Jamming with Edward (Rolling Stones Records COC-39100, 1972)
I file this under Rolling Stones, but it’s just Mick, Bill and Charlie with Nicky Hopkins and Ry Cooder. It’s a mess but it’s as good as a lot of boots of Exile outtakes I’ve heard. Recorded in 1969 when these guys could do no wrong, they attempt to challenge that idea.

Remembering Shel Talmy!
“And he's oh, so good
And he's oh, so fine
And he's oh, so healthy
In his body and his mind
He's a well respected man about town
Doing the best things so conservatively”

introspection / the end. 1969

Jamming With Edward - Nicky Hopkins, Ry Cooder, Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman & Charlie Watts
Now here's a real curiosity. During recording sessions for Let It Bleed, Keith Richards had left the studio, apparently upset that Ry Cooder had been brought in as a session guitarist.
The remaining Stones, along with Cooder and Nicky Hopkins, a leading session pianist (known by the band, for some reason, as Edward) spent the time jamming. Their efforts were recorded, and this album is the result.
It's pretty much what you'd expect from a jam by a group of leading R & B musicians - great fun but no classic.

He was a guitarist, lyricist, piano player and session man who played with the Rolling Stones, Beatles, Faces, The Kinks and others. And, he led a group sing-a-long at Woodstock.

ニッキー・ホプキンズ(いまはズと濁って表記されるみたいだ）の映画セッションマンで彼がピアノを弾いていたと語られていてあがった。好きだわー。聴いてておもってけど中川敬がレモン・スクイーザーというバンドを組んでいた記憶なのだけど多分この曲の歌詞からとってますね。一度だけ大阪ドームで観たストーンズのライブでやってくれて嬉しかった #nickyhopkins #therollingstones #YouTube #マストドン音楽好き部 #fedibird
