Archäologie CVXVVXXXI: Watching The River Flow
The Rolling Stones have reunited with original bassist Bill Wyman to record a cover of Bob Dylan's 1971 song "Watching The River Flow." The track appears on Boogie 4 Stu, a new tribute album honoring the band's original keyboardist Ian Stewart. The Dylan cover is the only song on the LP (in stores next week) that features Mick Jagger, though the others members of the band are sprinkled throughout the many blues covers on the disc...
Stewart joined the Rolling Stones as the band's keyboardist in May of 1962, just weeks before Jagger and Richards joined. Andrew Loog Oldham, the band's manager, felt that Stewart didn't fit the band's image and he was demoted to road manager in 1963 - though he continued to record and perform with the band until his death in 1985. "I'm still working for him," Keith Richards has said. "To me, the Rolling Stones is his band. Without his knowledge and organization...we'd be nowhere."
