Ringo Starr’s upcoming album, titled ‘Long Long Road’, is poised to make a significant impact upon its release on April 24, 2026. The album features collaborations with renowned artists such as Billy Strings, Sheryl Crow, and St Vincent, highlighting Starr’s enduring influence in the music industry.

The first single from the album, ‘It’s Been Too Long’, has already generated excitement among fans and critics alike. This new project follows Starr’s previous album, ‘Look Up’, which was released on January 10, 2025, and marked his first number one album on the UK’s Official Country Chart.

Starr’s return to the country genre is notable, as ‘Look Up’ was his first country record in 50 years. The new album ‘Long Long Road’ includes a total of 10 tracks, with 6 of them written or co-written by producer T Bone Burnett, who has been instrumental in shaping the sound of this project.

Recorded in both Nashville and Los Angeles, the album reflects a blend of Starr’s classic style and contemporary influences. In a recent statement, Starr expressed his gratitude for Burnett’s collaboration, saying, “I’m blessed to have T Bone in my life right now and working with me on these records.”

Additionally, the album will include a track titled ‘I Don’t See Me In Your Eyes Anymore’, showcasing Starr’s continued evolution as an artist. The collaboration with Burnett is particularly significant, as Starr noted, “I recorded two Carl Perkins songs with The Beatles, and both T Bone and I wanted one on this record.”

As Ringo Starr approaches his 85th birthday, his commitment to creating new music remains unwavering. T Bone Burnett has praised Starr’s artistry, stating, “I’ve loved Ringo’s playing and his singing for my whole life.” Burnett also remarked on Starr’s musical style, saying, “I always heard Ringo as a Texas artist, the way he played felt just like Texas music to me.”

With the release date approaching, fans are eagerly anticipating the new sounds that ‘Long Long Road’ will bring. Details remain unconfirmed regarding additional promotional events or performances surrounding the album’s launch.
