Mick's vocals sound good, but it's interesting to see how some Stones fans can be so easily pleased these days. guess when there's nothing else happening, even a hokey country duet can fill the void.
Is this tune really worthy of some of the high praise it's getting? Personally I don't think so. Might last awhile on country radio, but for the rest of the world it will soon be buried and forgotten.

Haha.. that was exactly what I was thinking when reading the reception of CROSSEYED HEART here...
But seriously, not nothing else happening? Man, they just released a new album six months ago that is still charting, and Richards one a year before that, and they are now in a process of making and releasing a new album.. Add there their almost constant gigging since 2012, yeah, now having a brief rest but most likely to continue their celebrational tour in the autumn. Then there are all those archive relaeses we been treated plus the concert/tour films & recordings (like the FINGERS gig at Fonda)... Probably it is not like it was in the 60's when they released a new single every four months and two albums a year, but c'mon... remember what it was like between 2007 and 2011... Those were dry years...

No new Start Me Up - I just like the riff and the Telesound. The rest is pretty weak. Would've been much much better if the Stones had recorded it.

I relistened the song and probably due those two components you mentioned - "Start Me Up" and Telesound - it reminds me very much of the poppish muzak version of "Start Me Up", that is, "Don't Stop".
Could it be that Jagger himself played the trademark guitar here?

I thank the good Lord above that this subpar radio-rock-pop-ditty is NOT a Stones-track...
