“I’m really, really, really blessed to be in this family that I’m in that came along with my wife, and I still get in the studio, and I’ll be playing guitar, and I’ll look over and go, ‘That’s fuckiing Ringo Starr.’ I don’t believe it. “He’s my brother-in-law, and he wants to involve me in making music, and what am I gonna say ‘no?'” said Walsh. Walsh briefly joined the former Beatle’s All-Starr band in 1989, playing with them on and off since, and married Starr’s wife’s sister, Marjorie Bach, in 2008. Produced entirely by Walsh, the musician also wrote and co-wrote six tracks on the album for Starr (credited by his real name Richard Starkey as a co-writer), including “Hopeless,” “Alibi,” “Be My Baby,” “Going Down,” “Everybody’s in a Hurry But Me,” along with late The Who bassist John Entwistle and Eric Clapton, and “In My Car.” Though Walsh and Ringo Starr first met in the mid-’70s during a jam session, they wouldn’t start collaborating until the early 1980s on Starr’s solo efforts, beginning with his ninth album, Old Wave. Written by Joe Walsh, Richard Starkey (Ringo Starr), Kim Goody, Mo Foster Here are five songs Walsh had a hand in writing for the two artists from the early ’80s through the late 2010s.

By then, Paul had a lot of practice sitting in for Ringo. “I don’t want to be in an old-fashioned recording studio anymore, really,” Starr said. Starr recorded the album at his home studio, Rocabella West, which he said creates a more communal atmosphere than a traditional studio. Along with McCartney and Hay, the record also features collaborations with Joe Walsh, Benmont Tench, Edgar Winter, Steve Lukather, Richard Page, Warren Ham, Windy Wagner and more. What’s My Name marks Starr’s 20th studio album and follows his 2017 album, Give More Love. With a title and hook pulled from a frequent refrain at Starr’s live shows, “What’s My Name” boasts a rambunctious rock and roll energy and finds Starr reminiscing about his career with a cheeky confidence. “Well I’ve seen it all from the mountains of Napal to Reno, Nevada,” he sings, “I’ve taken all the falls, I was climbing up the walls and now it doesn’t matter/Nothing stays the same, but I’m still in the game/What’s my name?
