I can't recommend this album strongly enough to lovers of guitar sounds.

The Guitar is the Star.

The guitarist is the instrument.

If it's available to download would someone please give a link for those not lucky enough to have had this version of guitar nirvana.

...and not to forget - it's f***ng boooooring. If someone really wants to hear music we have heard a thousand times before buy it and support the artist:-)

BTW, I'll never forget what a good laugh my friends and I had as we first looked at the cover. Anybody noticed that his Jeans looks like he forgot to open up his zipper while urinating??

I have heard it, some nice guitar, boring songs, Yawn!

boring songs - come on now the stones have been getting by with ballads all these
years and keith has become a crooner.

Maybe Keith should listen to Twisted Sister and write another rock song.

All these ballads were sung by THE prototype rock singer.

Keith hasn't become a crooner. He has become a bad singer singing bad songs.

Hey Smith - me & my friends got a good laugh when we saw your FACE!! - MLC

Looking on the positive side again eh.......

It should have been called 'A Stone threw his career away'.

No Ket - how about " I've got the BALLS to do the right thing if you get
screwed enough" same can be said for Bill Wyman, who finally had it too...

And it was probably the best thing that could have happened to the Glimmers,
at the time. Keith was too busy with his drugs and letting Jagger/Taylor
do everything in the studio, and Taylor quiting kicked Keith in the Ass
and made him take care of business again. But it would be nice, after all these
years to have a mini - reunion and play some of that "classic: 70's music!

No, this wasn't meant to be a controversial thread.

If you don't like the songs, then fine, you don't like blues and blues-funk. Not like Blind Willy MacTell?

But the thread was for those who have not heard it, not for those of us who have heard it and have formed a strong opinion.

yeah...a little belated, but just got my copy friday last! Wow, Mick T. put out a passionate blues album!!

If you can find it, BUT IT!! Get the Japanesse version w/2 bonus tracks.

Actually the CD did "Ok" business out here in the US. Cannonball records
re-printed it a couple of times, think they siad it sold around 40,000 copies.
Not bad for word-of-mouth & no airplay. Only PR Mick got was when he sat-in
with Dave Letterman's band on TV one night. Dave pushed it a bit, although he
was being a wise-ass called Mick: James Taylor...

MLC

Letterman kept at it too - pretty funny - kept calling out for Fire and Rain...lol

T& A - Taylor didn't think so!

Did you heard when they came back from a break the band was doing: Gimme
Shelter, Taylor was smokin!!! MLC

actually I don't remember that....might have fallen asleep by then

I see the same name calling here with the same people, very funny.
By coincidence I was actually at the taping of that Letterman show. It was great to hear Taylor during the breaks jamming with Letterman's band, they pretty much let him do what he wanted. He played mostly Stones riffs like Honky Tonk Women, Brown Sugar and even a few notes from Saint of Me and a few other new ones, which surprised me. I think A Stone's Throw is pretty weak, that singer is awful. I prefer hearing Taylor's bootlegs much more. Ronnie's solo stuff is ten times better.

Dog - the SINGER is Taylor, who has a better voice than either Mr. Wood or
Keith (imo) and I think A Stones throw is better than any of Keith's solo
work!! and much better than "Dogshit in the doorway" - MLC

I miswrote what I wanted to say and meant the singer he uses live, forget his name. The one who butchers Can't YOu Hear Me Knocking. Its all a matter of taste but I prefer any of Keith's solo albums over Taylors. I love Taylor's guitar playing but not so much his songwriting. Just got a boot of Taylor live in Frankfurt 1990, which I have been listening to non-stop.

Also I like most of Mick's Goddess cd, there are a few songs I can do without.

MLC.... you need therapy...... this obsession aint good you know!

Taylor doesn't use any singers these days when he tours under his own name. On CYHMK he only does the instrumental coda nowadays...

Funny, but I agree. MLC man, you need to say something on this forum that is not about Taylor. I think Mick himself would be creeped out if he read here how you talk about him.

JJ - I'm just trying to not let this guy be forgotten, which could very well
happen, the Glimmers don't care about what he did for the Stones anymore.

and if you look around, you'll see I comment on other topics also.

Like Baboon Bro's comment on the Flying B. Bros - that was funny!! MLC

BE FORGOTTEN???????Jesus Christ thats all the @#$%& we hear about lately is Mick Taylor, Stones have a new albumn, new tour but we get plastered with this shite every day about the guy who QUIT 30 years ago! just @#$%& leave it, he is gone, is not coming back, This is not a MICK TAYLOR BOARD. He was a good guitar player but he split on his own accord. Let it go, start a Mick Taylor board where you taylorites can all gather and talk about vibratto until your blue in the face but stop with exact same crap over and over again.

PS if he was really that great he would have made something out of himself after leaving the band, he didn't!

The problem with this album is that it contains no instrumentals. There would be a HUGE improvement if MT's vocals could be erased from half the tracks.
