Rock and roll legend Ringo Starr is set to branch out in a new sonic direction for a forthcoming country album. The Beatles’ iconic drummer has revealed that he is working with celebrated producer/musician T Bone Burnett on new material that will be featured on a new album. “It’s a country one. I’m working on it with someone very special – T Bone Burnett,” Starr revealed in a new interview with USA Today. “He’s doing stuff in Nashville and he comes to LA and it’s all working out. He came to me with nine songs. It won’t be out until October, at least.” The forthcoming country album is part of a fruitful late-period of Starr’s legendary career, following the release of a series of five EPs that he has put out since 2021.
