Ringo Starr Gets a Little Help From His Friends on New Album, ‘Look Up’: ‘It’s Far Out’


Beatle Ringo Starr gets a little help on new country album 'Look Up' from his sriends Alison Krauss, Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle

Starr liked the Western-flavored, loping “Come Back” so much he started creating a country EP, including writing the set’s closer, “Thankful,” a pedal steel-drenched love letter to his wife of 43 years, Barbara Bach. Burnett recruited leading Americana, folk and bluegrass music virtuosos including Alison Krauss, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Larkin Poe and Lucius to appear on Look Up, many on multiple tracks. The first song released from Look Up, “Time on My Hands,” features classic country elements of heartbreak and lost love over an aching pedal steel, but like many Starr songs–and reflected in the album’s title — ends on a positive note.
