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]

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]

The song was later included on Starr's greatest hits albums Blast from Your Past[11] and Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo Starr.[12] In 2015, it was included on the album Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City,[13] released to accompany the similarly titled exhibition at the Country Music Hall of Fame.[14]
