VARIOUS Paint It Black- The Compilation of Rolling Stones Cover Tracks EMI 3672502 (2006)
Released to coincide with this summer's Bigger Bang European Tour, this compilation of Rolling Stones tracks covered by artists such as Rod Stewart ('Street Fighting Man'), David Bowie ('Let's Spend The Night Together'), Bryan Ferry ('Sympathy For The Devil') and Aretha Franklin ('Jumpin' Jack Flash') is not your usual 'tribute record' but instead is a testament to the song-writing ability of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
