Alternate Dirty Work is another title with a bunch of these tracks, which are indeed mighty mighty fine. and let's not forget that sweet plaintive She Never Listen to Me. :E
Keith was really exploring his LV range during the DW sessions. this is a quote from Steve Appleford's It's Only Rock and Roll (thanks to BrownEyedGirll for tracking it down):
"I do feel better singing these days," Richards told the LA Herald Examiner in 1986. "Before, I was always just singing one song now and then, and in circumstances like that, you don't really get a chance to open the pipes up. On [Dirty Work], with Mick not being around, I was in front of the microphone all the time, because you get a much better response out of the Stones if somebody's bellowing away on vocals. It doesn't even matter if you don't have sensible lyrics. The timing and phrasing of a vocal helps the band establish its rhythm and character. By the time it got around to recording my own vocals, my voice had thickened up quite a bit. I remember telling Bobby Womack that I hadn't done so much singing since I was a soprano at Westminster Abbey. Come to think of it, that was probably the most prestigious gig of my career."
"What do you want - what?!"
