Today Sir Ringo Starr releases his new EP Rewind Forward, with a couple of big collaborations.<\/p>\n
The four-track record\u2019s second song is called Feeling the Sunlight and was written by fellow surviving member of The Beatles, Sir Paul McCartney.<\/p>\n
The drummer said of the upbeat tune: \u201cWe were FaceTiming as we sometimes do, and I asked him if he had a song or would write one for this EP I am making.<\/p>\n
\u201cA week later he sent the track over and he’s all over it – which is great – playing EVERYthing\u2026”<\/p>\n
He added with a laugh: \u201cIncluding the drums!!!!! So, we had to take them off – I did the drums and the vocals.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Sir Ringo wrote Rewind Forward with his engineer and regular co-writer Bruce Sugar.<\/p>\n
The 83-year-old said: \u201cWe’ve been writing a song now for every EP. Rewind Forward was just one of those things I say, and it made sense in the moment. Like a Hard Days Night – I thought, why don’t we just Rewind Forward?<\/p>\n
\u201cTo make sense of it, sometimes it is good to go back and move forward from a place you left off, you don’t ever have to live in the past, but it is good to check it occasionally.”<\/p>\n
Opening track Shadows on the Wall was a collaboration with All Starr Steve Lukather and his Toto bandmate Joe Williams.<\/p>\n
The Beatles drummer said: \u201cI asked Luke for a song – him and Joe Williams – and they put meat on it – so I wasn’t just getting a basic track I have to add everything to – it has guitar and bass and all I have to do is add my vocals and drums. Of course, I always do the drums and sing – it is my EP!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Meanwhile, the fourth and final track on the EP is called Miss Jean, which was a collaboration with Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers.<\/p>\n
Sir Ringo said of the song: \u201cWe had played together on an Ian Hunter track (which was number 1 on the Heritage chart – whatever that chart is!) and I’d played on a Tom Petty track. But this was the first song Mike has ever written for me, which I loved.<\/p>\n
\u201cI put drums on it and sang it and he put everything else on it – that’s how it works.” That “everything else” also included the work of fellow Heartbreaker and one of Ringo’s dear friends Benmont Tench.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rewind Forward is out now on digital, CD and 10\u201d vinyl. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] Today Sir Ringo Starr releases his new EP Rewind Forward, with a couple of big collaborations.
