Andrew Loog Oldham Getting Rolling Stoned With New Album
08/27/2010
.
(Gibson) Andrew Loog Oldham, who once upon a time promoted The Beatles, managed The Rolling Stones and discovered Marianne Faithfull, is taking the band he managed as a 19-year old — or at least, their music — back to the studio. Loog Oldham is re-recording several of The Rolling Stones' best known songs in Vancouver.It's not the first time the man who famously asked, "Would you let your daughter marry a Rolling Stone?" has recorded Stones tracks. In 1966, he released Rolling Stones Songbook under the project title, The Andrew Oldham Orchestra. That album is most notable for the lawsuit Oldham later brought against The Verve, claiming the Britpop band sampled Oldham's recording of "The Last Time" for their signature hit, "Bitter Sweet Symphony." Oldham began recording Rolling Stones Songbook, Volume 2 in his adopted home of Bogota, Columbia, but he moved to Vancouver to finish the project with local musicians Steven Drake and Wyckham Porteous. The album also features Captain Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas. - more on this story
