Ringo Recruits Macca For New Album!

Paul McCartney will appear on Ringo Starr's next album, Y Not.

McCartney has played bass and added vocals to two tracks - Peace Dream and Walk With You. The latter was written by Starr and Van Dyke Parks.

"Paul was doing the Grammys, so he came over to the house and was playing bass on Peace Dream," Starr revealed. "I played him this other track and Paul said, 'Give me the headphones. Give me a pair of cans'. And he went to the mic and he just invented that part where he follows on my vocal. That was all Paul McCartney, and there could be nothing better. He makes it bigger and he makes it fuller. It makes the song like a conversation between us, and that was Paul's idea to do his part one beat behind me. That's why he's a gen-i-us and an incredible bass player."

"I was the least involved in the production of the Beatles' records. And then [the same] with my solo records," added Starr. "Then suddenly it's another point in your life, and you say, 'I'm going to do this now'. So I'll be producing everything I make from now on. That's the good news. It's a confidence thing, I suppose. And Y Not is really another way of me saying, 'Yes I Can.'"

Joss Stone, Joe Walsh and Ben Harper are also set to appear on the record when it's released on January 12, 2010.
