Why are they letting the 30-something Ozzy producer take on the bass duties on HD?

Darryl was not available for the recording sessions due to other commitments.
And Andrew Watt doesn't play Bass on all tracks - [iorr.org] .

No one has ever claimed Darryl is the only bass player. He is a hired hand.

Even though Bill Wyman was a full-fledged member of The Rolling Stones for 30 years, he didn't play bass on every song on all the band's albums during that time period.

I'm still pretty much amazed that Darryl wouldn't want to be a part of the (probably) last ever Stones album ever.
Yes, I know that Bill and Paul are guesting, but that still leaves a lot of tunes where Darryl was expected to play on.
And as TumblinDice76 said, I've no doubt that AW prefers to play the bass on the album, I just think that something's weird about all of this!

Yes, but 'Living In A Ghost Town' was recorded & released in 2020.

I'm a bit surprised that they let Watt take on the bass duties on the album, what does this mean? I'm sure that Darryl is the technically better player... Why are they letting the 30-something Ozzy producer take on the bass duties on HD? Something just doesn't add up, I'm sure Darryl would have been more than happy/available to play on it!

Charlie's drum tracks for 'Mess It Up' and 'Live By The Sword' were recorded in 2019.

2019 & 2020 are the differences to the recording sessions of 2022-2023.
And 'Living In A Ghost Town' actually doesn't belong to Hackney Diamonds. It's just a bonus to justify the expensive Japanese prices for music releases.

Producer Jimmy Miller played drums and percussion on some of the songs from Exile On Main Street.

From Beggars Banquet and onward until he retired after Steel Wheels, bass duties were done by Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood on some songs.[/quote. You forgot Mick Taylor, on songs like Tumbling Dice and Fingerprint File.But none of them were Bill.Listen to Bill on the albums and live shows.He is always amazing with Charlie

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, but what's the deal? He's been on every album since Bill bailed after Steel Wheels.

If you have Keith in the studio -one of the tastiest bass players around, you have Ron Wood, you have Andrew Watt who's a fantastic bass player -why would you need to invite Darryl to the sessions? Especially since Darryl isn't a very good RnR player.

I am not really that big a fan of Keith, Taylor or even Wood as a bass player.On songs like Live With Me, the bass is more like a guitar.Bill is the bass player.His playing with Charlie was just great.It gave it the unique sound. Listening to live songs like from 1972 or Honky Tonk Women , he had a unique way of propelling the song.
