I wasn't too keen on Mess It Up for awhile but now - like Rain Fall Down - it's popped. It's not about Charlie. Of course, Live By The Sword and Bill's excellent playing follows. Driving Me Too Hard follows that. Andrew Watt sings backing harmony and it fits. "Driving" outro is Winos! Which leads to... Tell Me Straight, holy crap. The Rolling Winos:

I thought Driving Me Too Hard would be a logical 4th single but I'm starting to think Get Close would be just as good, if not, a better choice - it offers a little bit more.

Quotebv The Rolling Stones are rehearsing at the NRG stadium in Houston Texas this week. Yesterday I could hear they did "Sad Sad Sad", among others, but I left. The NRG is a closed dome. Traffic noise in the area is just crazy, roads all over. Also, staff at the NRG ask me all the time why I am on a public sidewalk. I will not ruin the great experiences from LA, where studio staff were

Quotedoitywoik If I remember this correctly (please correct me if I'm wrong), the TY version of Slave was built from two takes of the song, originally recorded in the Black and Blue sessions. It's one take, from early 1975, and not worked on until fall of 1980 and then again in the spring of 1981.

Mixed Emotions gave the signal for The Return Of The Rolling Stones - it was extremely vibrant. It had a bit of snarl in it. It mattered (and! It wasn't a ridiculous "Christmas" release, whenever the hell that is determined). Angry did the same thing only more so - it's more in line with The Rolling Stones than Mixed Emotions was (is); both have a great beat, a fantastic
