Charlie is great on Ride 'Em On Down

Charlie is always great

This album showcases his greatness........

But what about Jim Keltner being on there?
Does Charlie play all tracks?
Playing ABB to celebrate the last days of ABB being the new album.

Keltner adds percussion on Hoo Doo Blues

I think this album is going to sell very well

Hope they will play a few club shows and play the whole damn thing.

From more or less one full listen via the record label's internet stream (plus the internet-prereleased tracks), a review on The Arts Desk of Blue & Lonesome. It's great, it holds up without any sag, the seams don't break, the energy is in the room, you can just tell this comes off the cuff and in the pocket. It's a great and special album in the Stones canon. You wonder if their opening-night hanging out at Exhibitionism's Edith Grove rooms and looking at Keith's little diary of setlists and gigs that list some of these songs from 62-63 helped them roll back the curtains.

…heard the album today…what can i say: f*** great.
"all of your love" is maybe the best jagger-vocal-performance ever recorded on a stones-studio-record. screamin!
"hoo doo blues" - jagger smooth mood. like the deep phrases in "all the way down" or "dead flowers" from stripped.

Insane vocals from Mick. No one will doubt him as a blues singer after this.

Keith's solo on All Of Your Love reminds me of his licks on Melody.

Sensational!

Love the whammy bar-ending of Ronnies solo on Just Like I Treat You!

could someone re-post the Ride Em On Down link....

Thank you

"The songs sound pretty authentic, actually," said the 72-year-old Richards.

"We played them more like a Chicago band than we've ever done."

But only a few lucky fans may be able to experience the tracks live, according to Jagger.

"In a stadium it's hard to do," he said of the band's blues-based catalogue.

"If you were in a small club, if you could ask the Stones to play quietly, if that was possible, then you could probably do it."

Let's hope so !!

The thing i am missing is a track with Keef on Vocals.

From The Arts Desk, the review text if the subscription panel pops up.

I'm loving this new album, can't wait to exchange an online reviewer's stream for a proper CD

ROLLING BACK THE YEARS TO THE DEEP CHICAGO BLUES
(http://www.theartsdesk.com/new-music/cd-rolling-stones-blue-lonesome)

It’s a been a good year for the Stones as they play into their sixth decade – a free festival audience in Havana in March, preceded by an adulatory South American trek that saw some of the band’s best performances in recent times – down at the crunchy bottom end of Keef and Ronnie’s two-guitar dynamic, heard best on the new Havana Moon set, where the Cuban audience of one million warm-blooded souls see the Stones raise their game to make Havana their best live outing on record since the Love You Live set from the Seventies.

It’s as if the over-produced, over-choreographed big tours of the Nineties, when the band became a brand in the fullest sense, has given way to the core four being a real live band again. If further proof of returning to basic principles were needed, then Blue & Lonesome is it – the result of a three-day gathering at Mark Knopfler’s British Grove Studios in West London to work on as yet unfinished new songs, but reverting instead to the reverberating repertoire of their club days, the same songs a teenage Keith noted in his tiny diaries (recently on show at the Saatchi Gallery). That is, the Chicago Blues.

As any good barman knows, there’s a time to clear the taps, and that’s what Blue & Lonesome seems to have done for the Stones. At times, Jagger’s vocals sound as fresh and uninflected as they do on their first three albums and EPs. The Ronnie and Keith shadow play on guitars is crunchier and punkier than any time since those 1977 Pathe-Marconi sessions – the sound of a room in Paris – and the live and electric feel of Blue & Lonesome sees the band energetically testing the sound of a room some 29 years later, the excitement and impulsion palpable not only on the cuts themselves but in the off-mic shouts and cries you can hear at the front and back of the juiciest performances.

Being wholly covers, it is more annex than central part of the canon, but rewarding and essential if you’re a Stones fan, and a lot of fun if you’re a more casual listener. The tunes they chose to light upon are pretty deep and wild ones – Howlin’ Wolf's inexorable “Commit a Crime”, the outrageous down-home imagery of Johnny Taylor's “Everyone Knows About my Good Thing” (with guest Eric Clapton playing a strong slow blues), Jagger’s howling harp on Lightnin’ Slim’s “Hoo Doo Blues” peeling away from the meat and bones of song like a rotten undervest.

The best of these cuts are as sharp as blades, with very little fat left untrimmed. The Stones may be the last of the breed when it comes to extant classic rock bands from an era now so far from our dystopian own it feels like a distant Byzantium, and with the Chicago Blues in their pocket, they still know how to roll, and no one else will ever roll it quite like them."

and no one else will ever roll it quite like them

Have I missed something?

To quote a friend (and totally agreeing with him after listening to the complete record):

I had low expectations going in but I have to admit that I am BLOWN AWAY!!! It is really authentic and gut bucket sounding for the most part, wasn't sure they could pull it off but they sure did!

Any review is just one opinion. I didn't think year end lists were necessarily based on the publication's review. They're likely ranked by different people.

A lot of wrong and half-cocked opinions at RS since 1986.

Album is a grower, after listening again after 10 hours off it sounds way better than yesterday, I really like the sound on it, its raw but hot at the same time and it flows so well, I love the band's talking at the end of many songs, it was cut live and it shows.
