Here we go.
"Hear Music is pleased to announce the first Artist's Choice CD of 2003: Rolling Stones Artist's Choice, which will be released in Starbucks Company-operated locations in North America on March 19, and will be available through traditional retail outlets March 25. The CD will feature The Stones personal picks from well known greats including James Brown and Otis Redding as well as tracks from lesser known performers including saxophonist Earl Bostic and roots-reggae band the Itals.
The Artist's Choice� Compilation Series is a unique opportunity for fans to hear and learn about the music that has inspired some of today's most accomplished and influential artists. Each CD contains a special booklet, with quotes and comments from the artist about their selections.
"Because you want to know where the triggers are, you know?" says Keith Richards. "If you are at all interested in what I do, then check out Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, check out Louis Armstrong - they are the essentials."
Mick Jagger's choice of James Brown's Papa's Got a Brand New Bag (Part 1) is also highlighted in the liner notes, giving fans an insight into the inspiration that Brown has had on Jagger both personally and as a musician.
"Many times I saw James Brown. I think I saw him at the Apollo Theater in Harlem first, in 1964. I used to go there regularly. They used to do four or five shows and I would watch them all. And we'd learn all his moves and try and copy them," Jagger said."
There was also an ad for it in my New York Times e-mail update:
"It's like a mixed tape from the Rolling Stones.
Hear Music presents Rolling Stones Artist's Choice:
16 songs chosen by Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie
as the music that matters to them."
Sweet! Four songs a Stone, plus we get to hear Charlie's choice, for once! Think like that Uncut album of Keith's picks. This shuold be good.

Well, I ordered it on-line from Starbucks, as I live in the freakin boonies, and aint no Starbucks round here. Although I did hear that you can purchase them at Coconuts too.
I think it sounds like a perfect laying-out-in-the-sun-with-Stoli-and-lemonade disc. I will let you all know...... |

I picked this up yesterday at my local Starfucks
and its damn good!
well done with a brief commentary by each Stone on their selections
the description by Ronnie as to why he picked the Beach Boys "I Guess I Wasnt Meant For These Times" is quite sad. He said the lyrics remind him of himself.
and the surprise pick IMO is Mick selecting Sade. He says it reminds him of a certain someone... |
