Drum cover in Charlie Watts style
[youtu.be]

OK, this song has definitely grown on me. On first listen to the album my gut reaction was this was the weakest song... but I like it a lot more. I think the only thing that really bugs me is in the intro - I know, I know, classic Keith... however, it is just too similar to Tumbling Dice. I wish they had entered the song a different way so it is a little more unique. It suffers the same problem as "one more shot" which has an intro too similar to Street Fighting Man... Apart from that though, definitely a solid keeper!

It would be funny if it was actually Mick doing those power riffs, like on Highwire...Is it all Keith here? Or Both? Again, those damn song credits..

One of my favorites! The chorus is beautiful….I just love Mick on it. And of course the way he sings “slow”.

This is a really fun song it just has a great groove. It's too bad Charlie can't be on his one. Steve does well though.

Keith left and right, Mick adds some in the left channel and Ronnie on B-bender. Keith plays the solo.

I meant to say in my post that it is very fun. I just love this one!

been pushed away on first listens by the TD replica intro, then I realized that there was much more. A crosseyed heart's song gone stoned

love it now

Yep this is about right. When I first heard it I didn’t actually “listen” to it apart from the TD intro. But now, living IN it, I absolutely love it. One of The Stones’ greats. Along with Depending on You. That too is just amazing.

It was one of my two favorite HD songs from my first listen. Probably because it sounds like a Stones song from the past, yet it doesn't remind me of any earlier songs, except of course for the opening chords. And immediately, I thoght it was a Keith song. But Mick does outstanding vocals; it's a better song with Mick's vocals. Guitars are great. I've listened to this more than any other song. Hope they include it in at least a few 2024 setlists.

It's somewhat simple and won't win praise from music critics. But I'd make it slightly simpler by deleting some of the multiple background vocal "Drivin"s near the end, the first one and a couple others fit in well, but some of them needlessly take focus from Mick's superb vocals. It's a wonderful late career gem for Stones music fans

I love everything about this track, and did from the very first listen. The sloping Stones swagger, a majestic roll, and in 2023! Amazing. And the beautiful Glimmer Twins harmonies just give me the feels every time.

Not much finesse in there but a smooth listen, easily a 6/10. Would be even 7/10 for me without the distractions (TD clone intro and, indeed, the "canned" background vox bits near the end)

What do you DMTH lovers think of Too Tight? It´s the same song. Well not really, one of them has Charlie on it.

Try Always Suffering. I don't hear the resemblance with TT.

Such a great track. Hope to see it live soon.

I can see the similarity, but Driving.. has much more of that classic Stones roll that is missing from Too Tight (and a lot of recent, pre-HD Stones songs, all played to click tracks I suppose)

When I listen to this song it sounds like something I have been listening to for years.
