He included the Kennedy line in SFTD, that's something.

Mr. Fowler did indeed go deep, can you hear Gil Scott Heron in there ?

Four tracks from Undercover! There's a lot of love on iorr for that 1983 album, me included, always felt it had something unique and was one of their most rhythmic stews. Bernard choosing four UC tracks that make up half on "Inside Out" is intriguing.

No thanks, but wondering how it will compare to Chuck's recently recorded Stones covers - surely it will be much better?

Why dismiss it out of hand like that without even hearing it. Have you ever heard any of Fowler's solo material? He has a stellar list of the top studio musicians to work with. Open your mind a bit.

Yes I've heard him before, and have seen many live clips of him performing outside the Stones, and it's just not my cup of tea.
And if you were to read further down the thread, you will see I did listen to his new version of Sympathy and my expectations were confirmed - no thanks -and to be blunt I think it's horrible.
My mind is always wide open for something new, but sometimes when you're already familiar with something, you can sort of anticipate what the results will be, as was the case here.

Let's simplify it for you roller - Sting is backed by great musicians and I've heard plenty of his solo material in the past. Based on on that, I can anticipate anything else he releases in the future is probably not going to be something I would all of the sudden appreciate. And then you have artists like Celine Dion, clearly her backing musicians are excellent at what they do, but is that reason enough to all of the sudden like her, or what she comes up with next? I don't think so. Based on what I know and have heard from Bernard, I sort of knew what the results would be, and there's also the fact I'm not really a fan of bands covering Stones tunes (in most cases). Bottom line is, I'm not a fan of his outside the Stones. Obviously you are, and more power to you.
EDIT: In response to your "covers" and "contradictory" comments, Bernard's cover versions cannot (and really should not) be equated to what the Stones did back in 1963 with their groundbreaking cover versions imo.
But if you're saying they're in the same league and of equal quality , or that if someone likes the Stones early covers then they better like Bernard's also (or else they're being contradictory), then I don't know what else to say other than glad you enjoy it.
