THanks Rockman,
but woa - there's quite a few mistakes in that article. Rod Stewart didn't "beat" Rolling Stones to releasing "Drift Away"; "Atlantic Crossing" wasn't released before 1975, the song was allready scrapped by the band, "Exile On Main Street Blues" wasn't made for TV commercial, but for PR EP release, "Cocaine" wasn't recorded "during an interview"....where did the journalist get that from? And what's "Empty Heart" and "Too Many Cooks" doing there? They've been released officially and easily available. Must be really easy getting to be a journalist in NME or Uncut, these days! I miss Basement News

Mick Jagger: Favorite Reggae ( Rolling Stone Magazine )

[www.rollingstone.com]



Jagger duetted with Peter Tosh in the Seventies, and he and the Rolling Stones covered the reggae classic "Cherry Oh Baby" in 1976. But his love of reggae dates to the Sixties, when he danced in clubs to Jamaican music. Jagger and Charlie Watts were the first Stones to become entranced: "We were interested from a rhythmic point of view, so we started to play reggae beats with the band, and the rest of them picked it up," Jagger says. He adds, with a devious chuckle, "I'm sure Keith would say something different."

*
1.
"Get Up, Stand Up / No More Trouble / War" | Bob Marley, 1976

I met Bob at the studio when he was doing Catch a Fire. I think I was doing overdubs on Black and Blue in London. He has so many well-known songs that I decided to go with something not-quite. I love the popular songs, but I really love this take from the Live at the Roxy album, a medley. It's a bit left-field: a very long version of "Get Up, Stand Up," which is a great groove of a song that segues beautifully into "No More Trouble" and "War," and then back to "Get Up, Stand Up." The whole thing lasts 24 minutes, but if you decide to dance to it it, you'll still be going at the end.


*
2.
"Pick Myself Up" | Peter Tosh, 1978

"Legalize It" is really good, but I'm going to pick this, a slow one. It's so wistful and different, and the groove is really good.
*
3.
"54-46 That's My Number " | Toots and the Maytals, 1968

I don't know exactly why, but I've always loved this song. It's danceable, for starters, and the vocal delivery is very cool. Toots was so raw. I like the way he just slams it at you, vocally. He's great on this one.
*
4.
"You Don't Love Me" | Dawn Penn, 1967

I first heard Jamaican music in the Sixties, and it wasn't called reggae then, but "blue beat." There were lots of Jamaicans in London, of course, and you'd hear blue beat, which eventually morphed into ska, and you'd hear calypso and other Caribbean music. I remember going out to dance at clubs in Mayfair. You wouldn't call "You Don't Love Me" hard reggae, exactly, but it's got these incredible, lilting rhythms, and she sings it in such a soulful way. I love that tune. It's beautiful. It was a giant hit, and rightly so.
*
5.
"Cream of the Crop" | Gregory Isaacs, 1983

This is a very sexy song, with a supremely relaxed groove.
*
6.
"War Ina Babylon" | Max Romeo and the Upsetters, 1976

This established what you might call the tenet of reggae. Lee "Scratch" Perry produced it – it's essential reggae. And what a great bass line!
*
7.
"Brethern and Sisters" | The Viceroys, 1983

This is a good example of one of those togetherness-and-love songs, and it has a sort of doo-woppy vocal to it, like you'd hear back in the early days of reggae.
*
8.
"Writing on the Wall" | Ronnie Davis, 1983

This is another song with a super-relaxed groove, and yet the playing is extraordinarily tight. When you listen to it, you're drawn in almost hypnotically to the tune.
*
9.
"Ring The Alarm" | Tenor Saw, 1985

I've long gravitated toward reggae with other than what one considers a standard beat. This is very unusual: The timing and the vocal are so strange.
*
10.
"Marcus Garvey" | Burning Spear, 1975

It's about the continued connection of Jamaica and Africa, which is all part of reggae history: a connection that's at once mystical and very real. I was just talking about Marcus Garvey with someone the other day: the Back to Africa movement, all these people on ships from New York to Liberia. It was a very strange time.

I just saw the Jagger-Reggae list myself while scanning that mag in a gas station.

Pitchfork: Keith Richards plays guitar and sings on this album. How far do you go back with him?

TW: Rain Dogs. I was being ridiculous. First of all, my wife Kathleen said, "Why don't you get Keith Richards on here? You love him. You love what he does. We're in New York and he lives in New York." And I go, "Oh, I gotta listen to this shit."

So then I was talking to the record company and they say, "Any guests you want on the record?" And I said, "What about Keith Richards?" I was just joking, but somebody went ahead and called him. And then he said, "Yeah." And I said, "Now we're really in trouble."

I was really nervous. He came with about 600 guitars in a semi-truck. And a butler. We were in these huge studios in New York, like The Poseidon Adventure. Huge, high ceilings in these rooms like football fields. They'd fill these things up with orchestras and we were in there with five guys. It felt a little weird. He killed me. I was really knocked out that he played on all those things.

Pitchfork: The song "Satisfied" references the Stones and Keith. Was it written with the idea that he would play on it?

TW: It's just a shout out. I was just caught up in the moment. And then making it kind of an answer to ["Satisfaction"]: "Can't get no satisfaction... my ass, you can't get no satisfaction!" So that was just being refuckulous. It's an evangelical litany of life affirmations. It's devotional music, really. It was a goof. Les Claypool played bass on it, my son played drums, Keith. It caught on.
