And when I asked T Bone to write me a song, I didn't even think at the time that it would be a country song – but of course it was, and it was so beautiful. I had been making EPs at the time and so I thought we would do a country EP -but when he brought me nine songs I knew we had to make an album! And I am so glad we did. I want to thank, and send Peace and Love, to T Bone and all the great musicians who helped make this record.
It was a joy making it and I hope it is a joy to listen to." Fans can catch Sir Ringo performing tracks from his new Country .
