TAKE A RIDE WITH RINGO ON HIS LONG LONG ROAD IN THIS WONDERFUL NEW VIDEO,
FEATURING NEW & NEVER BEFORE SEEN PHOTOS
24 APRIL 2026 (TORONTO, ON) – Ringo Starr releases Long Long Road, his 22nd solo album and his 2nd co-written and produced by T Bone Burnett. The highly anticipated follow-up to last year’s chart topping Look Up, the 10-song album includes collaborations with Sheryl Crow, Sarah Jarosz, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle and St. Vincent.
Today we highlight the title track, with Sheryl Crow and Daniel Tashian lending their voices, accompanied by a video directed by acclaimed director Francesca Gregorini (also Ringo’s stepdaughter). The video is sentimental and embracing new technologies, and follows Starr on his Long Long Road, driving through scenes from throughout his life, including many personal and never before seen images.
“We're talking about this Long Long Road I’ve been on - and I’ve been thinking about the road I’ve taken,” reflected Ringo. “Starting in Liverpool, being in several bands, then with The Beatles - all those stops on your walk of life, it's so far out. What would have happened if I’d emigrated to Texas to be near Lightnin’ Hopkins? We don’t know. I could have taken another path, but I took this one and ended up here, still on this Long Long Road. I loved making this record with T Bone and I hope you enjoy listening to it.”
“I've loved Ringo’s playing and his singing for my whole life,” T Bone stated. “And I always heard Ringo as a Texas artist; the way he played felt just like Texas music to me. Ringo Starr is a master musician and a recording artist of the highest caliber, and I wanted to surround him with these young masters, bringing in some of this extraordinary young energy that's happening around Nashville for both of these records.”
Long Long Road features 10 songs, 6 written or co-written by T Bone Burnett, two co-written by Ringo and Bruce Sugar, one written by Ringo Starr, Mark Hudson and Gary Burr and one by Bernie Benjamin and George David Weiss and recorded by Carl Perkins (full credits below):

Between 1970 and 2026, Ringo has released 22 solo studio records and 5 consecutive EPs, between 2020 and 2024. He has acted in over 15 films, received an Academy Award®, and has been nominated as an actor for an Emmy®. Ringo has published 9 books including his latest, Beats & Threads (Julien’s Auctions); had a stint as a male fashion model, and that same year went behind the lens as the photographer for some Foo Fighters PR photos. Ringo is also a visual artist and has had numerous exhibitions of his work and his “Peace Sculpture” is on permanent display in the Beverly Hills Park. In 2008 Ringo began dedicating his July 7 birthday to promoting Peace and Love and the movement has grown to include events all over the planet and into the stars with support from NASA. In 2018, Ringo was knighted and as of 2026 he has celebrated 37 years of touring with his All Starr Bands.

In the UK the album reached a significant career milestone, securing Starr his first solo #1 album, overtaking Taylor Swift when Look Up claimed the top spot on the Official Country Chart.
