The San Jose Mercury News talks to Ringo about his new LP, tour and more.
Highlights:
A: Well, I got back into country with T-Bone Burnett. Last year, we put an album out. This year, we put an album out. And Universal is putting a “best of” out this year sometime.
So, we’re just moving along, you know.
Q: Plus, you found time to record a number with your pal Paul McCartney — Home to Us” — which has Fab Four fans around the globe feeling giddy. How did that song come about?
A: I didn’t plan it. He just surprised me with it and said, “sing the choruses.” So when he sent it over, I sang the whole deal. He said, “Oh, man, you’re sounding great. Let’s do it as a double.” So, we’re both on it.”
Q: And what was the experience like for you to record your first-ever true vocal duet with Paul?
A: Oh, great. Anything I do with Paul is great.
He’s played on several of my CDs and, you know, he comes over, brings his bass and — you know — he knows how to do it.
