Get ready for a thrilling announcement from a true music icon! Beatles legend Ringo Starr is back with a brand-new album!
The renowned drummer, Sir Ringo Starr, has revealed his upcoming 10-track masterpiece, 'Long Long Road'. At 85 years young, he's teaming up with an impressive roster of artists, including Billy Strings, Sheryl Crow, and St. Vincent. The album's debut single, 'It's Been Too Long', is already making waves, featuring Sarah Jarosz and Molly Tuttle.
But here's where it gets exciting: the album was co-written by Starr himself and the iconic producer T Bone Burnett! This dynamic duo previously collaborated on Starr's 2025 album, 'Look Up', which skyrocketed to the top of the UK's official country chart. And now, they're back with another sure-to-be hit.
Starr reflects on his journey, saying, "I've been on a long long road." He credits T Bone for being a crucial part of his recent musical endeavors. The album, recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles, embraces country and Americana sounds, and even pays homage to guitarist Carl Perkins, whom Starr admired during his Beatles days.
T Bone Burnett had nothing but praise for Starr, calling him a recording artist of the highest caliber. He shared their creative process, which began at a poetry reading, and expressed his desire to surround Starr with young musical talent from Nashville.
As a founding member of The Beatles, Starr, or Richard Starkey, is no stranger to success. The Beatles' impact on music is immeasurable, with 18 UK number one singles and 16 UK number one albums under their belt. And now, Starr continues to captivate audiences with his solo work.
'Long Long Road' is set to release on April 24, and fans are eagerly awaiting this musical treat. Will it be another chart-topper? Only time will tell. And this is the part most people miss—how will Starr's new sound resonate with fans of his Beatles era? Share your thoughts in the comments!
