RINGO STARR Y Not (2010 US limited edition 10-track LP pressed on 180gram VIRGIN VINYL - for the first time ever, Starr produces himself on his most personal album yet. 'Y Not' sees Ringo joined on writing & musical collaborations by old and new friends including longtime pal and recent brother-in-law Joe Walsh, Dave Stewart, longtime Roundheads member Steve Dudas on guitar, Benmont Tench of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on keyboards, Don Was and Mike Bradford on bass, as well as some special guests featuring Joss Stone, BenHarper and Richard Marx on vocals, Ann Marie Calhoun on violin and Tina Sugandh [aka Tina The Tabla Girl] on tabla and chanting. Yet no collaborator featured on 'Y Not' is likely to receive as much attention as Starr's former bandmate and longstanding mate Paul McCartney, who adds a characteristically brilliant bass part to the inspiring 'Peace Dream', Starr's latest heartfelt plea for peace and love, and even more notably provides his unmistakably fabulous vocals to the 1st single, 'Walk With You,' an exquisite new composition by Starr and Van Dyke Parks.
