Long Long Road

About

As the Beatle who ushered covers of Carl Perkins and Buck Owens standards into the early Fab Four canon, Ringo Starr has always been a country bumpkin at heart, so it makes perfect sense for him to stage a full-circle move back to the genre six decades later and indulge his most extravagant Nashville fantasie. <i>Long Long Road</i> is the sequel to his 2025 Music City sojourn, <i>Look Up</i>, and once again sees him getting a little help from his producer friends T Bone Burnett and Daniel Tashian alongside new-school Americana stars Molly Tuttle and Billy String. Ringo’s easygoing croon is a perfect fit for countrypolitan cowpoke laments like “I Don’t See Me in Your Eyes Anymore” and the title track (featuring Sheryl Crow), where his wry vocal tone walks the fine line between self-deprecating humor and genuine tear-in-your-beer patho, while dust-kicking bluesy romps like “Baby Don’t Go” and “It’s Been Too Long” let him flex his rock ’n’ roll muscle in between twangy lick. .
