In an announcement of his upcoming album "Give Till It's Gone", Ben Harper has revealed that Ringo Starr co-wrote and performs on two tracks, "Spilling Faith" and the instrumental "Get There From Here." The album is to be released May 17 on Virgin Records.
Harper and his Relentless7 band teamed up with Ringo on several dates to promote the release of the former Beatle's "Y Not" album. These included appearances on "The Jimmy Fallon Show," the PBS show "Live From the Artist's Den" and an up-close appearance at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. The two musicians worked well together. Harper also is a member of Fistful of Mercy, a group featuring Dhani Harrison.
Harper was also among the speakers at the dedication of Ringo's Hollywood Walk of Fame star last year.
