Saw Charlie Watts sit in with a group tonight.

They're the touring/backup group led by Tim Ries from Detroit. What a great jazz drummer. It's a shame that he didn't make a living and career doing what he loves best.

the best reggae drummer in the world. I think he could play any type of music.

I know we've all heard the song many times, but try giving a fresh listen to Can't You Hear Me Knocking. Forget the killer intro guitar riff, forget the soaring Mick Taylor solo, forget the saxophone. Listen exclusively to the brilliance and talent of Charlie Watts on that song.
