Are those Sinatra and Great American Songbook covers albums worth checking out?Quote

It's just a tribute album ….
Dylan's been doin the same for the last 4-5 years ….
True enough, and the results speak for themselves.
Probably the nadir of his entire recording career depending on who you ask, though some diehards still like them just because it's Dylan.
Again, hats off to Ronnie for keeping busy, and cheers to those who want to have "fun" listening to his tribute.
(...as if there aren't enough Chuck Berry covers tunes in the world already....)
On the bright side, I'm sure he'll sell a handful of albums to help pay for his art supplies and/or some lessons.

I'm far from a Dylan completist, but they sound intriguing. Just haven't gotten around to them.

He put out a fckng Chuck Berry covers album? Geezuz Christ on a stick, next thing you know he’ll be trying to sell us drawings of his bandmates hands.
I’m a big Ronnie fan but I think he could use a manager right about now.

I think they are. Even if it's not your type of music it's interesting to hear him tackle these songs and he hits some notes I never thought possible.
Ronnie started playing in the early 60s, like Mick and Keith even though he's a little younger, and he sounded just like Mick and Keith that music. There comes a moment in life that you look back and see everything you've done and realize who you've been influenced by and it is normal to offer them a tribute. I don't see anything wrong with it, but if you think it's just for money, don't buy the album and don't download it from the internet, nobody forces you.Quote

Its kinda cute that Ronnie is covering a Chuck Berry that Mick and Keith et al covered ages ago before Ronnie was a Stone. Likely 11 years before Ronnie got Sanctified as second guitar. These days he is primary guitar and plays lots of Keith's old parts. Jagger appreciates this immensely but will not say so publicly. All in all the Stones keep Rolling due to their Mick-Ronnie combo plus all their immense and loyal support musicians and support staff that want and need paychecks.

Ronnie cut "Sweet Little Rock 'n' Roller" and "Memphis, Tennessee" back in the early 1970s with The Faces. He was cutting Elvis covers with The Jeff Beck Group in the late 1960s and Motown covers with The Birds in the mid-sixties. None of this is new to him. He is over 70 as well.
Yes, even if in the first 5 albums of Rod Stewart all the members of Faces have collaborated, Ronnie in particular is attributed on almost all the songs, some of them are by Stewart / Wood.Quote

Technically "Sweet Little Rock 'N' Roller" was on Rod's Smiler album and not all of the Faces appeared on the track.

Yep. Ronnie made his professional recording debut only a year-or-so after the Stones. Not sure where this ‘11 years’ is coming from.

My wish, a Dylan's cover album by Ronnie
