It should come as no surprise that Ringo is recording another Country album in Nashville; Ringo Starr “Look Up”. He is the Beatle most known for his love of country music, though all four Beatles were big country music fans.
You can find out more about this new album here:
Ringo Starr has announced his next album: a country record, produced and co-written by T-Bone Burnett. Look Up is due out in January 2025. It’s his first new LP since 2019, and his first country record in more than 50 years.
In addition to Burnett, who co-wrote nine out of 11 songs on the record, Look Up features a host of country, bluegrass, and Americana talent including Alison Krauss, Billy Strings, Larkin Poe, Lucius, and Molly Tuttle. The first single from the album, “Time On My Hands,” is out today.
Not many fans realise that the roots of The Beatles music are in country, which has been explored in David Bedford’s book The Country of Liverpool: Nashville of The North

Time on my side sounds a really great track. Ringo looks great wearing the Stetson.
He always had the perfect voice for country and is working with the best there is!
Did you like Beaucoups of Blues, his first country album?
The Country of Liverpool: Nashville of The North is a great book. Skiffle has its origins in country music and David B. shows the development and interest of country music in the city.
Looking forward to the new Ringo country LP.
Thanks John
