I am glad that somebody else feels that the vocals is the weak point of the otherwise very strong record. I don't think Mick is a blues singer; his singing does not have the balls of the great masters..

Not sure what you heard, but it certainly wasn't the same thing I have been listening to.

I don't think I've ever heard cooler blues singing than on Hoo Doo Blues and Little Rain.
Mick's voice is perfect for blues now. Now, he has a bit darker voice, hence his singing is more credible and authentic than in his younger years.
This is Mick's best singing since Undercover, imo. I know many don't like that album, but his singing on it was excellent.

okay okay... It is not what I hear but what I like. Son House, Bukka White... Personal preference.

I disagree - they have done a lot better. Listen to the band at their bluesiest in the early 60s, late 60s, early to mid 70s. When I heard their debut album i couldnt connect those little pics on the back sleeve to the music and the vocals. I knew they had to have another singer. This is Peter Pan pretending to sing the blues. I enjoy some of the music but thats about it.

It's not about "past glory" and all that. It's about NOW. That's all it is. So what if they've done better in the past. In the past they've also done worse (DIRTY WORK through A BIGGER BANG is a great example). Weirdly enough A BIGGER BANG is quite raw but some of it is too baked (Streets Of Love, Rain Fall Down, Sweet Neo Con) and it's too long.
This blows all of those albums away. No one is saying it's better than (BB, LIB, SF, EOMS). Just that it's about damn time they did something good.

Isn't it Jagger being Jagger? Bulletin: Mick Jagger really isn't Howling' Wolf, Magic Slim, Willie Dixon or Eddie Taylor. Refreshing vocals on B&L, harkens back to Dear Doctor and Melody!!

I suspect the (commercial) success of the new album has rather caught Mick and the boys at Universal by surprise. Lets hope it gives them the motivation and confidence to finish an album of new material and then tour to promote.
