The song is the latest from his upcoming country record

Ringo Starr has released “Thankful” featuring Alison Krauss. The track serves as the closer on his upcoming country record, Look Up, due on January 10th via UMG Nashville. This stunning collection marks Starr’s first country record in over 50 years, featuring 11 original songs produced by T. Bone Burnett and recorded this year in Nashville and Los Angeles. Nine of the 11 songs were written or co-written by Burnett, one by Billy Swan, and the other co-written by Starr and Bruce Sugar. Burnett enlisted some of Nashville’s finest and hottest talent for the record, including Billy Strings, Larkin Poe, Lucius, and Molly Tuttle. Starr’s lifelong love of country music has been apparent and celebrated throughout his illustrious career. He performed and wrote numerous country and country-tinged songs throughout his years with The Beatles (i.e. “Act Naturally,” “What Goes On,” “Don’t Pass Me By”) as well as with the earlier Rory Storm and The Hurricanes, and recorded a country album, Beaucoups of Blues, in 1970 as his second solo album. His love of country and the blues led him to try and emigrate from London to Texas while still a teen, after reading that Lightnin’ Hopkins lived in Houston.
