Mick's first solo album -She's the Boss. I forgot just how great this record is. Out in 1985, the Stones had just signed with CBS Records and part of that deal allowed for solo projects. Seems like Mick called in a few favors on this record because those playing on it are a veritable who's who of rock and roll gods from the mid-'80's. Start with the Chic guys Nile Rodgers and the late great Bernard Edwards as producers. Then add in Carlos Alomar (see Bowie), Jeff Beck, Ray Cooper, Sly Dunbar, Jan Hammer, Herbie Hancock, Chuck Leavell (one of my favorite keyboard players), Michael Shrieve (Santana's drummer at Woodstock), Chic drummer Tony Thompson and Pete Townshend, to name just a few. The link above (click on this post's title) will take you a youtube video of a great song on this record, the extended version of a song called Lucky in Love. Hope you like it.
