Summary

Ringo Starr joins for a wide-ranging conversation that blends music history, storytelling, and pure joy. They reflect on his time with The Beatles and shares never-before-heard stories behind iconic tracks like “Come Together” and “Strawberry Fields Forever.” He dives into his intuitive drumming style, why he “never plays the same thing twice,” and how some of the band’s most legendary moments came together by accident. Plus, Ringo talks about his new album Long, Long Road, working with T-Bone, and why country, blues, and Motown continue to shape his sound.
