There were other possibilities, but this is the path I followed, and I’m still on it.” Burnett emphasized Starr’s musical identity and the collaborative direction of the recordings: “I’ve always considered Ringo’s playing and singing to reflect a strong connection to American roots traditions, particularly Texas music.
