Ringo Starr has completed initial recording of his follow-up to his well-regarded Look Up LP. As with that album, the new one will be steeped in country western influence, and will include an unnamed Carl Perkins cover, Noise11 reports. T-Bone Burnett is producing.

Starr has also returned to songwriting with longtime collaborator Bruce Sugar, co-writing two new tracks for the project. Sugar has been a key behind-the-scenes figure in Starr’s studio output for more than a decade, helping translate ideas into finished recordings while preserving Starr’s unmistakable voice and rhythmic instincts.
One of the album’s most notable inclusions will be a cover of a lesser-known Carl Perkins song, described as more reflective and emotionally weighted than Perkins’ best-known hits. The choice is a deliberate nod to Starr’s earliest recorded work with The Beatles. During the band’s formative years, Starr took lead vocals on Perkins compositions including "Matchbox" and "Honey Don’t," performances that highlighted both his affection for American roots music and his natural fit within it.
