Our Take

Charlie Watts, the man, the myth, the legend. The Rolling Stones drummer may not be the flashiest member of the band, but his talent and style have been crucial to their success for decades. Now, with the release of his Anthology album, we get a glimpse into the musical world of this iconic musician.

The album kicks off with a bang, with classic tracks like "Paint It Black" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash" showcasing Watts' impeccable timing and groove. His drumming is the heartbeat of The Rolling Stones, and it shines through on every track.

But what really sets this album apart is the deep cuts and rarities that are included. Tracks like "Armitage Shanks Blues" and "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" show a different side of Watts, with jazzy rhythms and intricate drum patterns that we don't often hear in The Stones' music.

Watts' influence on rock and roll cannot be overstated, and this anthology is a testament to his incredible talent. Whether you're a die-hard Rolling Stones fan or just a casual listener, this album is a must-have for any music lover. Don't sleep on Charlie Watts - this anthology is a true gem in the world of rock music.

About the artist

Charlie Watts

CHARLIE WATTS, the inscrutable heartbeat of The Rolling Stones, is a paradox wrapped in a mystery, shrouded in rhythm. With his signature cool demeanor and impeccable style, the legendary drummer has been holding down the groove for over six decades, proving that age is but a mere number when it comes to rock 'n' roll. Born in London in 1941, Watts cut his teeth in the jazz scene before joining Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Brian Jones in the early days of The Stones. His minimalist approach to drumming, characterized by crisp snare hits and steady hi-hat work, provided the perfect foundation for the band's bluesy swagger. Watts' unfussy style belies a deep well of musical knowledge and impeccable taste. While his bandmates may revel in excess, Watts remains a model of understated elegance, both on and off the stage. His subtle yet dynamic playing has been the backbone of countless Stones hits, from "Paint It Black" to "Brown Sugar." Despite his quiet demeanor, Watts has never been afraid to speak his mind, whether critiquing the state of modern music or voicing his disdain for the trappings of fame. His dry wit and deadpan delivery have become as much a part of his persona as his sharp suits and fedora. In a world of rock 'n' roll excess and bombast, Charlie Watts stands as a beacon of restraint and taste. With his impeccable groove and effortless cool, he proves that sometimes, less is truly more. To paraphrase one of his band's classic hits, Charlie Watts may not always get what he wants, but he damn well gets what he needs.
