Ringo Starr Gets Help From Paul McCartney on New Album

London, England (CNS) – Ringo Starr has gotten help from his Beatles pal Paul McCartney on his new album. The two remaining members of the Fab Four are set to collaborate on two new songs for Starr’s upcoming album “Y Not.”

Starr said that McCartney played bass on “Peace Dream,” explaining, “Paul was doing the Grammys, so he came over to the house and was playing bass on ‘Peace Dream.’ So I played him this other track and Paul said, ‘Give me the headphones. Give me a pair of cans.’ And he went to the mike and he just invented that part where he follows on my vocal.”

“That was all Paul McCartney, and there could be nothing better.”

Starr said McCartney made it “bigger and fuller,” making it like a “conversation between us.” He also credited his pal for being a “gen-i-us” and an incredible bass player.

McCartney also provided vocals for the album’s first single, “Walk With You,” a new composition by Starr and Van Dyke Parks.

“Y Not” also features familiar and new names in the industry, such as Joe Walsh, Dave Stewart, Joss Stone, Richard Marx, and Glen Ballard among many others. It will be released January 12.
