RINGO STARR, GEORGE HARRISON, AND JOE WALSH FEATURED ON GARY WRIGHT'S NEW ALBUM
5/6/2010
Ringo Starr and Joe Walsh have teamed up on a new track by the "Dream Weaver" himself Gary Wright on his new album Connected, which is due out on June 8th. The track, called "Satisfied" will also be the album's lead single, and will be available starting May 18th.
As a bonus to those who buy Connected on iTunes and TheDreamWeaver.com, Wright is including two songs linked closely to his good friend George Harrison -- the ballad called "To Discover Yourself" which Wright co-wrote with Harrison in 1971 and was recorded by Wright on the day of Harrison's passing on November 29th, 2001, and the other song, recorded in 1989, titled "Never Give Up," which features Harrison on guitar.
Wright will once again be part of Ringo Starr's All Starr Band this summer. We asked him what it was like to be out on the road with Ringo for the 2008 All Starr run: "Oh Ringo, he's the best. The kindest, most compassionate, up person. Y'know, I never saw him in a bad mood. Y'know, he'd get on the plane and 'How's everybody doin'? We all ready. . . " Always just like, totally up and very, very concerned about everybody, and (laughs) funnier than hell all the time. It was a joy, an absolute joy to work with him."
