VA - Chicago Plays The Stones [2018/FLAC]

 

They’ve been celebrating this music since the ’60s, but the Rolling Stones really amped up their adulation of the songs and giants of Chicago blues with their acclaimed 2016 album Blue and Lonesome.

There was always an irony in the fact that it took a British band to introduce much of America to the kings and queens of Chicago blues, but it was with the utmost sincerity that the Stones first covered these songs and then came to Chicago to be at Chess Studios and hang out with heroes like Muddy Waters. The gritty, urban, amplified and electrifying sound of Chicago blues was tapped by the original rock ’n’ rollers of the ’50s and even more so by the Rolling Stones starting in the mid-’60s. Blues titans like Muddy and Buddy Guy recognized and benefitted from the Stones’ outspoken adoration of them and their Windy City brethren, and a long-lasting cross-continental kinship was born.

Bill Wymans Rhythm Kings- The Kings Of Rhythm Vol.1 [4 CD, 2016/FLAC]

 

This box contains the first four releases from Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, the good-time ten-piece band that Bill Wyman put together after leaving the Rolling Stones in 1992. The band has a core rhythm section, but features a revolving combination of all-star guest front men and women. These four albums feature the talents of Gary Brooker, Georgie Fame, Albert Lee, Paul Carrack, Andy Fairweather Low, Chris Rea, Mike Sanchez, Beverley Skeete, Mick Taylor, Nicky Hopkins, Eric Clapton and Peter Frampton.

CDs 2 and 4 are recordings from the band’s live shows originally given a limited release as the ‘Bootleg Kings’, and unavailable for many years.

Nicky Hopkins, Ry Cooder, Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts - Jamming With Edward [1961,FLAC]

 


Jamming with Edward! is an album recorded by three members of The Rolling Stones with Nicky Hopkins and Ry Cooder at London's Olympic Studio during the Let It Bleed sessions of 1969, and released on Rolling Stones Records in 1972. Keith Richards had stormed out of the sessions for a few days in protest of producer Jimmy Miller's decision to bring Cooder in to beef up the guitars as Dave Mason did during the Beggars Banquet sessions.

On the strength of The Rolling Stones' association with the album, Jamming With Edward! reached #33 on the U.S charts, although it failed to reach the UK listings.
The eponymous Edward was pianist Nicky Hopkins, as in Edward the Mad Shirt Grinder, Hopkins' star turn on Quicksilver Messenger Service's album Shady Grove.
