The Rolling Stones have reunited with their former bassist Bill Wyman to record
a tribute song in honour of their late pianist Ian Stewart.
The song, a cover of Bob Dylan's 'Watching The River Flow', is set to be
included on a tribute album for Stewart, who died of a heart attack in 1985. He
had played and recorded with the band since their inception in 1962.
Fansite Iorr.org reports that the Dylan cover features "all Rolling Stones
members including Bill Wyman". Original member Wyman left The Rolling Stones in
1992.
The album, which is called 'Boogie For Stu', has been helmed by pianist Ben
Waters.
Waters has previously confirmed that Keith Richards plays on three tracks on
the album, which is out in March.
Ben Waters has just finished his Ian Stewart tribute album, due out March 9,
2011. The album is including the Bob Dylan track "Watching The River Flow",
where all Rolling Stones members including Bill Wyman has contributed. Possible
gigs to promote the album will be announced on BenWaters.com.
