Long Players, Stones Sideman Bobby Keys Get 'Sticky Fingers' at Germantown Street Festival

Posted by Jim Ridley on Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 7:21 AM

Want to hear that sleazy honkin' sax riff on "Brown Sugar" played by the guy who first laid it down? You'll get your chance Oct. 10 at the Germantown Street Festival, when Stones saxman Bobby Keys joins The Long Players to recreate the Sticky Fingers LP in its entirety. (And you were hoping they'd do U2's October. 'Tis the season.) Confirmed guest vocalists include Jonell Mosser and Danny Flowers.

The LPs cap what sounds like a pretty cool music lineup for the neighborhood festival's main stage. Also confirmed are soul man Space Capone, country newcomer Sunny Sweeney, the Tyrone Smith Revue featuring indefatigable R&B showman Super T, and Can You Duet winners Steel Magnolia.

More acts will be announced soon. In the meantime, here's a taste of Keys with Nanette Workman and Warren Pash playing another Stones classic at the Family Wash.

Bobby Keys is a legend, but his saxophone sounds flat here compared to the rest of the band...

Q: How long does Warren Pash get to ride "Private Eyes?"
A: Apparently forever.

It's his song, yutz. That's a question you should really be asking of Hall & Oates.
