Though there is no official word on a documentary, Deaton says, “there were six or seven cameras on every session that we did,” and Masuch brings up the idea of “maybe turning [the album] into a live event, if possible, at a certain point. It would be [amazing] to have those artists in a big venue, performing their favorite songs, and maybe getting one or two members of [the Rolling Stones] to be around.”

Frankly, the answer is probably immaterial, as I share the view that you can’t have too much of a good thing, even, if, to coin a phrase, you can’t always get what you want. And it’s always good to see some young cubs getting to take a bite at the Jagger-Richards canon. Let’s see if it’s any good. Long fascinated by the Stones, and specifically their country roots, Deaton spent the past several years on a specific mission: namely to shine a light on the Stones’ influence not only on Country music at large, but more specifically on some of its most convention-busting contemporary artists. Deaton, who dubbed the album “a Nashville love letter to the Stones,” says many of the artists, like Church, have long histories with the music: “[Church] said that when he was nobody and just playing guitar in front of 10 people, he got more tips when he played ‘Honky Tonk Women.’The Stones have been so important to him for so long that it’s been an honor just to be able to say ‘thank you’ on this record.” I wanted everybody in the same room together so that they all could feed off of each other and [have] it be as organic and as real as possible,” Deaton says. “Whatever that Stones thing is that they have [whenever] they’re in a room, I wanted to be able to create that and get as close to it as we possibly could.” Forthcoming Star-Studded Record Features Covers from Country’s Biggest Stars: Jimmie Allen, Brooks & Dunn, Brothers Osborne, Eric Church, Steve Earle, Elle King, Marcus King, Little Big Town, Ashley McBryde, Maren Morris, Elvie Shane, Koe Wetzel, The War And Treaty, Lainey Wilson & Zac Brown Band

Stoned Cold Country – Nashville’s Love Letter to The Rolling Stones – Set to Arrive 17th March 2023 That country music’s relationship with the Rolling Stones reaches across decades is a given. Even the parents of some of the youngest artists here were children if they were even born when the British bad boys played their first gig. In 1997, another country tribute album dedicated to this subject, Stone Country paired country legends and current hitmakers with Stones classics. For that collection, reliance was still heavy on hits, but there was a wider scope. There are no revelations on Stoned Cold Country like Nanci Griffith’s sublime treatment of “No Expectations”, or George Jones’ fitting “Time Is on My Side”, for example.
