The 11-track set features longtime Stones producer (and current Ryan Adams pal) Glynn Johns at the mixing board and finds Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood, and ex-Stones bassis Bill Wyman coming together to record a version of Bob Dylan’s “Watchin’ The River Flow”. The lineup doesn’t completely collaborate together for any other tracks, but Boogie does feature Richards, Watts, and Woods playing on versions of classics like Amos Milburn’s “Rooming House Boogie” and Big Maceo’s “Worried Life Blues”, the latter of which sees Richards on vocals.
Also contributing to the cause are Jools Holland and none other than Ms. Polly Jean Harvey who contributes her unique warble to a version of Ray Charles’ 1956 hit, “Lonely Avenue”. Eagle Records is handling the distribution, but pre-orders are happening at Amazon.com, and a complete tracklist is available below.
