Ringo Starr shares country-tinged new track ‘So Wrong For So Long'


Ringo Starr shares country-tinged new track ‘So Wrong For So Long’, taken from new album Give More Love (released Sep 15th 2017)

Ringo Starr has shared new track ‘So Wrong For So Long’. Co-written with Dave Stewart, the song was the genesis for Ringo’s new studio album Give More Love as he explains in a recent interview:

“Dave Stewart and I were going to go down to Nashville and do a country album there, so we thought we should write a few country songs for when we get there. The first one we wrote here in the house was called ‘So Wrong for So Long.’ Then I got offered another tour with the All Starr Band, and it was an offer I couldn’t resist. That’s how I ended up making another album at home and writing all kinds of songs with all kinds of friends – everybody giving more love, and just letting the music flow.”

The track features Nathan East on bass, Greg Leisz on pedal steel guitar, Jim Cox on keyboards, plus Gary Barr and Georgia Middleman on backing vocals. It was engineered by Bruce Sugar with assistance from Ned Douglas.

Give More Love, Ringo’s 19th solo album, was recorded at his home studio in Los Angeles and comprises 10 new tracks featuring collaborations with friends including:

We’re On The Road Again - featuring Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh, Edgar Winter, Steve Lukather

Bonus tracks includeBack Off Boogaloo, You Can’t Fight Lightning, Photograph and Don’t Pass Me By

This version of Back Off Booglaloo is based on the original recording Ringo made when he wrote the song. He recently discovered the tape when he moved houses. The other three bonus tracks are collaborations based on performances from Starr’s 2016 Peace & Love Birthday event. Alberta Cross performed You Can’t Fight Lightning and Vandaveer performed Photograph and Don’t Pass Me By. Starr loved their renditions and asked them to each record them for his new album, also adding his own vocals.

In October Ringo will hit the road in the US with his All Starrs, the same beloved line up he has performed with since 2012: Steve Lukather, Todd Rundgren, Gregg Rolie, Richard Page, Warren Ham and Gregg Bissonette. The tour will include a residency at Las Vegas, NV @ Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. See www.ringostarr.com for full tour dates.
