Producer Rick Rubin was working on Mick Jagger's third solo album when he recommended the Rolling Stones musician link up with blues-rock band, The Red Devils. After performing live with them in spring of 1992, they all set out to the studio for a rumored 13-hour recording session in Hollywood where they recorded 12 tracks, many of which were unrehearsed or finished with only one or two takes. The songs remain officially unreleased with the exception of "Checkin' Up On My Baby" which was released on the 1997 The Very Best of Mick Jagger.

One to three takes were done for each track, which can be found elsewhere, this video has one take for each of the twelve different tracks recorded.

Just in case anyone thought Mick couldn't sing the Blues with the best of

[lesrowley]

Been a Stones fan for 50 years but never knew this existed until now. Amazing - Mick Jagger at his best. The Red Devils - raw, authentic blues. I loved the Blue & Lonesome album but I think that this is even better. Big thx to the person who posted this.

FANTASTIC Blues!
Great Band!!

[neillavey]

Never could figure out why this wasn't officially released; Mick's best solo effort IMHO...

[erikstekelenburg]

One of the best bluesband's ever with the legendary Lester Butler on harp. Mick is okay, but you can't do wrong with a raw, filthy and groovin band like this. 😎

Mick Jagger: "...is the singer, not the song" by Rolling Stones. GREAT!!! THANK YOU MICK!

Mick Jagger and the Red Devils....Wow👌👌👌👌Holy moses this albums should have win 20 grammys..
I love the Rolling Stones with my Lifesblood...
But this album...Howlin Wolf, Muddy, and all the other great blues guys couldn't done this better.

[jbsamakis]

How come this was never released? It's the best thing Jagger or any of the Stones, for that matter, have done in the past 30 years. The band is tight and Jagger's vocals aren't forced (unlike many of his more recent efforts); they're real and they fit perfectly with the music. This is a great blues album and it really deserves to see the light of day.

Been a Red Devils and Stones fan for years, and just stumbled across this. Wow just wow. Never knew this existed until now. So good!!

[cyndygough]

Mick Jagger is da man...always has been, always will be. Thank you Mick for being in my life for 54 years. Love you!!!

[mdattoma]

This is an absolute gift....Mick back to his roots, slipping into it like an old, broken in, comfortable shoe.

the voice i searched for when i was 9yrs old, heard the STONES and i was sold. Allways thought blues fitted his voice best.

[turboist]

The Stones first few albums were Rythm and Blues as was Fleetwood Mac. The Stones really rocked but when the psychodelic came in all rhe music changed away from R&B to a lot of junk and album fillers. Beatles first album was one of their best. This is definitely a rare album, It rocks with Jagger. The original Animals were a rockin group but never got the following they should have. Eric Burdon was another great singer. Sad to see so many are gone.

Why have I only just discovered this wonderful Jagger blues music. Thanks for uploading. As everyone else has already asked... Why can't I buy this on cd for my extensive Jagger/Stones collection ???. Let's be honest, it's not like any of The he Stones to pass up on an extra few pounds/ bucks. Release this officially please.
Love it.

[RachisRooky]

Excellant! Fantastic Blues! Enjoyed it. Can't understand why it was never released.

One of the first things The Stones did in 1964 upon coming to America was settle in for about two months with Muddy Waters in Chicago. The Stones recorded with Muddy and they swore that the old man was God.

This shows that Mick learned his lessons well.
