Ringo Starr, famously known as a member of The Beatles, recently opened up about his music career and his new country album 'Long Long Road'. During a relaxed interview at the Sunset Marquis hotel in West Hollywood, Starr, 85, looked back at his journey, expressing that most of his mistakes in music were made while performing live. With an illustrious career behind him, he emphasizes the importance of collaboration, stating, 'I never play music alone, not even to practice.' He has invited an array of artists to join him on his latest project, including notable names like Sheryl Crow and Billy Strings.
Starr, full of life and joy, mentioned that he prefers to be called 'Ringo' rather than using the title 'Sir Ringo' despite being knighted in 2018. His new album leans heavily into country roots, an influence he has cherished since his youth in Liverpool, which he claims was 'the capital of country music in England'. He reminisced about enjoying country music brought into the city by sailors and the powerful impact it had on him growing up.
With a blend of charm and warmth, Starr continues to exude a passion for music that resonates deeply with fans. He is eager to share his new music with the world as he prepares for a tour across the western US in the coming months. As he takes on the role of lead singer for his band, Starr humorously noted that they have two drum sets on stage, allowing him to remain the drummer while transitioning to the front to sing.
Starr's journey reflects the passion and resilience of an artist who has transcended generational barriers, showcasing not just his musical talents but also his enduring spirit and connection to his roots.
