| REVIEW: |
In
1992 Mick Jagger evidently had a blues year, since it started with the mid May sessions in Los Angeles with the Red Devils group, these sessions have been released on many CDs and now for the first time on vinyl: while working on his solo album Wandering Spirit, Mick took a brief night out in a Los Angeles club jamming with the Red Devils a blues band that allowed him to go back to his roots. He loved them and decided to try to record some blues standards with them. The recordings were supposed to be released but came in the way of Jagger promoting his solo album and have been postponed too many times, an unknown member of the Red Devils, frustrated with continuous delays gave a cassette tape of the session away.
Possibly produced by Rick Rubin these sessions have been focus of many bootlegs, the tape held "A rare collection of fiery blues recorded live in the studio" as written on the cover of The Nature Of My Game, the first CD release of the sessions from Mecca; the album came out also from Rabbit Records as Famous Blues Sessions containing all takes, even the ones hardly listenable marred by hiss; later Blues With A Feeling by VGP with a selected number of takes before receiving equalizing treatment by Mickboy on Mean Ol' World by Torn & Frayed, about each release with its own songs order. Last year it was Sister Morphine's turn, after last year one track "Checking Up On My Baby" was officially released on The Very Best of Mick Jagger showing the raw punch and blues style excellence the song offered and increasing fans regret for not having the whole set available officially. This release presents a good sound output in very good stereo, great quality is on the packaging with great high gloss cover sleeve and nice thick black or red vinyl. At the end of June then Jagger held a Celebration of The Blues night in
London's Hammersmith Odeon: the concert had Gary Moore, Buddy Guy and fellow Stones Charlie Watts and Ron Wood. Side B of Disc Two presents excerpts from this concert in very good quality. This is a nice release in a very good sound.
