On the other hand, Ringo Starr also praised T Bone Burnett, stating, “I’m blessed to have T Bone in my life right now and working with me on these records.”
“After we did the last record, which I love listening to, this one just sort of happened. I like to say sometimes I make the right moves, like you can go left or right at any point, and one of the right moves was hooking up with T Bone for Look Up, and now for this one, which I’m calling Long Long Road, because I’ve been on a long long road,” he added.
