Starr continues to say, "Beauty And Ruin is the most deeply-personal project I've ever done. Having John Oates and so many talented writers and players involved has truly been a rewarding journey. The fact that the album is based on my grandfather's book is icing on the cake!"

- John Oates, Producer / Artist says, "It is like watching a movie. "The cinematic aural landscape visually evokes a classic tale of tragedy, love gone wrong and an exploration of human nature and all its flaws."
- Melissa Clarke, Americana Highway says, "The entire project is an "aha!" moment: the concept of writing songs to tell the tales of a haunting book's characters. And more than that, "Beauty and Ruin" pinpoints the essence of the human experience."
