Throwback Thursday: Ringo Starr – No No Song
Ringo Starr – No No Song
Album: Goodnight Vienna
Released: 1974
The “No No Song” was written by country music singer Hoyt Axton and bass player David Jackson. In a 2007 Time magazine interview, Ringo was asked about his most memorable guest artists in the studio, he replied: “Hoyt Axton was one of them on the Ringo album. We were doing ‘No No Song’ with the biggest spliff and a large bottle of Jack Daniel’s.” Ironically, the song is about someone who is repeatedly offered drugs and alcohol, but keeps turning them down. The song charted at #3 in the US.
