From 1993, singer Bernard Fowler backed by Charlie Watts and his jazz combo, performing the classic song "Time After Time," written by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne. Twenty years later, the only white drummer that swings is back on the road with the Stones, albeit reluctantly.
Charlie Watts: 'Glastonbury? I don't want to do it' ... The Rolling Stones drummer doesn't listen to his own band's songs any more, but he must be excited about playing Glastonbury, right? Er ... by Caspar Llewellyn Smith
What do you think of drum machines?
They're great for songwriters and producers. Recording is a very precise thing – it's playing it dead right every time, and it can be fun. But if you're writing a song, it's great to be able to tell the machine you'd like it louder, rather than having to tell the drummer. It's not what I'm interested in. I like the drum kit sound and somebody playing it – preferably me, but it could be anyone.
