I wonder why when we discuss Keith solo, Wingless Angels never gets mentioned.
Despite not having any KR songs on them I consider those two WA albums, the second in particular, fully legitimate KR babies!

I only know the first, which, indeed is great. And it shows a side of Keith which especially non-Stones fans wouldn't easily know: subtlety (impossible word to write by the way).
So, the second is even better? I thought it would be just left-overs from the 1st session. In what way is it better? Is it still available anywhere anyway?
One could say that WA I is WA's live album (with overdubs) while WA II is their studio album.
WA II has the same vibe, but Justin Hinds' stellar vocals and the usual subtle (impossible indeed to write) layers of guitars and basses and vocals that characterize all Keith albums bring the songs to a stellar level.
If you like WA I, you will love II. In particular if you play it LOUD, dancing open air in a hot summer night!

Make no mistake-when I say negative shit about Keith that’s inside stuff for the board and hardcore fans to digest.
In real life I’ve told guitar players right to their face that Keith Richards is the best rock and roll guitar player that ever lived-the stammering and but but Hendrix,Page and and and ..always makes me laugh.
I always say the same thing - what about the song? What about the groove.are you playing a song or just hitting a bunch of notes and making everyone say wow!?
He makes it look so easy that it fools you but have you ever heard anyone actually play a guitar like Keith.you end up with the Black Crowes or something and thinking “great,nice try kid”
With the tour coming up I’ve been listening to alot of boots,live and studio which is the only Stones I listen to anyway as well as Main Offender and Talk is Cheap.they are better than I remember.
Struggle has been in my head,the way he just nails that opening,da da dant da and then lets it hang for just the right second.man that’s timing,that’s guitar playing.
I’m gonna grab this set and circle back to cross eyed heart as well,I only gave it a quick listen and it didn’t really click the first time.
seems a reasonable amount of love for it...I only listened to it once as well and found it a snoozer...may give it another chance on the weekend.

OK...so what was the verdict?
I need to decide between this and a visit down memory lane with Talk Is Cheap, in honour of the 30th anniversary release. I believe I have a sealed vinyl copy of it somewhere...I wonder if it's worth something now?!

^ That dude in the second video...lol...he almost has Keith's signature moves and posing down perfectly - kicks and all!
Looks like he was slowing down a bit towards the end though, and almost out of breath!

IMHO nothing comes close to Slipping Away, How Can I Stop, All About You or Coming Down Again. Sleep Tonite's a gem as well though maybe not in the same League as the aforementioned.

am I the only one, who is dissapointed from that outtakes?
Talk is cheap is beside Exile my absolute favorite album. I love the boodtleg outtakes as well and was so excited to get them in good quality and more unheard pearls - But where is "She Knew What She Wanted, Breakin', the embryonic Almost hear you sight, the extended an alternate versions, even MARK ON ME, the only real outtake is faded in, faded out without any love and without the great Hammond part near minute 13.
Insead we got Blues Jam sessions and two nice but not great covers. Waiting now for the 50-years edition...

Some live material and/or video would have topped it off nicely. Still, I absolutely love the guitar box! Don't think there could be any improvement there.

Curiously, This was the CD that got me interested in the stones in the first place - a Beatles Girl through and through until this.
I’m not sure what it is about what it, because it’s very rough and ready - perhaps the sheer rage of songs like You Don’t Move Me Any More - which my daughter( in her teens - no interest in The Stones ) considered to be the absolutely ultimate break up song.
id love to have seen the Winos ( on a good night ) play live.
