The Liverpool born artist, whose real name is Richard Starkey, said: “I’m blessed to have T Bone (Burnett) in my life right now and working with me on these records.
“After we did the last record, which I love listening to, this one just sort of happened.
“I like to say sometimes I make the right moves, like you can go left or right at any point, and one of the right moves was hooking up with T Bone for Look Up, and now for this one, which I’m calling Long Long Road, because I’ve been on a long long road.”
Recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles, the album has a country and Americana sound and features some of the same band-members from Look Up.
Sir Ringo added that the album includes musical influences from guitarist Carl Perkins and said: “I recorded two Carl Perkins songs with The Beatles, and both T Bone and I wanted one on this record and he found this beautiful track I’d never heard before, I Don’t See Me In Your Eyes Anymore.”
Burnett is an american record producer and guitarist who played with Bob Dylan in the 1970s. Burnett has won a number of Grammys and an Oscar for his film soundtracks including O Brother Where art Thou and Walk the Line.
He said the pair decided to write a song after attending a poetry reading together, praising the musician for being of the “highest calibre”.
He said: “I’ve loved Ringo’s playing and his singing for my whole life.
“I wrote him a Gene Autry type song because I always heard Ringo as a Texas artist, the way he played felt just like Texas music to me.”
Long Long Road will be released on 24 April.
