Charlie Watts, Without Charlie There Would Be No Stones, He is Different From Other Drummers !!! 

Since January 1963 Charlie Watts drummer, artist, husband, father, farm owner, jazz buff, style icon and a quiet, soulful man of sharp wit has rejected the hedonistic delights and survived the tumultuous travails associated with being a member and shareholder of The World’s Greatest Rock & Roll Band, In a word he’s been cool. By the time The Rolling Stones We Love You hit the airwaves in August 1967, the Summer Of Love was fading fast. Even then 50 years ago there was a sense that Charlie Watts would be quite happy if his world had never moved beyond the black-and-white Britain of the late 1950s and early 60s. With his typically stoic expression as likely to be broken by a disdaining rolling of the eyes as brightened by a beatific smile, he is really like some anachronism of a bygone era, That’s not to say he isn’t hip, Charlie has always been cool, and Here is why. Let’s get this one right up front, if only because everyone in The Stones is quick to remind us of the reality. There was Mick Jagger’s shout out Charlie’s good tonight, And there’s Keith Richards constant reminder that without Charlie there would be no Stones. Ronnie Wood confirms the same in the band’s Tip Of The Tongue documentary Charlie’s the engine, We don’t go anywhere without the engine. That’s because Charlie’s drumming is authentically swung vintage style stuff that is, as the band’s 2016 back to the roots album Blue & Lonesome reminds us, propelling a group of 1940s vintage London lads in a 1960s vintage rhythm and blues band. Rob Wallis of drumming video originators Hudson Music may not have dissected Charlie’s drumming the way he has with the likes of Steve Gadd and Steve Smith, but he is a fan. Charlie’s got rock solid time, His playing swings and his shuffles are great because of his comfort with jazz ride patterns. Without him The Stones would be a completely different sounding band with a very different feel.
