For the first time ever Ron is the dominant guitarist and Keith is second fiddle with one short solo. Enough with the harmonica , more guitar solos please

More guitar solos as on SFTD on recent tours?
Please no, let Keith play rhythm and acoustic, he still ok with that.

I didnt forget those at all but on this album Keith seems to be doing less than ever before. As on stage in the last few tours Ron is doing more and Keith less . Usually on record it's easy to tell who is playing what, but not this time. Is this because Keith is buried in the mix ? Well that's a first ! Is it the mixers fault ? Maybe , but I have never found it harder to hear and distinguish what Keith is playing

Keith plays rhythm guitar on the whole album, Ronnie is doing almost all the riffs except on Ride Em On Down and Little Rain, that's Keith, Hoo Doo Blues has Keith on slide too.

psssst . I'll say this in a whisper.
I'm quite surprised that a few nay sayers haven't piped up to say that "...the only thing missing is Bill."
Hope I haven't woken them up !

How a stones fan can not appreciate B&L and can not appreciate the way the band plays on it - finding all kind of flaws: originals are better, listen to 1964 they were better then, where's keith, mick's showcase, to high, to low in the mix... - is beyond me
this is a damn good album
YES .... and YES ain't it strange to read the ones who digging around
trying their hardest to find fault with it ...

this album stands on its own at this stage of their carreer.
to compare it with their greatest has no sense, because it's a cover album in 2016. as new as it may sound to some fans here the rolling stones were a "better" band in the seventies (in their thirties). Can we give that for granted and move on and hear their music now for what it is?
Then. How a stones fan can not appreciate B&L and can not appreciate the way the band plays on it - finding all kind of flaws: originals are better, listen to 1964 they were better then, where's keith, mick's showcase, to high, to low in the mix... - is beyond me

While Keith might not be up and front in an obvious way to some people, he is indeed there throughout in a big way.
I would consider Keith the Godfather of this album...behind the scenes, giving the orders, directing the plans, and making it happen.
Without Keith, this album wouldn't be what it is - the only thing missing is a lead vocal.

It´s a group playing together. They know what to do, and it sounds great to me.
Left or right channel? Who gives a @#$%&?
