Ringo Starr's 'Look Up' Marks His Best Solo Work in Decades

The former Beatle teams up with T. Bone Burnett for a roots-inspired album blending Americana, country, and rock influences.

Ringo Starr's 21st studio album, 'Look Up,' has been widely praised as his strongest work since the 1970s, showcasing his enduring musical creativity at age 84.
Produced by T. Bone Burnett, the album features a blend of Americana, early rock 'n' roll, and country-inspired tracks, though some critics debate whether it qualifies as a true country record.
The album includes standout tracks like 'Time on My Hands,' 'Come Back,' and 'I Live for Your Love,' which explore themes of aging, loneliness, and living in the moment, delivered in Starr's distinctive vocal style.
A star-studded roster of collaborators, including Alison Krauss, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, and Joe Walsh, contributes to the album's rich and textured sound.
Critics highlight the album's nostalgic nods to Starr's Beatles-era country influences, while noting its modern production and heartfelt performances.
