Beloved The Beatles singer Ringo Starr is set to release a new album early next year — and it’s country. Starr’s upcoming album, Look Up, will be out on Jan. 10, 2025, via UMe.
The album will feature 11 original tracks, most of which were co-written by its producer, T Bone Burnett. Burnett brought together some of Americana’s finest musicians for the project, including Billy Strings, Larkin Poe, Lucius, Molly Tuttle and Alison Krauss, adding a rich, authentic touch to Starr’s country exploration.
The first single, “Time on My Hands,” co-written by Paul Kennerly and Daniel Tashian, has already been released and sets the tone for the album, showcasing a classic country sound.
In a statement, Starr said:
“I’ve always loved country music. And when I asked T Bone to write me a song, I didn’t even think at the time that it would be a country song – but of course it was, and it was so beautiful. I had been making EPs at the time and so I thought we would do a country EP – but when he brought me nine songs I knew we had to make an album! And I am so glad we did. I want to thank, and send Peace & Love, to T Bone and all the great musicians who helped make this record. It was a joy making it and I hope it is a joy to listen to.”
