Michael Fitzgerald Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 The Rolling Stones haven't been British since 1971 when they moved to the south of France as "tax exiles" because the UK Inland Revenue was hunting them down for back taxes. Mike Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 Reminds me how a local paper here in Lansing had a Top 5 All Time Greatest Rock Albums and they listed one of Led Zepplin's, calling Zepplin the quintessential American rock band. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 It's all been confusing since the days of the British Invasion when Paul Revere and the Raiders came over... Quote
7/4 Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 It's all been confusing since the days of the British Invasion when Paul Revere and the Raiders came over... ← Another great British band: Quote

I've never seen/heard a Stones show that hasn't included these tunes since they were written! More poor writing on the part of the reporter... But what the hell: U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

Kalo Posted August 13, 2005 Report Posted August 13, 2005 Next you'll be telling me that the Sir Douglas Quintet weren't British either. Quote
7/4 Posted August 13, 2005 Report Posted August 13, 2005 ...and the Yardbirds were from Boston. Quote
Free For All Posted August 13, 2005 Report Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) We should probably start a separate thread for this, but has anyone checked out Tim Ries' new "music of the Rolling Stones" side? I just got it (and haven't yet listened), more because I'm a fan of Tim's than the Stones. I thought it was funny, the label on the CD referred to him as "Rolling Stones saxophonist" Tim Ries. Damned by faint praise. Edited August 13, 2005 by Free For All Quote

Damned by faint praise. ← In the company of Bobby Keys, yes. Ernie Watts, eh....six of one, apples and oranges of the other. But another "Rolling Stones saxophonist" was Sonny Rollins, so.... Quote
JSngry Posted August 13, 2005 Report Posted August 13, 2005 ...and the Yardbirds were from Boston. ← No, they were from Kansas City. The got that name because they squeaked whenever they ate the chicken that they ran over. Quote
jazzbo Posted August 13, 2005 Report Posted August 13, 2005 I hope they reissue more of that Danish saxophonist Ben Webster's work . . . . Quote
DukeCity Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 We should probably start a separate thread for this, but has anyone checked out Tim Ries' new "music of the Rolling Stones" side? I got the Tim Ries/Stones Project and have had a couple of listens. Tim sounds great. Nice arrangements and an impressive line-up with Sco, Larry Goldings and big name vocalists like Norah Jones and Sheryl Crow. If it hadn't been TR as the leader, I probably wouldn't have picked it up, but I'm glad I did. Hey lookie, it's my first post! Thanks for the tip, Paulie! Quote
Free For All Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 Welcome, DC! Now you need to getcherself an avatar. If it hadn't been TR as the leader, I probably wouldn't have picked it up, but I'm glad I did. My feelings as well. Quote
DukeCity Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 Yielding to extreme peer pressure, I now have my first avatar. Gradually, I'll get up to speed... Quote
BruceH Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Actually, Keith Richards has long kept a home on Canada... Quote
Aggie87 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 bumpin this for the Tim Ries content. I just picked up his Rolling Stones Project, upon which it seems everyone and their dog guested. I like Ries' playing throughout, moreso on tenor than soprano (though I think that problem is in my ears more than in Ries' horn). But I really like the contributions of Bill Frisell and Ben Monder the most, I think. Monder is on 3 tracks, and Frisell is on 4. Quote

mikeweil Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 I hope they reissue more of that Danish saxophonist Ben Webster's work . . . . I thought that was Dexter Gordon ..... Quote
