Rolling Stones, Charlie Watts & Alexander Skarsgård Share Bonus Track Video
The Rolling Stones continue to deliver records that prove aging is merely a filter, not a decline. Their latest offering, Foreign Tongues, arrived in July, and it’s quickly establishing itself as one of the most impressive late-career statements from the legendary band.
While the music itself is undeniably potent, the release comes with a fascinating behind-the-scenes layer that speaks to the band’s history and recent losses. Not every track on the album tells the whole story, and one notable absence points toward a poignant piece of history.
The most interesting detail revolves around a song that some longtime fans keenly anticipate: the duet Bad Luck Hideaway. This track was recorded by the Stones alongside their late drummer, Charlie Watts, and represents a moment of deep musical collaboration.
Though the album has been widely released, Foreign Tongues deliberately omits this special track from its main body. It doesn’t appear on the standard release, which adds a layer of mystery to the vinyl and digital editions.
However, this doesn’t mean the song is completely absent. The Stones have made the track available through bonus content, appearing on digital editions. Furthermore, the track has even been featured in other special releases, including a music video collaboration with Alexander Skarsgård.
This decision to separate the track from the main album allows the focus to remain squarely on the new material while giving listeners a chance to appreciate the historical significance of the recorded material separately. It’s a subtle nod to the legacy of the band and the memories associated with the musicians who shaped their sound.
