前作『Look Up』に続く待望の新作。カントリー音楽の確かな基盤を持ちながら、人生の様々な旅路と道中で見つける愛を歌った楽曲群は、Ringoのクラシック・ロックのルーツと相まって、気楽なアメリカン・ミュージックの雰囲気を醸し出している。NashvilleとLAでレコーディングされたこのアルバムには、『Look Up』で演奏したミュージシャンが引き続き数多く参加。Paul Franklin、David Mansfield、Dennis Crouch、Daniel Tashian、Rory Hoffman、Patrick Warren、Colin Lindenから成るコア・バンド(T Bone BurnettはRingoが1959年に所属していたリヴァプールのバンドに因み、親しみを込めて彼らを"The Texans"と呼んでいる)も再集結。『Long Long Road』の収録曲10曲のうち、6曲はT Bone Burnettが単独あるいは共同で作曲したもの。その他2曲はRingoとBruce Sugarの共作、1曲はRingoとMarc HudsonとGary Burrの共作、1曲はBenny BenjaminとGeorge David Weissが作曲し、Carl Perkinsが録音した楽曲のカヴァーを収録。CDジュエル・ケース仕様。
