324: Recording with Ringo with Bruce Sugar

About this episode

Bruce Sugar shares his experiences working with Ringo Starr and other musicians in the studio.

Since 2003, Ringo Starr has been producing an incredibly prolific run of releases: albums and EPs, plus live recordings. With him on this journey of multiple producers and supporting musicians has been engineer Bruce Sugar, the one constant. Bruce comes with stories and observations about working with the world's most beloved drummer, including alongside Sir Paul McCartney in the studio (including an upcoming duet), as well as on the "last Beatles song, "Now and Then." It's a delightful dose of positivity (as well as peace and love) to hear what Bruce has to say, including work on the upcoming Long, Long Road. Learn more about your ad choices.
