Ok now the dust has started to settle I still love this album! I have given this to several friends to have a listen and they were very apprehensive at first, but they really like the album. I think this is easy on the ears and very enjoyable (I don't think you can honestly say that about the last couple of Stones albums). I'm not bashing the Stones (I'm a huge fan!) I just wish they could make a record as good as this.

I agree also. Great, great album. Ronnie seems to be really focused, alive and HAPPY, don´t you think so?
Finally, after all the cheap talk about Ana Araujo, she seems to be doing a very good job with Woody, isn´t she?

I don't listen to it more often than ABB. But I think it has some well stolen things from Keith and Mick solo albums and of course from ABB.

Reading Ronnie's interview a while ago, it seems his friends helped him with songwriting.

Very good album. What I truly love, besides Ronnie's singing and playing is JK's drumming and BF's vocals. They truly give a touch of class!
On the other hand, as I already noted, I am quite surprised to see how many of those who like Ronnie's album dislike ABB, because for me these are two very similar works. Both are consistent and not over produced, guitars upfront and stripped down bands. I do like them both a lot.

I think it was the nice interview he did before having lunch with Mick, Obama and Clinton. It said that Lucky Man was Bob Rock it seems, Thing About You Gibbons... and I Don't Think So I always thought came from Bernard and Blondie.

Not that I mind, Ron is being honest about the cooperations and the result is way beyond expectations - but I wouldn't consider I Feel Like Playing a testimony of Ronnie's songwriting.
Hey Rockman safe is just fine with me. Like I said I think it's very enjoyable to listen to all depends what rocks your boat I suppose.Quote

Safe album but carries none of the underlying brutality & tension of Bigger Bang ...

Lucky Man is co-written by Eddie Vedder from what I've heard. I haven't heard that Billy wrote Thing About You, where did you get that? I Don't Think So is obviously about Jo. If that's not the case it would surprise me.

Billy Gibbons would be passing through and say, “I’ve got a song for you, ‘Thing About You.’

Tell me about the song “Catch You.”
That was from my friend Bob Rock and his partner down in Hawaii.

Once again Bob Rock said “Ronnie I’ve got the grain of a song for you, take it your way.” He said “Here’s the thing, ‘Oh I’m a lucky man.’”
