Ben Waters – Boogie 4 Stu: A Tribute to Ian Stewart
Eagle Records
www.eaglerockent.com

Rating: B

Ben Waters may not be a household name but the 35 year old is actually one of the best boogie piano players in the world. He is regarded as a true leader in his field and is currently working with Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts.

Ben, a huge Stones fan, has released a tribute to the Stones original keyboard player, Ian Stewart. He invited a ton of famous friends to put the frosting on the cake. Rest assured, this is one desert that is to be savored and then devoured. Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, Ronnie Wood, Charlie Watts, PJ Harvey, Mick Jagger and even Ian Stewart make appearances on the CD.

Waters isn’t looking to get rich off this project as all proceeds are going to the British Heart Foundation. He simply wants to show his gratitude and thanks to a man who helped to give him the passion that has led to his life works. This is a solid album by a true talented man.
