For the better part of 40 years, Mick Jagger has played to roaring stadium crowds while his older brother, Chris, embarked on his own music career to the awareness of few and the applause of a very select fanbase. Chris Jagger's latest album, Concertina Jack, features younger brother Mick singing background vocals on two songs, the title track and "Pearl of a Girl."
In the low-budget video for "Concertina Jack," you can see a slight family resemblance between Mick and Chris, but their performances styles couldn't be more different. Chris is the yin to Mick's yang, the doughy good guy to Mick's scrappy bad boy. Chris, dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, boogies to the camera as he sings, and dances and cooks bread with children, grinning widely throughout.
Despite
Chris's relative anonymity, he's been passionate and persistent with
music, combining blues, country, and rock on seven solo albums since
1973 and releasing three zydeco albums with his band Atcha (which
changed their name to Atcha Acoustic for 1997's From Lhasa to Lewisham). Concertina Jack
is technically being issued by Chris Jagger's Atcha!, which explains
the zydeco and blues influences; it's his first release since his 2009
solo album The Ridge.
