R & B ROOTS

So as I mentioned in the previous posting, I felt that the Stones early LP's were by far my own personal favorites and still are. It was part of the Stones roots to play American Rhythm and Blues material. It was very common that that would play the music of Otis Redding, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, among so many others. Here's some of that music that influenced their style in the early years

SPEAKING IN TONGUES

 

As the world knows the Rolling Stones recently celebrated their 50th anniversary this past year as being the world's greatest rock and roll band. I myself prefer the early Stones work over the latter. I say that their rhythm and blues influenced LP's from 63 to 68 are my own personal favorites. I began to pay less attention to the their works after the Sticky Fingers release. The Stones to me will always be the band that included Brian Jones and Bill Wyman. I have put together a few songs that are some of own favorites with the twist that they are covered by other artists.Of course they have that 24hrdejavu touch about them.I would say the greatest tribute to any musician would be when other artists play your music. Some of these versions are quite good and many have a unique presentation. The Stones have given us some truly great songs in their 50 year history
