What do you think about a "Nothing but the Blues" album? On the studio outtake boots you can hear, that the Stones have a great blues feeling, it's their music. Hear "Place Pigalle", "Back in the USA", "Jamming with Stew" or "The Woodstock Rehearsals".

Yeah they built their trip on it man...but what's ya fave Johnson track?

All the songs, but particularly "From Four until Late" and "Love in Vain".

I kill around Terraplane, buckle under 32-20 and sweat at the second run of Traveling Riverside...calm to Kitchen and drink with the devil during Hellhound.

well, the blue light was my blues and the red light was my mind ... taking me in some long, long distant land ...

Wellllll... Blind Lemon sang those lines in his Dry Southern Blues about a decade before Robert recorded Vain

One train's at the depot with the red and blue lights behind
One train's at the depot with the red and blue lights behind
Well, the blue light's the blues, the red light's the worried mind.

Do you know the Stones version of 32-20? It's taped during a rehearsing session in the '70 I guess. Mick prominent in the mix, one guitar (I guess Keith) and Charlie on drums ...

====Do you know the Stones version of 32-20? It's taped during a rehearsing session in the '70 ++++

Damn, why won't they release some of those gems....we're dying to hear them.

#......Go ahead....Bite the Big Apple....Don't mind the Maggots.....Uh Huh...#

Didn't they do "32-20" during the 1972 "Dallas Rehearsals?"

Supposedly, there's a "Hellhound On My Trail" from the "Steel Wheels" sessions.

Can you imagine the Stones doing not only Johnson, ("Preaching Blues?" Come On In My Kitchen?") but Little Walter (my current obsession), and some Bo Diddley covers as well as some Jimmie Rodgers and maybe some Hank Williams tunes?

Throw in some soul and reggae and maybe an original or two and it could be an alltime Stones record...Get Jack White to produce. Along with the Fat possum guys.

I say we start a petition.

Also: remember Jagger's (or Turner's) "I'm Bad Like Jesse James?" It's time for the Stones to do some John Lee hooker material.

All those early bluesmen borrowed each other's lyrics. Stuff like "I got a big fat mama, meat shaking on her bones" and "I'm worried now but I won't be worried long" shows up continually in pre-war blues.

I guarantee it would be better recieved and probably sell more than A Bigger Bang has and will. I saw ABB in the bargain racks the other day. Sad.

Yes, on the studio boots there's a lot of blues material, some covers and many spontaneous blues jams, on "Place Pigalle" (second CD) for example an instrumental with harp, piano, upright bass, drums, called "After Hours". It's really incredible, that feeling. The bass (Keith?) is marvelous, and the harp (Mick?) too. But I guess that Mick is on the piano and they have some guests during the session.
