Jamming with Edward! is an album recorded by three members of The Rolling Stones with Nicky Hopkins and Ry Cooder at London's Olympic Studio during the Let It Bleed sessions of 1969, and released on Rolling Stones Records in 1972. On the strength of The Rolling Stones' association with the album, Jamming With Edward! reached #33 on the U.S charts, although it failed to reach the UK listings.
“This album was actually recorded around 1969 during the "Let It Bleed sessions when Ry Cooder added mandolin on "Love In Vain" and slide guitar for "Sister Morphine" (later to appear on "Sticky Fingers.") The album however was not released until 1972. Hence the confusion in some of the reviews of this disc. The session took place while waiting for Keef to show. Just Cooder, the Stones rhythm section, Watts & Wyman, Mick and piano great Nicky Hopkins the alais "Edward." This is just a jam session with great sound quality even though Jagger gets buried in the mix. The album centers around Hopkins, Watts, Wyman and Cooder so that fact that Mick is buried in the mix is insignificant. This rocks! This boogies! As the liner notes say, "What was the point of having your own record label in you couldn't indulge a whim every once in a while?" Plus the original liner notes by Mick himself are a hoot as he adds, "I hope you spend longer listening to this than we did making it. Too judge this album as you would other albums in the Stones cannon is foolish. But still I find it to be a worthwhile addition to any true fan of the Stones, Nicky Hopkins or Ry Cooder. If you're not tappin your toes or dancing to this I would have someone check your pulse. - By Dean Kuschell "DETROIT DEAN"”
