Book Excerpt: Ringo Starr Realizes a Dream With His 1970 Country Album

ringo starr

Ringo Starr had always loved country and western music. Back in 1959, he had joined an English group called The Raving Texans. He took the stage name Ringo not only because of the rings he wore, but also in honor of "Johnny Ringo," a real life cowboy involved in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.

When the Beatles and Rolling Stones barnstormed across America in 1964 and 1965, many parts of the US only had country radio stations. The exposure deepened the bands' affection for the genre.

Coincidentally, at the end of 1964, Bonanza star Lorne Greene released an album called Welcome to the Ponderosa with a song about the gunfighter Johnny Ringo on it. Since it was during the height of Beatlemania, the label released it as a single. The song shot to number one by December, even though it had nothing to do with Richard Starkey. It must have been a hilarious capper to one of the best years of Starr's life to hear cowboys atmospherically harmonizing "Ring-go" to a two-step beat on the radio everywhere he went.

Starr went on to cover country artist Buck Owens' "Act Naturally" on the Help! album, co-wrote with Lennon-McCartney (supposedly) the country-inflected "What Goes On" on Rubber Soul, and wrote the country "Don't Pass Me By" on the White Album.

Thus when Starr met Nashville guitarist Pete Drake in 1970 while working on George Harrison's All Things Must Pass, it was natural for the two to share a rapport. When Starr broached the idea of doing a country album, Drake replied everyone in Nashville would love to participate. Drake did hundreds of sessions a year and assured Starr they could complete the project in two days. With Starr's commitment, Drake rounded up his musician and composer friends and assembled a batch of songs for Starr to pick from.

Starr arrived in Nashville on June 22nd and cut the tracks on June 30th and July 1st. In order to keep Starr in tune, other vocalists sang just out of range of the microphone. For the album's title track, "Beaucoups of Blues," Starr selected a song by Buzz Rabin, a Nashville songwriter whose later credits included "If You'll Hold the Ladder (I'll Climb to the Top)," a tune used in Tender Mercies.

On a number of songs the incomparable Jordanaires provided the backing vocals as they had for Elvis on many of his classics, starting with "Heartbreak Hotel." They also sang for Ricky Nelson, among many others. Elvis' own original guitarist Scotty Moore engineered, and Charlie "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" Daniels played guitar. With so many authentic country contributors, the songs were not odd pastiches like "Don't Pass Me By," but bona-fide Nashville productions.

One stand out track is "15 Draw," a mellow song about a guitar player writing to his Mom, acknowledging how he could never settle down and stay married. The guy didn't take over his dad's hardware business because he thought he was going to make it big, but so far it hasn't happened and he needs to borrow $15. Still, he lets her know that he doesn't drink as bad anymore, and overall he sounds pretty content, though slightly wistful. Low key like lonely Texas highways, the song conjures a world like the country films Crazy Heart (2009) or Tender Mercies (1983).

It features the finger picking of Jerry Reed, in the Country Hall of Fame for both his singing and guitar playing. Elvis covered his 1967 song "Guitar Man" and brought Reed in to play in his own unique style on the track, and the song marked the beginnings of Elvis' rock and roll comeback after years spent making pop movie soundtracks. Reed then won the Grammy for "When You're Hot You're Hot," which is why Ringo quotes it in the "$15 Draw" fade out. Later Reed starred alongside Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit and sang its classic theme, "East Bound and Down."

The album didn't make the UK charts, and only reached number 65 in the US, so for the next two years Starr decided to focus on acting. But today, Blues is often rated by critics alongside 1973's Ringo (and perhaps 1992's Time Takes Time) as the Ringed One's best solo album. It depends upon whether you prefer country or slick pop rock.

Ringo Starr Announces New All Starr Band Line-Up, Tour Dates

Ringo Starr has announced the line-up for the newest All Starr Band. It will feature Todd Rundgren, Gregg Rolie (Santana), Steve Lukather (Toto), Richard Page (Mr. Mister) alongside saxophonist Mark Rivera and drummer Gregg Bissonette. The tour launches June 14th at the Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls and runs through July 21st at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles – though a press release states that more dates will be added. Ringo is touring in support of his new album Ringo 2012.

Ringo began touring with a constantly rotating crew of All Starr Bands in 1989. Countless musicians have been in the mix over the years, including Joe Walsh, Levon Helm, Jack Bruce, John Entwistle, Sheila E and Paul Carrack. The musicians come from a wide variety of musical backgrounds, but they were all the lead vocalist on at least two big radio hits. The setlist mixes in those songs with hits from Ringo's solo career and a handful of Beatles classics. 

Todd Rundgren and Richard Page have both participated in previous All Starr Band tours, but this is the first outing for Steve Lukather and Gregg Rolie, who was the lead vocalist in the original line-up of Santana. In 1973 he co-founded Journey with Neal Schon. He left the band in 1980. 

Here is our best guess at what this year's setlist will look like:

"It Don't Come Easy"
"Act Naturally"
"Honey Don't"
"Rosanna"
"Oye Como Va"
"I Saw The Light"
"I Wanna Be Your Man"
"Wings"
"Kyrie"
"You're Sixteen"
"Yellow Submarine"
"Hold The Line"
"Bang On The Drum All Day"
"Black Magic Woman"
"Broken Wings"
"Boys"
"Photograph"
"With A Little Help From My Friends"

Here are the tour dates:

June 14, 15 – Fallsview Casino, Niagara Falls, ON
June 16 – Bethel Woods PAC, Bethel, NY
June 17 – Mohegan Sun, Uncasville, CT
June 19 – Bank of America Pavilion, Boston, MA
June 22 – Jones Beach Ampitheater, Wantagh, NY
June 23 – Ceasar’s, Atlantic City, NJ
June 24 – Meyerhoff, Baltimore, MD
June 26 – State Theater, Easton, PA
June 27 – Mayo Center, Morristown, NJ
June 29 – St Augustine Theater, St. Augustine, FL
June 30 – Seminole Hard Rock Arena, Hollywood, FL
July 1 – Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater, FL
July 3 – Tuscaloosa Ampitheater, Tuscaloosa, Al
July 4 – The Wharf, Orange Beach, Al
July 6 – Fox Theater, Atlanta, GA
July 7 – Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN
July 8 – Horseshoe Casino, Hammond, IL
July 11 – Usana Ampitheater, Salt Lake, UT
July 13 – Northern Quest, Spokane, WA
July 14 – St Michelle Winery, Seattle, WA
July 15 – Edgefield, Portland, OR
July 17 – Mountain Winery, Saratoga, CA
July 19 – Humphrey’s, San Diego, CA
July 21 – The Greek, Los Angeles, CA

Meet the Beatle: Russell Brand Interviews Ringo Starr in L.A.

russell brand ringo starr Russell Brand and Ringo Starr share a laugh while taping SiriusXM's 'Town Hall With Ringo Starr.'

Ringo Starr will never write a book about his life, he insisted during a "Town Hall" broadcast live yesterday on SiriusXM from the Troubadour in West Hollywood, Calif. "I've been asked to write an autobiography of myself, but they really only want those eight years," he said with a laugh, referring to his time in the Beatles. "And I say, 'But there are 10 volumes before we get to that, and 20 afterwards.'"

The afternoon broadcast had Starr trading wisecracks and surreal repartee with host and inquisitor Russell Brand, who sat onstage next to the legendary drummer with a crazed grin, welcoming him to Los Angeles. "As you know, I was born in South Central," said the British Brand, wearing a leather jacket and long scarf. "Unfortunately, I'm a Crip and Ringo's a Blood."

The occasion was this week's release of Starr's new album, Ringo 2012, as an intimate crowd of satellite radio listeners read from prepared questions. One fan noted that Monday was the 43rd anniversary of the Beatles' famous rooftop concert in London – the band's final live public performance. "Is it really?" Starr replied, caught by surprise.

Starr said he had just one disappointment with that historic 1969 concert, documented by a camera crew for the film Let It Be: "The police came to stop us, and I was on the roof: 'Come on, drag me off!' It would be so dramatic, and the damn cop wouldn't drag me off!"

He announced plans for a U.S. tour in 2012 and answered questions on his life and music, including the source of his influential drumming style, which owes something to being born left-handed while his grandmother – "the voodoo queen of Liverpool" – forced him to write with his right. He remains a lefty in everything else.            

Starr frequently flashed a peace sign and repeated his personal greeting: "Peace and love, peace and love." Dressed in a black suit, his black hair and beard cropped short, Starr said, "It's up to you. I'm always doing it."           

Brand then held up his fingers and said, "Actually, Ringo, you did insist that if I didn't put my two fingers like that, you would break them."           

"I did say that in a peace and love way," Starr deadpanned.           

Asked how he felt about the digital revolution, as listeners choose to download individual songs instead of full albums, Starr said, "It's a different time, and I'm afraid to say that's what I do. If you made a record, I'd probably pick out tracks that I like and download that. That's just how it is. We have to go with that because it's changed.           

"I love the modern technology now. I was a little opposed to it –'Oh, in my day, we used to have a donkey turning the wheel, and two guys chewing tape to make it soft,'" Starr joked, but also proudly noted the vinyl version of his new album.           

When one fan rambled a little too long, Brand declared: 'You're the worst audience member since John Wilkes Booth."          

Starr also was joined by producer and "moderator" Don Was for some final questions, and then a four-piece band for a quick set of solo and Beatles tunes, beginning with his 1971 hit "It Don't Come Easy." He stepped behind a drumkit to play and sing the Beatles' "I Wanna Be Your Man." His friend (and in-law) Joe Walsh stepped onstage for some fiery guitar during "Wings," an old Starr tune re-recorded for the new album, then closed with the Beatles' "With A Little Help From My Friends" and Buck Owens' "Act Naturally."           

"I don't want to go back anywhere," Starr said when asked where in his past he'd revisit or change. "I want to deal with what's in front of me now to the best of my abilities, and sometimes that's not very good. But a lot of the days it is really great."
