QuoteKeithNacho Steel wheels, Kris Kimsey was involved That might explain why Mick's voice doesn’t irritate on SW, perhaps Chris knew how to get the best out of Mick vocally, it's so much more enjoyable when Mick sings with the band meshed within the music rather than on top of the music / over it. It's hard to pinpoint for me personally, when you think of Tattoo You on a t

Without Mick's vocals, there's nothing distinctively Stones about it, and I'd have welcomed experimenting with more modern music recording to see if it would make any better of an album. I totally

QuoteBig Al QuoteRockingLonestar An album recorded in 2023 sounds like it was recorded in 2023 and not in the 60-ies or 70-ies. OMG, how could that happen? Well, quite. However, it's the 'kind' of modern production that Hackney Diamonds has received. If recorded by Don Was, it may have sounded more like A Bigger Bang; which, for me, would be preferable.

Quoteroby Yes, out of the mix for example in Paris at the SDF in 1998. He's had his ups and (too often) downs, Ronnie is not a great solo player, and as such has never equalled Mick Taylor on stage or on record, but when he's focused (as he has been for the last fifteen years) it's not bad. He's been a great support to Keith for a few years now. Mate I'll go with that
