“He sent me a song that is the most beautiful country song I have heard in many years. It’s a kind of country from the 50’s. And so, I thought, well, I’ll simply make a country ep … Most of them are.
“[T Bone] He sent me a song that is the most beautiful country song I have heard in many years. “
The Beatles legend said that Starr, when Burnett visited Los Angeles, asked him to produce what the EP was at the time. Since the guitarist and producer told Starr that he had nine songs, he agreed to make an all -night album.
