Great track on Fogerty's new album, very Stones-y, I think. (AC/DC fans will also like it.) It has a crunchy guitar riff and a passionate vocal from Fogerty. Drew

So I was walking around the Red Light district in Amsterdam a few nights ago, blissfully stoned and admiring the scenery (no, I did not make any purchases!!!) It was my first time in the Red Light district, and I was just about to leave when I heard the unmistakable sound of Bobby Keys lending his indelible touch to a live YCAGWYW. It was coming from a pub called the 'The Pint' so I

And while we're at it, can we petition for a remaster of everything from Sticky Fingers onward? It irks me that the Black Crowes (remastered in 2002) sound way better on my car stereo than the Stones (remastered in 1994). Drew

Artist Mick Jagger Album The Very Best of Mick Jagger Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine There is no rock star greater than Mick Jagger. There are plenty other as great, but nobody eclipses Mick in terms of art and influence, as he virtually created the modern-day rock & roll rebel.
