Keith Richards Duets With George Jones
Keith Richards duets with country star George Jones on the title track of Jones' recently released Burn Your Playhouse Down: The Unreleased Duets. The album, out on Bandit Records, features never-before-released duets between Jones and a host of varied musicians recorded over the last five decades. Keith first met George Jones when the Rolling Stones shared a bill with him in 1964 on their first tour of the US. Three decades later, Keith took a break from the band's 1994 mixing sessions for Voodoo Lounge to record "Say It's Not You" for Jones' album, The Bradley Barn Sessions. Now, 14 years later, fans can again enjoy the interplay between the two.

Celebrate 30 Years Of 'Some Girls'
On June 9, 1978, The Rolling Stones released Some Girls, re-establishing their reputation as the pre-eminent rock 'n' roll band of their time. In an era dominated by punk and disco, Some Girls managed to absorb the sound and swagger of both while reclaiming lost ground for rock 'n' roll and belonging entirely to the Stones. No small feat and neither was what would follow. Some Girls shot to #1 on the US charts and #2 in the UK upon its release and the album's first single, "Miss You" - with its pulsing drums and Sugar Blue's wailing harmonica - became the band's eighth #1 single in the US and a staple of the band's live show for the next 30 years. Many of the other tracks on Some Girls would go on to be released as singles - "Beast Of Burden", "Respectable", "Shattered" - and even more would work their way into the band's set lists in the years to follow. Fans will take note that the band's recently released, Martin Scorsese-directed concert film, "Shine A Light," featured more songs from Some Girls than any other one album in the band's catalogue. In the end, Some Girls' greatest legacy may not be what it brought to the world, but what it brought to The Rolling Stones, in the form of Ron Wood. The studio sessions, and proceeding 25 date tour of the US, marked the beginning of Ron Wood's fulltime appointment to the band and, 30 years later, no one's looked back. In honor of 30 years come and gone, The Rolling Stones official store is pleased to announce a special 30 hour anniversary sale. Beginning on June 9 at Noon EST and lasting until June 10 at 6 PM EST, all items in the Some Girls department will be 30% off in honor of 30 years of Some Girls. Celebrate 30 years in style - get your Some Girls merchandise while the anniversary sale lasts. And enjoy our brief look back on Some Girls through the years, complete with quotes from the band, a bit of memorabilia and a mix of live and promotional videos. Members of RollingStones.com are invited to weigh in on the legacy of Some Girls on the message boards all this week. Click the "Miss You" single sleeve to watch a classic performance of "Miss You" from our archives. "There aren't any filler tracks on this album. The band was most aware of avoiding that. From the start we KNEW the album was going to be full of strong tracks. Anything slightly dodgy was shelved. I know people expect this album to be great. And I don't think anyone will be disappointed." - Ron Wood, 1978 Click the "Far Away Eyes" single sleeve to enjoy a video of a studio performance of "Far Away Eyes." "Some Girls was kind of like Beggars Banquet. Like we'd been away for a bit, and we came back with a bang." - Keith Richards, 1982 Some Girls was not without its fair share of controversy. Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe and others protested the use of their images on the cover, and ultimately the band put their own faces in place of the famous women. The original cover finally saw the light of day with the Virgin re-release of Some Girls in 1994, and has since gone on to grace a variety of Rolling Stones products over the years, including a Some Girls puzzle. Click the puzzle for a never-before-seen performance of "Shattered" taken from a recent band rehearsal. Click on the original album cover below to watch the band performing "When The Whip Comes Down" during the 2002 - 2003 Licks Tour. "It was a really great record. I seem to like records that have one overriding mood with lots of little offshoots. Even though there's a lot of bases covered, there's lots of straight-ahead rock and roll. It's very brass-edged. It's very Rolling Stones, not a lot of frills." - Mick Jagger, 1995 So throw on your Some Girls LP, or get your copy from iTunes, and groove to Sugar Blue's wailing harmonica on "Miss You," and be sure to head over to The Rolling Stones official store to celebrate 30 years in style.

Rolling Stones Poster Review
by
Rock and The King

"Rolling Stones posters - like the band itself - are the embodiment rock-n-roll. The art is brilliant, simple, fun and thoughtful. The picture posters have captured the band's characters and the mood of the times perfectly throughout their four-decade career. For poster art, sex, drugs and rock-n-roll, the Stones are as good as it gets.

"Rock" at Rock Poster Review

"I must have nearly a dozen Stones posters - mostly from incredible concerts, and some of their early memorabilia have fantastic value. However, my favorite poster to this day is the "Tongue" on a black background. It says everything you need to know about the band. After all, you just can't get enough good tongue these days."
