Could you point out where it sounds dirty? Apart from Hoo doo blues, maybe, but the rest?

Here are a few. Not exactly a sonical clarity fest, from the vocals to the guitars and the drums. Put on some Stevie Ray Vaughn afterwards and you'll get my drift.
Just Your Fool
Commit A Crime
I Gotta Go
Hate To See You Go

Yeah, compared to Stevie Ray Vaugh (or Eric Clapton or Robert Cray) I agree. I guess we think differently about what's dirty or not, but that's alright.
This is what I call dirty:
Hey Bo Diddley
Midnight Rambler
Detention Home

OMG Rambler was the dirtiest its possible to be in this realm of consciousness, spine chillingly euphoric.
Mick was incredible there, and i don't just mean Taylor, just incredible, i'd never heard that before, thanks for posting matxil

Well i had it on an old bootleg years ago on tape, and the sound was terrible, so i've never heard it like that before.
I'm not one for playing old bootlegs , i hate crap sound.

MR Brussels 73 has been out for decades in very good bootleg quality...at least the ones I got to know...and it has been released officially in various formats a couple of years ago...

Or just drop a new song or two like the younger artists do.
Working up some of the good in the vault music, would be great too.
B&L is great for that reason -IMO, of course-: no pretensions at all, just cool and fun music. You can even hear Keith going to a wrong chord on Just Yor Fool.Quote

Blue and Lonesome is superb, Crosseyed Heart is one of my all-time favourite albums, I must say.
.....
Blue and Lonesome is a collection of covers, most of which are not better than the originals (nor worse). Nice to listen to during a diner party, or while practicing some blues guitar, but hardly the best thing that ever happened to rock music. They have been able to play the blues ever since they started, the album might just has well come out in the 80s or 90s.
Crosseyed Heart is a very good album, but more than anything else it shows that if Keith would have chosen to really dedicate himself to a solo career, he might have grown out to achieve some artistical reputation on a par with Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen or Nick Cave.
Neither album means anything with relation to any upcoming Stones LP or EP. In the late 80's, Keith came out with Talk Is Cheap, which was also a very promising album but it didn't in any way whatsoever have a positive influence on the Stones output. Okay, maybe on the Keith songs on the Stones albums, giving him more confidence developing his own style, but overall the Stones albums since Talk Is Cheap have been just mediocre, with an occasional highlight on Bridges to Babylon.
Actually, if they bring out an EP, I would be more hopeful. Maybe 4 great songs they all really believe in is still possible. But I doubt it will connect to anything else going on the musical world, so the impact will be small. Never mind though, it's not completely impossible some of it might be enjoyable.
That's where our opinions differ. I like the sounds the Stones are making. It's the same songs, of course, but the Stones sound like... um, the Stones - hence the songs sound like the Stones, too. When I hear Mick sing, and the boys playing, there's something extra there. For me, B&L does NOT sound like some band going through the motions, cakewalking through numbers they can play in their sleep - far from it.

Fully agreed Dandelion !!!I think n feel the same. Its one of my fave Stones albums. Dirty n with a Swagger.

Over the years I got to appreciate at least the overall sound of the guitars on Dirty Work.Quote
OpenG
Yes love the guitars on BL - I always thought the dirty sounding guitars on Dirty Work were some of the best studio guitar work Keith and Ron did. DW is a great sounding guitar record just tune out the lyrcis.

Listening to Rambler again there, brings to mind that Taylor got the best out of Keith, he reached far greater heights with Taylor, he got a bit lazy with the rhythm with Ronnie. Keith was best leaving the soloing to Taylor and concentrating on the rhythm. Just hearing that made me realise how watered down the Stones have become with the Chucks and Clifford's, plus Jagger was so much more potent when he just hovered around the mic stand and the band with his Jagger moves as opposed to going for a walk jog these days.

Will we have IORR-correspondents out in Paris for updates on the Stones's studio sessions?

When I saw Brian Wilson recently..it was Brian plus around 11 musicians. All very Beach Boys sounding but the rationale for 11? That's double the original group.

Why not play the song Dirty Work live - the guitars sound awesome, Keith should play Sleep Tonight live along with others coming down again -
Just think of a stones live show without the war horses the possibilities are endless, they would of course have to up their game and take chances.

Please Mick, no more bluesy crapola.
We want a new Stones album, just Stones original material

To be honest, I've been waiting for this album for so long that a wait of 8 months or less feels like it's coming next week!

Here's another way to look at it: think of all the GOOD and REALLY GOOD songs they've not played and don't play.
Hence no songs anymore since 1989-90 from their worst LP.
