I suspect that some are fans of somebody because and as long as they're in the Stones, no matter what they actually deliver but I could be wrong, of course.
What is delivered here? Well, if Sympathy For The Devil is an example for the rest of the album, obviously not much, I'm afraid. The arrangement is too close to the original and does not create a new, creative angle to a well-known track, and the vocal delivery can't hold a candle to Mick. Sorry, Bernard, but who needs this?

listened to sftd
just awful but confirms the reason why he's a back up singer who never got
a cameo. he's very good at what he's hired for. but we sometimes tend
to go too far is my feeling generally, as to stones associated
performers doing stones associated solo stuff...
...basically they are not, with rare exceptional grace notes...that interesting.
it's sort of a novelty. it's copycat noise.
if i don't look at jjf and listen to Bernard; like that clip where
keith is there...well, a whole lot of shit bar bands do a much more
credible jjf. sorta crappy imo.

Have been trying to rephrase it a few times now, but truth is, Bernard is just not a very good songwriter and his albums are mostly of interest to people who want more music somewhat related to the Stones universe.

I think he did a great job, the background music is stellar.

Bernard was great on Ronnie's Slide On Live.

I'll wait to hear more tracks before judging it substandard. Right now a Last Poets rendition of SFTD is interesting, but I'm hoping that's not the only trick he's tried. Mostly curious about the UNDERCOVER material.

Very well done interview, roller99! Thanks for posting!
"Dancing With Mr. D" is my favorite track from this album, so thank you for asking him about that one.
It was also nice to read this:
"Have there been any particular moments with the Stones that stand out for you?
I’ll give you two of those moments. 1.5 million people on the beach in Brazil, and when we played to 900,000 people in Cuba."

Thanks as always Cristiano! I always try to take you along with me on these things. I don't remember if I told you, but he did give a big shout out to you and the Argentinian fans in particular. He says he "loves his South American fans".
