"Beaucoups of Blues" is the title song from Ringo Starr's 1970 country album of the same name. It was released as Starr's first solo single on 5 October 1970 on Apple[nb 1][2] in several countries,[3] but not the UK, and entered the charts in both the US and Germany where it reached number 87 and number 43 respectively.[4][5] The song was written by Nashville singer-songwriter Buzz Rabin,[6] and appeared on his 1974 solo album Cross Country Cowboy.[7]

Starr recorded "Beaucoups of Blues" in Nashville during an overnight session on 25–26 June 1970.[8] He selected it from material compiled by Pete Drake, his producer, who had amassed a collection of potential songs from Nashville songwriters for Starr's country album.[9]

The B-Side "Coochy Coochy" was written by Starr.

Cash Box described the song as a "fine country single," further stating that it is "gentle and easy going and Ringo sounds right at home."[10] Record World said that "Ringo Starr's C&W warblings will not go unnoticed in either the country or pop fields."[11]

The song was later included on Starr's greatest hits albums Blast from Your Past[12] and Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo Starr.[13] In 2015, it was included on the album Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City,[14] released to accompany the similarly titled exhibition at the Country Music Hall of Fame.[15]
