Ringo Starr - "Liverpool 8" (2008)

Posted about 4 years ago


We've been playing Ringo's latest album on the air the past two days. It hits the streets on January 15th, 2008. The album is packed with twelve songs but his first single from the album "Liverpool 8" is autobiographical and there's a video as well!

Check out his official website at:

Ringo Starr has already been featured two days in a row on "Early Show" on CBS and this Friday January 12th, the same network show will join Ringo as he returns to Liverpool for a hometown performance with his "Liverpool 8" co-producer, Dave Stewart, to commence the city’s 2008 Capital of Culture celebrations. Following that week’s international promotion, Ringo will travel to New York and Los Angeles for several national TV and radio performances and interviews, including ABC’s “LIVE with Regis & Kelly,” A&E’s “Private Sessions,” CBS’ “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” NBC’s “Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” National Public Radio’s “World Café,” and VH1 Classic’s new interview series, “Inside Track.” VH1 Classic will also air Ringo’s “VH1 Storytellers” special several times around the release of "Liverpool 8". The album's 12 original tracks were all co-written by Ringo 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 Ringo on the album's songwriting and recording are (in alphabetical order): Gary Burr, Steve Dudas, Mark Hudson, Sean Hurley, Zac Rae, and Dave Stewart.

  1. dermahrk says I was unaware Hudson had anything to do with this album since the falling out between Ringo and him. My copy is literally in the mail and should be there when I get home Friday night. I need to hear this a couple more times. It didn't really grab me on first listen.

  4. FastRMacR says Very nice tune! Agreed - will put this in grateful queue. I've been soaking up my "Photograph" album/dvd since getting on August 28th. Ringo is still the best -surrounding himself with the best. Thanks for this post! _I swear I am going to Liverpool someday, I am, and I'm gonna see Menlove!_

  9. AA Coppertop says I saw dianne's avatar somewhere before; seemed like a National Lampoon thing, but that's an anachronism. Ah, here we are:
