Uncut
The title track ends proceedings on a high, with Sheryl Crow on backing vocals, a smattering of mandolin and a semi-surreal spoken interlude in which Starr sounds ever so zen. It ends, as it surely should, with a single snare shot, delivered like the most emphatic of full stops. Print edition only

It has indeed been a “long, long road,” and the thing worth celebrating is that an 85-year-old man with all the money in the world still enjoys that old-timey Americana music enough to make more of it. This album is a nice window into that joy

Burnett's production gives the affair both refined sheen and rustic charm, and Starr's voice has barely aged since he first sang about being under the sea
