Bought the CD for myself and some guitar picks for my son off of Keith's website. I did my part, so come on Keith, send me a signed copy!

Could very well be about this young lass.

Hey welcome to the site librarian! Could be talking about 2 to 4 hours which is probably how long Theo spent in jail. I can't imagine Keith is much of the parental talk type unless he is answering questions, probably leaves the tough stuff up to Patti. I mean his kids are surely more mature than him, no?

ah yes... nothing like a "fan site" to start mocking someone's children.
you should delete your posts naturalist.

"Trouble" is like "Can't Be Seen". The trouble is she is married or something.

Lyrics to "Can't Be Seen": "I just can't be seen with you...because you're

married anyway, oh shit..."

Well ... much as I agree that mocking people's children isn't okay, I don't see any mocking in the above.
And haven't most parents said "trouble is your middle name" to their kids at some point?? At least in mine did!
Not that I think the lyrics are about Theo any more than they're about anyone else who's ever been in any trouble.

I do object to the notion that any hypocrisy would be involved in Keith's conversations with his kids.
He's never been busted for nailpolishing graffiti on a convent wall. Unless it was hushed up :E

I'm going with "fictional scenario," as far as the lyrics are concerned.

The song about a prisoner's followed by the song about a prisoner of loneliness

bye bye johnny

The crowd offered its biggest applause for "Blues In the Morning," a surprisingly vital track featuring the scorching sax of late Stones sax player Bobby Keys.

Somebody get me a napkin, I'm drooling!!!

After listening to the song lots of times (lots) the second part of the chorus still flips me.

Baby trouble is your middle name <--- that's straight forward, but then in between and into ...
The trouble is that that's your game

there seems to be a chord and/or a time signature change. not the vocals though.

somehow I just can't get my head around this and I'm wondering if it was a mistake during recording.
deemed good and left alone.
I understand that some mistakes can be the spice of a song and I'm not complaining.
but what the heck is happening here?

They just skip a bar...

The first part of the chorus is shorter: two 4 beats bars and one 2 beats bar. The second part is three 4 beats bars.

(There's also an extra 4 beats bar at the end of the verse)

Exactly, thanks sssoul. The line "Trouble is Your Middle Name" along with the pop flavor of the tune (coming from Keith) just kind of reminded me of a parent talking/singing to their kid. I assure you there is no mocking or disrespect going on here Turner.

Good to hear from you Naturalust, i was worried you were gone for a while there

Any where I troll thru the internet I see Keith and Cross-eyed Heart promoted. Good to see it's getting marketed properly. Just saw it on accuweather.com!!

Kind of funny they are previewing the record to "trusted" industry and press and making them all promise not to do full reviews until closer to the release date. I guess it's a good way to spread the hype out and create a build up. They will probably be sending out lots of free copies to all the music bloggers right before the release to say OK everybody can talk about this now.

It's promo business as usual. though I think pre-listening parties are becoming uncommon while viral marketing is becoming more and more common. nothing better than free promo from blogger/fans embargo is the norm anyway

Hahahahahahaha, oh this is funny.

All of the pre-release reviews seem to be raving positive - looking forward to my copy!


Out of curiosity, had any of Mick's solo releases garnered this much positivity amongst fans and critics alike?

Keith is a media darling, even more so since Life came out. Not hard to understand the positive vibes given to him by fans and press really. Mick is a full fledged superstar but I wouldn't generally call him a media darling.

Or perhaps the positivity towards the new release is simply based on the quality, integrity, and authenticity of the music itself.



*I don't think any of those three words (quality, integrity, and authenticity) have ever been applied to any of Micks solo releases - at least not by me.
