So, two unrelated labels so far, Valcour and Arhoolie. Will there be a
third? With Alligator Tongue logo and merch? My guess is yes.



Thinking more about what will we be getting on the Stones label...

Valcour got the album, Arhoolie got the single, so what are we getting next?

An EP!

An EP! The Chenier track plus several other swamp rock classics
in the vein of stuff like Susie Q and Hoodoo Blues

Thus explaining the bother of creating a special Tongue !

What a happy surprise an EP would be !




Because of Hoodoo Blues on Blue & Lonesome I spent several
months back then discovering and re-discovering swamp blues,
swamp rock, and swamp pop...

Such rich genres, with so many of the songs just begging for
a cover by the Stones, they're so Stones-y sounding already...

Lots of great compilations and playlists on youtube. Here's one:




So a Stones EP would simply name itself, especially with everybody these
days saying "Can't, I'm Swamped"

PLUS the title track, an original twangy instrumental, a
sixty-years-later companion piece to "Stoned"...



Swamped !

Where am I at ?

Don't bite off me leg ! Don't bite off me arm !

also, thanks to iorr's bye bye johnny, a great long article from The Atlantic



The Rolling Stones Play Zydeco

How the legendary rock band discovered the music of Clifton Chenier



...


https://archive.ph/KyHJX

A few excerpts:

Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards convene a 3 a.m. jam session at the
New York studios of Atlantic Records. On equipment borrowed from Bruce
Springsteen, they play “Don’t You Lie to Me”—first the Chuck Berry version,
then Clifton Chenier’s Zydeco interpretation

May 3, 2024: the day after the Rolling Stones performed at the New Orleans
Jazz & Heritage Festival. During their set, the Stones had asked the
accordion player Dwayne Dopsie, a son of another zydeco artist, Rockin’
Dopsie, to accompany the band on “Let It Bleed.”

The Stones’ version of “Zydeco Sont Pas Salé” opens with St. Julien,
Chenier’s longtime drummer, playing a backbeat with brushes. He’s 77 now,
no longer the young man Jagger saw in Watts in 1978. “I quit playing music
about 10 years ago, to tell the truth,” he said when we spoke this spring,
but you wouldn’t know it by how he sounds on the track. Keith Richards’s
guitar part, guttural and revving, meets St. Julien in the intro and builds
steadily.
