Ringo 2012 is the fabulous sound of a man you know and love working in the groove of a lifetime and making an album with nine songs that vividly reflect his life yesterday and today.

'This album is me doing what I do here and now,' says Ringo, 'and nobody's more qualified to do that than I am!'

Ringo 2012 finds Starr working with a little help from his musical friends including guitarist Joe Walsh, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Michael Bradford, Steve Dudas, Charlie Haden, Amy Keys, Kelly Moneymaker, Richard Page, Van Dyke Parks, Dave Stewart, Bruce Sugar, Benmont Tench, Don Was, & Edgar Winter. But more than ever, the focus on Ringo 2012 is firmly on the man calling the shots - Ringo - who produced the album, just as he did 2010's Y Not.
