Good Saturday morning y'all.
Today a little Rolling Stones blast from the past for you in the form of this Gimme Shelter cover, created by Playing for Change—the amazing people who put together the awe-inspiring cover of Stand By Me back in 2009, which was featured here some time ago.
Like Stand By Me and the rest of that original album, Gimme Shelter was recorded by unknown artists in a virtual worldwide street studio. It all starts with the base percussion, which is recorded first and sets the rhythm to it all, played by Greg Ellis in Hollywood. Then, the track literally flies all over the world, where other artists use it to play their own parts of the song.
At the end of the process, those parts get remixed in a central studio to make the cover you are about to listen to.
