Ringo Starr has announced his new album, 'Long Long Road'. You can check out the track list below.
The Beatles legend has announced his 22nd studio album, sharing the lead single, 'It's Been Too Long'. The album has been produced by T Bone Burnett, which will feature collaborations with Sheryl Crow, St Vincent, and Bill Strings.
The track, 'Long Long Road' was written by Burnett, and Daniel Tashian, including the harmony vocals of Sarah Jarosz and Molly Tuttle, which also includes Starr.
“I’m blessed to have T Bone in my life right now and working with me on these records. After we did the last record, which I love listening to, this one just sort of happened. I like to say sometimes I make the right moves, like you can go left or right at any point, and one of the right moves was hooking up with T Bone for ‘Look Up’, and now for this one, which I’m calling ‘Long Long Road’, because I’ve been on a long long road", Starr said.
T Bone Burnett also added: “I’ve loved Ringo’s playing and his singing for my whole life. And then one night we were at a poetry reading together and he said, why don’t you write a song for me? So I wrote him a Gene Autry type song because I always heard Ringo as a Texas artist, the way he played felt just like Texas music to me. Ringo Starr is a recording artist of the highest caliber, and I wanted to surround him with these young masters, bringing in some of this extraordinary young energy that’s happening around Nashville for both of these records".
Long Long Road will be released UME on April 24, which you can pre order via this link here.
