TuneLit has not measured this record. The tuning comes from community sources, at concert pitch unless they say otherwise.

Chicago blues covers, tabbed in standard tuning. Recorded live in the studio in three days at British Grove in London in December 2015, with Mick Jagger on harmonica on most songs and Eric Clapton as a guest on two (Everybody Knows About My Good Thing and I Can't Quit You Baby). The originals come from Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Reed and Magic Sam, so the keys follow the harmonica: tune to concert pitch and let the song pick the key. Not in TuneLit's library, so not measured.
