Cowboy Junkies, Matthew Ryan, Great Lake Swimmers and Mary Gauthier Are Among The Artists Featured On Alt Country Tribute To The Rolling Stones

Reimagine Music celebrates the influence of The Rolling Stones with new recordings of their classic and lesser known by the best Alt Country artists on the scene including: Great Lake Swimmers, Matthew Ryan, Cowboy Junkies, Hem, Everest, The Bittersweets, Giant Sand, Lee Harvey Osmond and Mary Gauthier, Over the Rhine, The Handsome Family, Blue Mountain, Brian Ritchey, Neal McCarthy & Ivo Matos, Barbara Kessler, and Anders Parker.

Entitled 'Paint It Black: An Alt Country Tribute To The Rolling Stones' this digital download only project is produced by Jim Sampas whose work includes Jay Farrar & Benjamin Gibbard - 'One Fast Move Or I'm Gone: Music From Kerouac's Big Sur' (Atlantic Records), 'Badlands: A Tribute to Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska' (Sub Pop) w/ Johnny Cash, Aimee Mann, Ben Harper and others and 'This Bird Has Flown: A Tribute to the Beatles' Rubber Soul' (Razor & Tie) w/ Sufjan Stevens, Ted Leo, Low and others.

"This collection brings clearly to mind the maverick country energy that Gram Parsons injected into the Stones' turn of the decade style. This grouping of artists is a dream come true for me and their alt country style suits these songs well, with one foot grounded in traditional country's past in violins, harmonicas and pedal steel guitars, and another kicking into the 21st century, with modern recording techniques and synths."

The release of this new tribute comes on the heels of the great success of Reimagine Music's other tribute 'Subterranean Homesick Blues: A Tribute To Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home' that received widespread press coverage such as Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, The Boston Globe, Stereogum, The Associate Press, The Chicago Tribune, Filter, The Huffington Post and many others.
