New book: "Undercover: 500 Rolling Stones covers that you must hear"
Posted by: Congratulations ()

Hi all,

I recently published a new book that may (or may not) be of interest:

UNDERCOVER: 500 ROLLING STONES COVER VERSIONS THAT YOU MUST HEAR!

by Peter Checksfield



Mick and Keith learned fast. Initially Rhythm ‘n’ Blues purists who believed that only ageing black Americans could write decent songs, they released their first original song ‘Stoned’ (a group-composed near-instrumental) as the UK B-side of their version of Lennon-McCartney’s ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’ in November 1963; within 18 months they had written and recorded ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’, and had become The Beatles’ biggest musical rivals. Now that is fast!

In the 60 years since they started, there have been thousands of Rolling Stones cover versions. Music historian Peter Checksfield listened to most of them (so you don’t have to), and came up with the best 500, in a staggering variety of genres: Rock, Blues, Soul, Garage, Psych, Prog, Beat, Reggae, Ska, Pop, Funk, Disco, Country, Folk, Bluegrass, Rockabilly, Glam, Metal, Punk, New Wave, Indie, Gothic, Grunge, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Bossa Nova, World, Gospel, Electronica, Boogie Woogie, Jazz, even Cabaret, Polka and Classical.

Also included are a mammoth 130 exclusive interviews with many of the musicians involved. Which former Rolling Stone recorded ‘Play With Fire’ in the 90s? Who’s favourite album is ‘Jamming with Edward’? What legendary Punk group wanted to cover the entire ‘Their Satanic Majesties Request’ but ran out of time after 1 song? Read on…

Well, I've been collecting Stones covers for decades, but the actual writing (including interviews) took I guess 6 months of mostly very long days/nights!

That's a most impressive list - presumably all studio versions on official releases?

Yes, impressive list!

What about the Slovenian band Laibach's versions of "Sympathy for the Devil"?

All are officially released recordings, but some (Blue Öyster Cult, Transvision Vamp, Terence Trent D’Arby, The Dream Syndicate, Ronnie Lane & Slim Chance + a few others) are from officially released live recordings rather than studio.

Haha! Problem with the 'warhorses' of course is that there are so many different versions to choose from.

I like it when artists cover a relatively obscure song, and then very much make it their own. For example, I'd never choose Frank Black & The Catholics' DOWN IN THE HOLE over the Stones, but kudos to him for covering the song in such a unique style:

Very well!

At least, Laibach makes versions of "Sympathy for the Devil" that are most spesial! I recommend to try and listen to some of those!

That one really deserves to be more widely known! Sadly Linda died in 2010.

Looks like an amazing work and a real labor of love - congratulations, Congratulations!

Curious as to what inspired you to omit certain covers like Flesh for Lulu's Jigsaw Puzzle, Rickie Lee Jones' Sympathy for the Devil, and a real classic (IMHO) Grand Funk's Gimme Shelter?

NO criticism intended, just curious, and thanks again for sharing!

Thank you! smiling smiley

Inevitably, we all have our own personal tastes. For those 3 songs, my favourites are probably Melanie, Linda Kendrick and Kathy Mattea, respectively, but each to their own of course.

Indeed! There are surprisingly few covers of such a well-known song, and this is the only one I found that I like (probably because he doesn't imitate the Stones).
