Followsing the country musician’s live rendition of the 1976 single at Ringo & Friends at the Ryman, the two-hour CBS special recorded in January that airing on March 10, Mickey Guyton‘s latest studio recording re-imagines Ringo Starr‘s “You Don’t Know Me at All.”
While Starr’s original recording was a classic pop production, Guyton’s take on of the record is soulful and largely piano-based. And taking to Instagram, the Grammy award winning songstress wrote “It’s truly the greatest honor to record and put my spin on @ringostarrmusic’s ‘You Don’t Know Me at All.”
The former-Beatles’ two-night stint at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville was put on in support of the American Red Cross and Los Angeles residents impacted by the recent wildfires and featured appearances from more than a dozen guest artists.
While Mickey performed “It Don’t Come Easy” with Starr, Sheryl Crow, and Molly Tuttle sand “You Don’t Know Me at All”, and joined Starr for “Yellow Submarine” and “With a Little Help From My Friends” alongside the rest of the night’s guests, including Rodney Crowell, Emmylou Harris, Sarah Jarosz, Jamey Johnson, Brenda Lee, Larkin Poe, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, the War and Treaty, and Jack White.
About the event Starr said “It is always a thrill to play the Ryman and this time we are going country.” “T Bone [Burnett, producer] has put together a great show. It was two nights of peace, love and country music.”
“There is not a single person in the world who has generated more goodwill than Ringo Starr, and I write this without hyperbole.” “Ringo has been singing and playing country music since before he joined the Beatles, and many, if not most, of his recordings with that band were country songs,” added Burnett.
