Holy cow: Ringo produced by T Bone Burnett!
I have YouTube video maker Norman Maslov to thank for for alerting me to this interesting news (see video link below if you wish). Ringo Starr revealed his love of Country music while still in The Beatles, and in 1970 traveled to Nashville to record his Beaucoups Of Blues album, which is 100% pure Country. It is one of my favorite post-Beatles albums from the four members (as is his 1973 s/t album). While his singing isn’t up to the level of the Nashville studio musicians who play on the album (many of them also heard on a few mid-60’s and later Dylan albums), it works.
A few years back, Mazzy expressed his desire that Ringo would forget about his All-Star albums, and make another Country record, a sentiment I wholeheartedly agreed with. Well, Ringo has finally done as Mazzy and I wished: He went back to Nashville to record a Country album, with T Bone Burnett producing, no less!
Mazzy mentions that Alison Krauss and Billy Strings (a fairly recent young neo-Traditionalist Country/Bluegrass songwriter/singer/guitarist making a name for himself) are heard on the album, so I have high hopes for it. It’s slated for a January release.
