Reveries for the laziest day of the week

Album artwork
84-year-old beatle RINGO STARR can’t stop making/playing music.
Besides his 22 solo LPs (new one included) he toured for years with
his All-Star Band, which had several legend line-ups.
Back in time, in 1970, he released a sugary country album.
And Starr returns to country melancholia with his first longplayer in 6 years.
LOOK UP was produced and co-written (9 out of the 11 songs) by that
other legend T Bone Burnett.
The album’s impressive guest list features Alison Krauss,
Billy Strings, Larkin Poe, Lucius, Molly Tuttle and more.
Ringo: “I’ve always loved country music. And when I asked T Bone to write me a song,
I didn’t even think at the time that it would be a country song – but of course it was, and
it was so beautiful. I had been making EPs at the time and so I thought we would do
a country EP -but when he brought me nine songs I knew we had to make an album!
And I am so glad we did. I want to thank, and send Peace & Love, to T Bone and
all the great musicians who helped make this record. It was a joy making it and
I hope it is a joy to listen to.”
