Finally! Someone who appreciates Dickinson's contributions to that band. I nearly squealed like a little girl when I heard he was joining the Crowes, however, to my surprise, most Crowes fans don't like the guy. I even heard someone say something as blasphemous as "that guy plays too much slide, can't he play anything else?" Some people, I swear...

Sarcasm my dear Stargroover, sarcasm. I think all of those 70s Stones records are good by any standard, unless you want to unfairly compare them to the masterpieces released from 68-72. And unfortunately I think a lot of people did, but as time goes on those albums sound better and better. As I've stated before, Black and Blue was not an album I got into right away. It took years. It grows a

'Black and Blue'? That old piece of crap record? Let's see.. I like 'Hot Stuff' and 'Memory Motel.' I love 'Hand of Fate,' 'Hey Negrita,' 'Oh Cherry,' and 'Crazy Mama' is one of my all-time favorite Stones' tunes. Too bad that album is so bad.

Lets say those unfounded rumors are true, and the Rolling Stones do record new music, or at the very least re-work outtakes from the last 3 or 4 albums. Who would you like to do the producing? And would you be satisfied/excited to hear it was Don Was? My Pick: Ethan Johns, son of Glynn, and producer of the best releases by Ryan Adams and Kings of Leon. The guy has got an ear for dirt nasty ro

Funny. I guess I'm wrong, but I always kind of considered BLACK AND BLUE, Ronnie's album. Had no idea he only played on two tracks, and have certainly felt all these years that his contribution is noticeable throughout, maybe more so than any record the band has recorded since. I guess if you try hard enough you learn something new everyday. I must also say that over the years BLACK

I'm listening to my favorite "band you've never heard" the Dexateens. They are set to release a new album in May called "Single Wide," and have posted a song from the album on their MySpace page that has me excited about the new release. Any Stones fan or fan of open-g sloppy rock should hear this group. They are my favorite band right now!

If you are a big fan of the band then don't ruin it by going. Crosby and Nash are still capable of displaying those incredible harmonies, but Stills can't hang. Not only that he often gets in the way. My advice, if its Crosby&Nash or Crosby Stills Nash & Young, go. Otherwise I'd stay home and listen to the first 2 records, 4-way Street, Songs for Beginners, If I Could Only

The voice of God sounds like a bottle-neck slide and a Gibson-SG in the hands of Duane Allman. As good as that band is today with Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, I can't even imagine how great it must have been to witness those Fillmore East shows. Probably more than I could handle.

Quotebuffalo7478 Sharon Jones is the real deal. Maybe in her early 50's and not a physically attractive woman, you won't see her on MTV, but a great band and great voice for soul. Oh but how Ms. Jones' show oozes sex, and a must see for any fan of rootsy/bluesy/Stax-ish soul... They just don't do it like she does it anymore.

Otis Redding is my favorite singer (period). But I'd have to say that Donny Hathaway or Curtis Mayfield were the last great soul singers. That is of course, if you ignore Sharon Jones. Amy Winehouse ain't bad either.

I supplement my measly income with the even more measly income of a freelance writer. I spend about 4 hours a night writing after getting high.

By the way from4tillate, if you are who I think you are, then I have no business telling you anything about what's good and not good about music in Nashville - or anywhere for that matter.

I hate that he felt compelled to play an unworthy new song from a pretty disappointing album, but hey he has to sell records and I bet he did after that performance.
