CHICAGO BLUES GREATS
JOIN MICK JAGGER AND KEITH RICHARDS
ON HISTORIC NEW ALBUM
OUT NOW ON RAISIN’ MUSIC RECORDS
Buddy Guy, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and two generations of Chicago
blues stars unite to give the songs of The Rolling Stones a remarkable
rebirth. Stripping those rock songs down to their Chicago-blues essence is
not only an idea that's inventive and unprecedented, it's also an idea that
makes perfect sense. Chicago Plays The Stones (September 14 / Raisin’
Music Records), the first project of its kind to include Jagger and Richards,
brings the songs of Mick and Keith back to their spiritual home and their
point of origin, cementing a 55-year love affair that changed the
course of music.
Just as fate brought Jagger and Richards together in a chance meeting on
a train facilitated by the Muddy Waters record Keith was carrying, fate
landed this project into the hands of Don Was, who happened to be producing The Stones’ own tribute to Chicago blues, Blue & Lonesome. He played
it for Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who loved the versions of their music
and made their own contributions: Mick on Buddy Guy’s hairraising “Doo
Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker),” and Keith on Jimmy Burns’ rollicking,
loose-limbed “Beast of Burden.”
