Jagger reportedly said that "Boogie" by Little Walter is one of his favourite blues songs of all time. The blues artist was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.

"I had to put in a Little Walter track, who is everyone's favorite harmonica player, of course mine," Jagger said. "This is an instrumental I found called 'Boogie'."
