Tell Me :
Talk
I love it! The problem w/ it though is that most of the songs seem to have the same sound, vibe, beat. Still it has some of my favorite Ronnie tunes, Worry No More, We All Get Old, Buried Alive, Come To Realize.
The production is worse than anything I've ever heard. IORR and the sound on Bye Bye Johnnie included.
Isn't 'Seven Days' on that album? If it is it's a great great album...

Has anyone ever listened to the Charlie Watts Jim Keltner project?
Do you have to have acquired taste to comment on it?
A favorite!

They're both sloppy, but GSN is so muddy and the mix is so twisted that I can't enjoy it. The sound is below garage rehearsal quality.
Seven Days is listenable, but the pedal steel cut through so awkwardly, and so often, that it destroys the song.
I don't think Roy Thomas Baker was happy with that one.
Many very good songs on there, though, songs that came to life during the New Barbarians-tour.
I think your observations are spot on. I do very much like Ronnie's last album mind you.
also -
"Long Ago And Far Away", and "Warm & Tender"
when I first heard these it opened up a whole new area of jazz songs I had never heard..
and its interesting to hear Charlie and Bernard Fowler, with a small jazz group. nice.
why did you?
Long Ago And Far Away is a nice album and it's perfect to listen to it at the end of the night with a glass of wine or two.
And one of the greatest things about the Stones' music is that I became interested in jazz because of that Take the 'A' Train intro on Still Life when I first heard it (I think I was 15 or 16 years old at that time). Like you wrote, it opened a whole new world to me.
You may apply in the "Real Stones Fan"-Thread.
I don't have a problem with the thread. duh.
Bad mix but always liked seven days and this one:
[www.youtube.com]
Not necessarily for this album!
Back in the Vinyl days I picked up some bootleg of the New Barbarians...and THAT was unbearable. I tried to listen over and over again, hoping it wouldn't sound like total garbage and it was impossible. Maybe I got the wrong one...? Anyway, it was miles worse than listening to GSN.... Although I see on Youtube oddly enough a couple of New Barbarian concert clips that quite good.. at least compared to that bootleg I once had.
Good list but Gimme Some Neck comes close, despite the shitty production.
Talk about your favorite band.

Yes, all fine albums, but maybe time for people to give a listen to Ron Woods Gimme Some Neck again. It does seem forgotten. And, its quite good..

Gimme Some Neck would be a great album if it didn't have horrible production (it's worse then Dirty Work!)
Is it true Ronnie wrote Buried Alive with Clapton during the No Reason to Cry sessions?

I like the raw production of Gimme Some Neck. I think it's way superior to 1234, which to me sounds unfocused and sloppy in comparison

Wandering Spirit - excellent
She's The Boss, Primitive Cool and Goddess In The Doorway all have great songs but as total albums are inconsistent - do like She's The Boss alot though
Talk Is Cheap - Great
Main Offender - A Few great songs but mainly more riffs than great songs
Mick Taylors - First Album is excellent and A Stone's Throw also very strong
Ron Wood - Gimme Some Neck is a lost classic to me. Love It. I Got My Own Album To Do and Slide On This also very strong. The rest are spotty.
Bill Wyman - An acquired taste but I think Monkey Grip and the self Titled 3rd album are really good. Stone Alone less so.
Charlie - well you have to be a fan of jazz to be a fan

thanks for the list i'll see if i can grab them cheap never really listened to any of their solo stuff except some of micks
aren't you interested in Charlie's?
I love his live album with the A, B, C and D of Boogie Woogie (recorded in Paris). I know there's no new music on it, but it's a very fine record.
If I can, I have a few recommendations on Watts' albums...LIVE At Fulham Town Hall is great, his album he did with Jim Keltener is pretty good, nothing amazing, nothing horrible...The 'From One Charlie To Another' CD is pretty good.
Thanks!
also -
"Long Ago And Far Away", and "Warm & Tender"
when I first heard these it opened up a whole new area of jazz songs I had never heard..
and its interesting to hear Charlie and Bernard Fowler, with a small jazz group. nice.

they are all a waste of time and songwriting.
i cant think of one song on a solo record by mick.keith or ronnie that couldnt have been done better by the rolling stones.
i've listened to all of them but not alot,they have the same place in my collection as bootlegs.instead of "oh,they should've finished that one it could've been something" it is instead-"oh they should've used that for the stones record,it could've been something".

I played the hell out of Gimme Some Neck, perhaps because I was seeing and saw the New Barbarians show at Madison Square Garden back in 1979. Anyway i just went back and played it again. Still sounds great to me. I think it's still the best Ronnie solo album. I did forget his last album I Feel Like Playing. Actually it's also pretty strong, though didn't get too much turntable time for me, and that's what I really judge the success of an album by.
