RINGO STARR EXPLAINS PIVOT TO COUNTRY MUSIC

 

 

Ringo will celebrate with the genre country greats like Emmylou Harris and Sheryl Crow at the world-famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville in a new 2-hour concert special called "Ringo & Friends at the Ryman," airing (tomorrow) Monday, March 10 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

"When I was a teenager with Hank Williams and people like that the name of the game was to get here," he told while walking backstage at the Ryman, once home of the Grand Ole Opry.
Ringo performed two-day country "tour" at the Ryman following the release of his new country music album, "Look Up," produced and co-written by T Bone Burnett. 

"It was two nights of peace, love and country music," Starr reflected on the concert.

 

Burnett says Ringo floated the idea for the country collaboration after the pair met up in Los Angeles.

 

Burnett was sold, especially "knowing that his name is Ringo Starr because he wanted to be a cowboy singer when he was a kid," joking that it "sounds like the sheriff of Dodge City or something."

So, Burnett decided to write a Gene Autry-inspired song, "Time On My Hands." It would be the catalyst for the album, released in January.

 

One of his first lead vocals for the Beatles was Carl Perkins' country classic "Honey Don't." He also wrote the country rock tune "Don't Pass Me By" from the Beatles' 1968 "White Album."

"From the beginning you were kind of the country guy in The Beatles really"... "I was," Ringo said.
