They have done good work somewhat together...Bernard's quite excellent new album ('Friends With Privileges') has Lisa, Ron Wood, Waddy Wachtel (talking extended family, of course, not just current tour), Darryl Jones, Ivan Neville, Shaun Solomon (Wood's bassist on '92-93 tour) on it...Bernard's Nickelbag albums from '96 & '97 had Lisa, Darryl, Ron Wood, etc, and B.F. was on several Charlie, Ron, Mick, & Keith albums (btw the CW/Keltner Project featured Mick, G. Recile, Blondie C., & Keith), ...Ivan Neville's cds since "Thanks" in '95 have included Wachtel, Keith, Ron, Charley Drayton, Steve Jordon, George Recile, etc; Hubert Sumlin's last had Blondie, Keith, Recile, Rob Frabroni, plus Levon Helm & David Johansen...The Tim Ries Project...Lots of Stones (group & individual) collaborations since the '90s have some extended in-laws, be it Darryl, Bernard, Keys, etc...And Blondie & Bernard have gigged together, haven't they?, tho not in my town...
