12 all-new recordings of iconic Rolling Stones songs, re-imagined in the Chicago blues style and played by today’s greatest Chicago blues artists

"The Stones came back from England after they started selling such tremendous amounts of records and told the Americans who we were [...]. Without those guys we’d still be, I guess, less unknown then what we are today..."

Great, thanks Lien!

Mick Jagger backs Buddy Guy on new Chicago blues museum record

One highlight is a rendition of "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" sung by Buddy Guy and Mick Jagger. The two have performed live together; this is thought to be their first recording together. Jagger hangs back on the track: "He didn't want to override Buddy's presence," says Sona Wang, Chicago Blues Experience CEO. "He complemented (Guy) in a respectful way." The Stones, Wang adds, "have so much love and respect for these Chicago musicians." Four of the Rolling Stones are on Chicago Blues Experience's artists board.

Nice - that short snippet is great.

I didn't listen to all the clips, but that Billy Boy Arnold version of Play With Fire also sounds good.
And that gospel/blues version of Gimme Shelter by Leanne Faine - oh yeah it's smokin!

This could actually be much better than B&L!!!

When I pressed play on the sample for John Primer doing "Let It Bleed" my first thought was "Is that the backing track from 'Just Your Fool'"??? Obviously it's not but the similarities were confusing my brain for sure!

Although I haven't submitted my credit card information yet, I'm thinking that there will be a purchase made in my near future. Based on the samples I've heard, I like it so far!

Peace,

Wow, just from the Buddy / Mick clip I just made the purchase, cd & download. It's downloading now!!

sounds great, but the shipping costs to Europe are absurd (downloading is not real option – I don't want no mp3s)

the download is AIF files, basically wave/flac

Based on the snippets I've heard, I'd say that some numbers are strong ("Sympathy", "Angie", "Doo Doo Doo Doo"), others sounds less interesting to me ("Play With Fire" sounds like it lacks the menace of the original). provided that I rate the original versions way higher that these covers, I think I'll buy it anyway due to the ridiculously good hamonica playing I've heard in it.

Ordered -Thanks!!

"I Go Wild" is interesting : it sounds like "I Just Wanna Make Love To You"!?

Ah, this took me by suprise! Sounds great Angie and Miss You stands out, and of course DDDDD (Heartbreaker) is great. The guitar on Play With Fire is very nice. I have to get this album! Not often I hear other artists playing stones as interesting as it sounds like hear. But then again, I am a big fan of the Chicago blues......

There was a House of Blues-sponsored album like this in the 90's (Paint It Blue?) that I played a lot.

Yes! I had that.

Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and Larry McCray played Ventilator Blues on Paint it Blues. It was really great as far I as remember.

The new CD seems to sound good.

Listening now to the new version with Buddy and Mick. Very cool stuff!

sounds great!

Wow...thanks for posting this! I just placed my order. Very cool...

Yup, and someone Youngblood did a nice Moonlight Mile

Thanks lien ... purchased...BANG!!!!

Cant wait to read the comments ....



ROCKMAN

Great versions and song selections on this.
Literally had me dancing in the kitchen as I made spaghetti dinner

Heartbreaker, Beast of Burden and I go Wild are initial standouts for me..

Very few lyric changes, liked the updated Satisfaction "Can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke the same kind of Reefer as me.." Sympathy has the "Who Killed the Kennedy's" lyric included and "The Police in Chicago chased a boy".. has been subbed for NY.

Angie is COOL!!!!!!!!!

I GO WILD sounds fantastic. How did the Stones not get it THIS right?

Dead Flowers sounds like if John Mooney covered it.

Pretty cool.

Thank you for the tip

Angie, I Go Wild and Play With Fire are fantastic!

Listen to the clips it sounds cool, though I have the impression that of some songs little remains behind the tipical blues chords which could be pretty much anything
nice listen though
looking forward to hear the whole thing
covers, faithful to or different from the original, are great if they're done with heart and art

yes

they're blues interpretations..

excellent sounding imo..

i love how some songs have very little in common with the Stones original.. Gimme Shelter for example

but it has got stark blues feeling like Gimme Shelter needs to have.
