I love this song. Womack's vocals are of course stellar in his original version, but overall I'd say Wood's rendition is better. We get great vocals by Wood and Womack, and the band's arrangement is IMO much tighter. Ron Wood is a funky guy. On 'Now Look' especiaLLY.

I’m all my years of observing and contributing on our great forum, you’re the only person who knocks Daryl. I ‘get’ that he’s not Bill Wyman, but he really isn’t that bad, you know? He’s been hired fir every tour since Voodoo

I seem to think 'One Hit' was only played up to '89. It's a song that should have worked live. Maybe it's just one of those great cuts (like 'Rocks Off') that doesn't come off live. Others like 'Anybody seen my Baby' are understandable not working live. I watched the Double Door again, and that song weak. IMO the good songs on DW are great (

I was driving in my truck at 5 a.m., and was listening to a sports radio station They had a retired football player named George Rogers (I think) on the phone, and he talked to them for a long time. He has won Heisman Trophy, all kinds of accolades etc, and had a street named after him. What was so inspiring about the conversation was how gracious he was, and basically content; and very aware of

QuoteKRiffhard Terrific... It's a great version musically. I always like when Keith talks about Jagger's harp playing being 'the pure unadulterated Mick Jagger". he is such a fantastic harmonica player. But visually...I love when Jagger does his thing. But by '89 you can see that he has had trainers, and has made it a workout. I love Jagger's moves in '72 be

Quoteroryfaninva "Gimme Some Neck" was a major college staple. Fun record, production a little dated. Saw the Barbarians at The Cap Centre in Largo Maryland (no special guests) As far as Woody singing live, a little goes a long way. Pretty painful on some tunes. Mac, om the other hand, sounded good- up till then I didnt know he could sing. I think the word 'dated' is being

There are so many great versions. When they lock it in, there is no one on the planet who can do what they do. This thread made me go check out many versions, and I noticed that this is a cut that really shines in the Wood era. It's two guitars , all double stops, and mid-range grunge. In '69 Taylor was still playing mainly rhythm, and on the Altamont version e.g. one can hear that Ta

I love Ronnie's solo albums. Bobby Womack was a great partner for Ron on 'Now Look', maybe a bit underrated. But IMO his most soulful album, and really well played tracks. I love doing detailed reviews of his albums. Anyone remember the release of 'I Feel Like Playing"? It came out of nowhere. No one had any idea.

Quote24FPS Not really different from the original. Still, a great track. When Mick's harp comes in it harkens back to Brian on 'Honest I Do' on the first album. (Which, despite the band's reverence for Jimmy Reed, is the only song of his I think they recorded until Blue and Lonesome.) Honestly it's not what jumps to mind when I think of my favorite tracks on the disc, but

I dont think LZ would have fallen apart. Yes, they put out a mediocre album with 'Presence'; but that is probably because Plant was not really present. 'In through the out door' IMO was a major shift, and could have opened brand new doors. And Punk would have given them a wake up call too. Who knows? I just recently watched JCM's excellent mini movie on ITTOD. Much li

Ringo IMO is one of the best drummers to ever come around. The Beatles wrote the most sophisticated pop songs. The drummer had to be just right.

I don't think they're going to take on any major treks anymore. Like So America, which has some major Stones fans. For guys in their late 70's it may just be too much of a good thing. Too far. Stones are where they are also because they are pragmatists. At this stage IMO it is the iron drive of Jagger alone that is keeping them going on tour. I think on their own Keith and Ronnie

I don't really hear anything wrong there. Might be some kind of latency bet
