Long Long Road
Early on, about 1959, he was in a band called The Texans, in the capital of Ireland: Liverpool. I think that's what we should name the band on this record - The Texans.
Ringo Starr and The Texans
The Texans of Liverpool started as a skiffle band, the future Sir Richard playing washboard or beating rhythm on whatever box might be around, playing Rock Island Line-type folk music.
It is a short hop from there to rock and roll. You just add a bass drum and a snare drum. And cymbals. There is so much color in the cymbals.
But it is a long road from the mean streets of the Dingle, Merseyside, being born while bombs were falling, growing up loving Gene Autry, petitioning to move to Houston, Texas to live near Lightning Hopkins. Falling in love with Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Hank Williams. Blowing the world's mind killing Long Tall Sally at a whole other level, and inventing drums parts that influenced every drummer since. Filming The Magic Christian, hanging with Mae West.
I hear every mile of that road in his playing and in his singing. One of the most recognizable voices in the world telling you a story.
And to score that story, and those stories, The Texans.
All of them master musicians. Paul Franklin, Dennis Crouch, David Mansfield, Colin Linden, Sheryl Crow, Daniel Tashian, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Sarah Jarosz, Rory Hoffman on an instrument he invented, Patrick Warren, Annie Clark, and Ringo Starr playing the deepest rock and roll groove that is possible to play.
Ringo Starr and the Texans at this stop on a long, long road.
