Ringo Starr goes country and Kelsea Ballerini takes next step with Chase Stokes | Music City Minute

Oct 22, 2024, 5:06 PM

Pop and Rock n Roll legend Ringo Starr is going country. Next year, the former Beatles member will be releasing an eleven-song record called “Look Up.” The new album will feature collaborations with Alison Krauss, Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle. The first single, “Time On My Hands,” is available for streaming now. Interestingly, this is actually Starr’s second career country record. His first dates back to 1970 and was called “Beaucoups of Blues.”
Kelsea Ballerini has released the official music video for her song, “First Rodeo.” The beautiful video features a very special guest, Chase Stokes. It was a no-brainer casting Stokes. Aside from being her boyfriend, he is also a professional actor. Plus, the song itself tells a personal story of Ballerini letting herself be vulnerable and getting a second chance at love (with Chase) after her first rodeo ended in heartache.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
