The Ronnie Wood Band have shared two new covers from their upcoming LP, 'Mr Luck - A Tribute to Jimmy Reed: Live at the Royal Albert Hall'.
Shame, Shame, Shame and the instrumental Roll And Rhumba will feature on the second instalment of the live album trilogy, which pays tribute to one of The Rolling Stones guitarist's heroes and main influences, Mississippi blues legend Jimmy Reed.
The former is a faithful Paul Weller-assisted rendition of the track, originally released in 1963. The latter is a spirited revamp which sees the musicianship of Wood and band taking centre stage. Press play below.
Following 2019's 'Mad Lad' LP, which honoured the work of Chuck Berry, the 18-track release also includes guest spots from Bobby Womack and Mick Hucknall, with a release set for September 17 via BMG. It captures the group's performance at London's Royal Albert Hall on November 1, 2013, and comes with unique artwork created by Wood himself. He said:
"Jimmy Reed was one of the premier influences on the Rolling Stones and all the bands that love American blues from that era until the present day. It is my honour to have the opportunity to celebrate his life and legacy with this tribute."
The Rolling Stones, meanwhile, are due to resume their US leg of their No Filter Tour in St. Louis on September 26, after the dates were postponed in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. It was recently confirmed that drummer Charlie Watts will sit out the shows to recover from a medical procedure.
