Paul McCartney is releasing his 18th solo album, 'The Boys of Dungeon Lane,' on May 29. The album features 14 new songs reflecting on his Liverpool roots before fame and includes his first duet with Ringo Starr.
Ringo's childhood love of classic country still influences the new music that The Beatles's drummer makes.
Ringo Starr releases new solo album 'Long Long Road', marking a departure from his Beatles roots into Americana and country music with influences from LA and Nashville rather than Liverpool and London. The Beatles drummer sat down with BBC to discuss the album and his love of touring with bands.
Ringo Starr discusses his new country album Long Long Road in an interview at the Sunset Marquis hotel in West Hollywood. The 85-year-old Beatles drummer collaborated with T Bone Burnett and artists including Sheryl Crow, Billy Strings and St Vincent. Starr, who was knighted in 2018 as Sir Richard, reflects on his love of country music dating back to 1950s Liverpool, his early songwriting struggles with The Beatles, and upcoming Sam Mendes film about his life.
