Ringo Starr Announces New Country Album Look Up For January 2025 Release Featuring Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, and More

Ringo Starr is set to make his return to the country music scene with his new album, Look Up, produced and co-written by T Bone Burnett. Scheduled for release on January 10, 2025, the album promises a fresh collection of sounds and collaborations, marking Starr’s first country project since 1970’s Beaucoups of Blues.

According to Consequence, Starr’s latest endeavor features 11 original tracks, including the lead single “Time on My Hands,” which is available for streaming now.

The album was recorded earlier this year in Nashville and Los Angeles, stemming from a serendipitous meeting between Starr and Burnett at a 2022 event. This encounter inspired Burnett to create nine country-infused songs, laying the groundwork for the album.

Look Up boasts an impressive lineup of guest artists, including Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle, both of whom appear multiple times throughout the record. Additional contributions come from Alison Krauss, Lucius and Larkin Poe, showcasing Starr’s commitment to celebrating and revitalizing the country genre.

This commitment is echoed in his collaborations with other country stars like Dolly Parton.

Pre-orders for vinyl and CD formats are currently ongoing, allowing fans to secure their copies ahead of the release.
