Liverpool Concert Event on January 12
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Nov. 2
/PRNewswire/ -- On January 15 (January 14 internationally), Ringo Starr
will release Liverpool 8, his first new album with Capitol/EMI since
1974's Goodnight Vienna. Liverpool 8 will be available worldwide on CD
and digitally, and the album's title track will debut as a digital
single on December 4. Starr will launch the album with a hometown
performance on January 12 to commence Liverpool's 2008 Capital of
Culture celebrations.
Liverpool 8, also the title of the
album's upbeat, vibrant lead track, "refers to the section of Liverpool
where I used to live," explains Ringo. "The song was actually Dave
Stewart's idea, as a mini autobiographical travelogue: 'I was a sailor
first ... ' and then, 'Liverpool I left you' -- because I did. 'but I
never let you down,' which is true."
Although Starr and Stewart have
known each other for years, this is the first time they have
collaborated. It began when Dave asked Ringo to lay down some drums on
a track Stewart had done with George Harrison. "After I did the drums I
asked Dave to add some guitars to my album, which Mark Hudson and I
were working on at Mark's Whatinthewhathe? Studio in LA. After Mark and
I parted ways, Dave and I took over producing the record," Starr said.
Then added in his trademark wit, "and that's why the credits say:
Produced by Ringo Starr and Mark Hudson and Over-produced by Ringo
Starr and Dave Stewart."
Liverpool 8's 12 original tracks
were all co-written by Starr and were recorded in England and in
California. "The writing of the records is always the same," Ringo
explains, "it's the same group of guys and we all sit together and
write about what's happening." That "group of guys" who joined Starr on
the album's songwriting and recording are (in alphabetical order): Gary
Burr, Steve Dudas, Mark Hudson, Sean Hurley, Zac Rae, and Dave Stewart.
Since beginning his career in the
1960s with The Beatles, Ringo Starr has been one of the world's
brightest musical luminaries. Starr has enjoyed a successful and
dynamic solo career as a singer, songwriter and drummer, an active
musical collaborator, and as an actor. Drawing inspiration from classic
blues, soul, country, honky-tonk and rock 'n' roll, Starr continues to
play an important role in modern music with his solo recording and
touring. His last studio album, Choose Love, was released in 2005.
Ringo has said that as time goes
on there is more and more of his personality in his music, and the
songs on Liverpool 8 feel personal. Starr's candor, wit and soul are
evident in the lyrics and the heartbeat of every song; I always
followed my heart and I never missed a beat. Peace and love are Ringo
Starr's primary life beats, and Liverpool 8 propels this universal
message in each of its evocative songs, which are imbued with joy,
insight, reflection and wisdom from the music icon the world knows and
loves simply as 'Ringo.'
