But I was unclear - I was referring to Charlie Watts' wonderful jazz band. He's completely into jazz and he's a founding Stone.
I've seen his jazz acts many, many times and he's brilliant!
i was playing reggae all day yesterday, but i wasn't looking very natty dread
This is what i wanted to say.
thanks, i agree.

Time Waits For No One...kind of.
Not even after a while?
I agree with this. Neither Mick nor Keith would fall under the category of blues. True, they have been influenced by blues, particularly at the beginning of their career. But also by country (more than blues IMO), funk, reagee, rap ;-)
They are rock'n'roll band. Of course that I love to see when Jagger is singing the blues, in the same way that I like Richards performing country.
Mick being invited, find it kind of funny. In the same manner, if there would be celebration of rock'n'roll or british rock (60's), they should invite Justin Timberlake or Britney Spears - they did excatly the same thing to younger generations as the Stones couple of decades ago
Terrifying is somewhat jazz.
Parts of it anyhoo.
100% correct. They were blues 'wannabes' when they started for a few years adn do still try to stir up that voodoo, and they certainly raised blues awarness, but they're not blues.
Blues is SO MUCH MORE than what any of them are capable of, together or apart.

This is downright silly:
[artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com]
Never mind that Mick Jagger is not primarily known as a blues singer.
Uhhmmm, weren't Mick and all of the Stones completely into the blues (and jazz)?
EDIT: Apologies if this has been posted earlier!

The only time the Stones were into jazz was when Mick Taylor played guitar on Can't You Hear Me Knocking. They never played jazz before or after that.

I think the article is pretty accurate. Mick ISN'T primarily known as a blues singer. BB King, Buddy Guy, Keb Mo & Gary Clarke Jr. are all renowned blues musicians. I Love Mick & Keith and their blues but I don't think that I'd label either of them as actual blues musicians.
Blues Fans = Yes
Blues Supporters = Yes
Blues Advocates = Yes
Blues Singer (Mick) = Not Really, Sometimes
Blues Guitarist (Keith) = Kinda, Sorta, Sometimes, but again, Not Really
There is no doubt in my mind that much of the Stones music is bluesy, blues-based, blues-influenced. That doesn't make them blues musicians, a blues band or blues artists. Could they be if they wanted to? Probably. Have both Keith & Mick done their homework, studied & paid their dues? Sure. But when the band hits the stage or the studio, more often than not, they're playing something other than the blues.
On a side note: They've done a lot of country music as well. Studied it, learned it and been influenced by it. Would anyone call them country musicians/singers?
Peace,
Mr DJA

The stones cant match that, not even by far!!

He can sing the blues....but probably not while feeling the blues.
Thats how blues singers of old distinguish themselves.
Heck, I was singing the blues just this weekend with a couple friends and a couple beers. I wasn't feeling the blues though.

Funny if you ask Mick though, he considers himself a blues singer. I've heard the interviews. He certainly isn't a blues singer as far as I'm concerned. He's a singer and frontman for a Rock and Roll band. period. peace

Well, they started out as blues epigons. But they are a rock & roll band really. It's a very hard for a London middle-class boy to have any real credibility as a blues singer in the long run.

However, The Rolling Stones' greatest contribution to the blues was bringing it to another (whiter) audience. Which benefited not only themselves but bluessingers like Muddy waters also. They were instrumental in spreading the message of the blues so to speak.
