Angeles. Ringo thus returns to pay homage to a musical genre that is dear to him, already explored many years ago with the solo album “Beaucoup of blues” (released in 1970).
Nine of the 11 songs on the new album were written in collaboration with Burnett, one by Billy Swan (former guitarist of Kris Kristofferson) and the other by Starr and Bruce Sugar (sound engineer, producer and author, former collaborator of the former Beatles).
After “Time On My Hands“, written by Paul Kennerly and Daniel Tashian (who is also among the producers of the album together with Sugar) and Burnett, and which you can find below
the second single from the album is “Thankful“, in which Ringo sings together with Alison Krauss (Robert Plant’s live and two-album partner), and you can listen to it here
Ringo Starr will present the new album in the homeland of country, in Nashville, at the historic Ryman Auditorium on January 14 and 15, 2025.
