The return of original producer Steve Osborne and a guest appearance by a Rolling Stone highlight Starsailor's upcoming fourth album.

Tentatively titled "All the Plans," the album features Stones guitarist Ron Wood on the track "All The Plans We Made," Starsailor frontman James Walsh tells Billboard.com. "We kept asking him if he'd be up for playing some guitar on the record, and at the time he was busy promoting the film ('Shine a Light')," Walsh says. "So there were a couple of months there where he just wasn't available to do it.

"Then I got a call about half past six one evening from his son Jesse saying, 'My dad really wants to do this now. Can you be at the studio (at) nine o'clock?' So from having sort of given up the ghost it all came together out of the blue. It was amazing; he stood there playing the guitar, saying the song reminded him of 'Maggie May' -- quite high praise, indeed."

Starsailor???  :aimama  :interestingstuffronnie

why, oh why does Ronnie have to contribute to the most boring band I've heared in ages? WHY?

3 times I had to endure them on the ABB-tour - they were truly sickening.

It's not fair  :Youmakeagrownmancrylikejoey :warhorse :pukey

Egon's gonna cry when he sees this.

even if John Lennon, Elvis and Buddy Holly came back from the dead, to help collaborate on a Starsailor album ,it would still be a tiresome, uninteresting dirge.

Starsailors'  sound is sooo late 90's  :aimama

Never heard of them. Are they big in Europe or something?

Absolutly NOT !
I believe they don't have a single fan.

Ronnie must be doing it out of charity...for starving musicians or misplaced persons or whatever....

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Maybe Starsailor will reciprocate and be the "dwarfs" at Leah's wedding....

Wow ~ another wacky idea of Ronnie's! First the dwarfs, now playing for an unpopular band! Does Ronnie say yes to everything?
