The 84-year-old, also known as the oldest living member of The Beatles, revealed Friday (10/18) his plans to release a Country album, Look Up, on January 10, 2025.
The project, produced and co-written by T Bone Burnett, marks Starr’s first solo album in six years and garners an impressive list of musical features including Alison Krauss, Billy Strings, Larkin Poe, Lucius and Molly Tuttle.
“I’ve always loved Country music,” Starr said in a statement announcing the project. “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.”
He continued, “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.”
Along with the album announcement, Starr teased the lead single “Time On My Hands,” hear it below.
