Less than a month before Ringo Starr is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the former Beatle will be releasing a new album.
Postcards from Paradise will be released on March 31 by Universal Music and is his first album to feature a song written and recorded in the studio with his All Starr Band. The group currently includes Todd Rundgren, Steve Lukather, Gregg Rolie, Richard Page, Warren Ham and Gregg Bissonette.
As usual, Starr enlisted a group of friends to play on the album, including Joe Walsh, Benmont Tench, Peter Frampton, Richard Marx, Ann Marie Simpson, Amy Keys, Dave Stewart, Nathan East and Glen Ballard.
The album is Starr’s first solo album since the oddly short Ringo 2012, which actually included re-recorded versions of two past solo songs. This time, though, Starr didn’t re-record anything, although there will probably be an “It Don’t Come Easy” reference or two.
Starr will be the last member of the Beatles to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist when he receives the Award for Musical Excellence on April 18.
