Written by Starkey/Sugar
Today Ringo Starr released “Thankful,” the second track off his forthcoming country music album, Look Up. The song features Alison Krauss and is the only track on the album which was co-written by Starr, along with Bruce Sugar. The album comes out on January 10, 2025 and was produced and co-written by T Bone Burnett. “Thankful” is available to stream today.
“I love this track. I wrote it with my producer and engineer Bruce Sugar and I feel we put an LA country sound to it. For the lyrics, I always like to focus on the positive, and for this song in particular, about what we can be thankful for,” Ringo reflected. “I hope it brings you some joy and peace and love.”
Recorded this year in Nashville and Los Angeles, Look Up features 11 songs and nine were written or co-written by Burnett, one by Billy Swan and the other, as previously mentioned, co-written by Starr and Bruce Sugar. Starr sang and played drums on all the songs and co-wrote the album’s closer, “Thankful,” featuring Alison Krauss. Burnett enlisted some of Nashville’s finest and hottest talent for the record, including Billy Strings, Larkin Poe, Lucius, Molly Tuttle and the aforementioned Krauss. The album’s debut track, “Time On My Hands,” written by Paul Kennerly, Daniel Tashian (who is a co-producer on the album along with Sugar) and Burnett, is currently available to stream.
