1992: Mick jams onstage with blues band The Red Devils at the King King club, Los Angeles. Mick on The Red Devils (1992): “The blues sides were cut with the Red Devils, a band signed to Def American. I used to go see them Monday nights at the King King Club in L.A. and I sung with them a couple of times. We did one whole day of 14 blues sides. Some obscure, some not. We don’t know if we’re going to put them out. We just did them for fun… You go in and out of these things. You think, I know it, I’ve heard it, it’s all in my head. I don’t need to put records on. It’s different when you’re actually playing it or seeing it – that’s something else…
…Listening to blues records sometimes gets to be a bit… But sometimes you go back to it and you say, Wow, this is really great. Especially buying a new collection of something like old spiritual singers that I used to like when I was a teenager that I’d forgotten. God knows they’re pretty heavy and dark. You come back to that and it gives you a bit of a chill. If you go in and buy records that you haven’t heard in a very long time you can get back into it. Playing and singing it – especially with bands like the Red Devils who are a real blues band, they only play blues – you get a sense of, Wow, I was there. When I was 19 that’s what I used to do – just play this music. That was all I did!”
