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 Laughable - co-written and performed with Peter Frampton as well as Benmont Tench, Timothy B Schmidt, Richard Page and Amy Keys Show Me The Way co-written and performed with Steve Lukather and with Paul McCartney Speed of Sound co-written with Richard Marx and featuring Steve Lukather, Peter Frampton and Nathan East Standing Still - co- written with Gary Burr King of the Kingdom - including performances by Dave Stewart and Edgar Winter Electricity - co-written with Glen Ballard and featuring Joe Walsh and Don Was So Wrong For So Long - co written and performed with Dave Stewart Shake It Up - co written and performed with Gary Nicholson and including Don Was and Edgar Winter Give More Love co-written with Gary Nicholson including Timothy B Schmit and All Starrs Richard Page and Gregg Bissonette Bonus tracks include: Back Off Boogaloo, You Can’t Fight Lightning, Photograph and Don’t Pass Me By.
