Hear Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and Joe Walsh’s Take on John Lennon’s ‘Grow Old With Me,’ from Ringo’s New LP Out 10/25

On Oct. 25, Ringo Starr will add to his legacy of music with a new album, What’s My Name.
The album, previewed recently with its title track, now has a second song out there for fans to hear in anticipation of the record.
But this isn’t just a new song — “Grow Old With Me” was originally written by John Lennon in 1980 as one of the final songs he wrote in his life, and for this new record, Ringo teamed up with old pals Paul McCartney and Joe Walsh to bring it back:
To recap, that’s Ringo on vocals, McCartney on bass and eagles legend Joe Walsh on guitar. That’s special.
In announcing the album, Starr said reimagining “Grow Old With Me” came about after a chance encounter with Double Fantasy producer Jack Douglas:
“Jack asked if I ever heard The Bermuda Tapes, John’s demos from that time,” Ringo recalls. “And I had never heard all this. The idea that John was talking about me in that time before he died, well, I’m an emotional person. And I just loved this song. I sang it the best that I could. I do well up when I think of John this deeply. And I’ve done my best. We’ve done our best. The other good thing is that I really wanted Paul to play on it, and he said yes. Paul came over and he played bass and sings a little bit on this with me. So John’s on it in a way. I’m on it and Paul’s on it. It’s not a publicity stunt. This is just what I wanted. And the strings that Jack arranged for this track, if you really listen, they do one line from “Here Comes The Sun.” So in a way, it’s the four of us.”
Here’s the title track to Ringo’s new record:
