"Gimme Shelter" is a track we have wanted to record for years. This song expresses the urgency we all face to unite together as a planet and offers us wisdom with the words, "War, children, it's just a shot away... Love, sister, it's just a kiss away". It really is that simple. We dedicate this song to all the lost, homeless and forgotten people in this world. It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band-a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation-a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.
To learn more about the work of the PFC Foundation, visit www.playingforchange.org

@@4ctmam I think Charlie probably would detest it. It's lost the rhythmic drive completely. I appreciate it the way it is, but man it feels gutted by comparison to most other versions of the song. Great cause though. Most of the Playing for Change series I really like, musically speaking, but not this one.

@@slimturnpike Well, it's a very different take, it loses the original groove totally, yeah. But I like that it's different, otherwise what's the point of doing a cover? And this version brings ouit the melodic aspects of the composition more.

Sweet mercy. This is my go-to so far. The level of talent here can't be contained! War, Children... it's just a shot away. Love, Children... it's just a kiss away. Kiss away.

I never thought such a change in tempo and melody could be so good. This is my favorite song and I'm protective of it and I love how you guys went "off script" like you did.

This is without a doubt the best cover I have EVER heard of this Stones classic. The tempo was very imaginative, cooled it down and gave it a serious tone that made you ponder the point the song is making. Roselyn Williams killed it (she's OH so good looking, too!); she's the only person I've heard sing who can project power and serenity simultaneously. What resounds though the entire set is the bass line and Roberto Luti's sliding on that beat-up old steel guitar that must have a million miles on it by now. The emphatic timing of Taj Mahal's belts is like an atomic clock. Such a great piece, and like you I was knocked off my feet by this. Masterpiece.
