SUPERHEAVY IS EXCELLENT

The Rolling Stones have been criss-crossing North America these past few weeks. Rolling Stones fans have been bemoaning the anemic amount of new music from these guys over the past couple of decades it might be instructive to get acquainted with some of the 'side-projects' that have involved Mick Jagger.  One such side project was SUPERHEAVY.  As you know, I was SUPER HEAVY back in December 2014.  However my condition of being SUPER HEAVY should not be confused with a collection of musicians who got together in 2011 and created one SUPER album.  They called themselves SUPERHEAVY.  They called their album SUPERHEAVY. Rolling Stones fans mostly yawned at this release.  Not me, I thought initially, and still a few years later... That the music on this album was terrific.  

I NEVER ENJOYED BEING SUPERHEAVY.
I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED SUPERHEAVY.

Last evening, at my Chabad House where I enjoyed a few 'L'chaims' - the alcohol on the menu was ZACHLAWI FIG ARAK

There is only one ARAK made with Figs and this is it! This amazingly smooth product provides a gentle Anise flavor with subtle hints of fruit and wood undertones. It maintains a long lingering finish with a slightly spicy mouth feel. Try an amazingly different product. Fig Arak: produced in small batches by hand with figs soaking in alcohol for no less than 120 days

from wikipedia on SUPERHEAVY:

The existence of SuperHeavy was secret until May 2011. Mick Jagger, English musician and the lead vocalist of rock band The Rolling Stones, announced its formation on 20 May 2011. SuperHeavy was Dave Stewart's idea. Inspired by the sounds washing into his home in St Ann's Bay, Jamaica, Stewart urged Jagger to fuse their sound with that of Indian orchestras. Stewart and Jagger had mutual liking for Indian orchestrations; thus, A. R. Rahman was added to the supergroup. The name of the band is said to be inspired by Muhammad Ali.

In early 2009, Jagger, Rahman, Stewart, Joss Stone and Damian Marleyexperimented at Jim Henson Studios in Los Angeles, trying to "write songs which had meaning", during which they recorded 29 songs in 10 days. SuperHeavy is rounded out by Marley's rhythm section of bassist/composer Shiah Coore and drummer Courtney Diedrick along with a longtime Stewart collaborator, rock violinist Ann Marie Calhoun.

The group began recording their self-titled debut album in early 2009 at a studio in Los Angeles. They recorded about 35 hours of music, with some songs originally lasting "an hour and 10 minutes" before they were whittled down. The album was previewed at Jim Henson Studios, Los Angeles, on 30 June 2011. The band played eight of the recorded songs at the event. Their debut single, "Miracle Worker", released on 6 July 2011 received mostly positive reviews. Mick Jagger sings in Sanskrit on "Satyameva Jayathe" ("truth alone triumphs"), the second single, released on 9 August 2011. Composed by Rahman, the song also features Stewart, Stone and Marley.
