Sway - Thanks so much for posting. There are some amazing insights here. "Keith was really not sure about Woody, because he felt that Woody played too much like him, and that it wouldn't sound good. But Mick and I wanted Woody. The other guys were rather undecided." It is perhaps the first time I have seen someone state that Woody was Jagger (and Stu's) choice and that

Quotepmk251 Generally speaking and as far as I can tell, Keith is the more interesting songwriter. His songs have a subject. He often works around a central theme or metaphor. He likes to play with words. He shows a heart. He shows vulnerability. His songs can touch me. I do not think he throws around words and hopes they stick. Very often his two only songs are the only ones in the show

American cheese and Bologna -- what baloney. Maybe Dave Stewart will see another shining light on the top of a hill and in a flash, a brilliant idea will emerge. Stewart will attempt to create a new kind of restaurant, unlike anything done before where one could experiment and blend various cuisines from cultures across the globe - Jamaican, Indian, English, soul food.... and he will call on

Good points Doxa. I have now listened to it five or six times and sadly, my conclusions are that this album has few to no merits whatsoever. There is absolutely nothing new or interesting here. Jagger’s vocals are fine with me but his musical presence is everywhere and often detracts from the rather competent performances of the others. Jagger also seems to be the main composer. Most of the

if "Wandering Spirit" was a "Rolling stones" Album...... there would be quite a few folks here acknowledging it to be one of the top five Stones releases.

QuoteBliss A funny and witty review. But a defense of Mick is not needed. As far as I can recall - and it's a long way - Mick has never sought to ingratiate himself or even explain himself to the public. You can take him as you find him, or take him or leave him, as you choose. A much better accolade to Mick is Ron Rosenberg's paean to his songwriting skills. I posted it once here, b

The longer version (~9 minute) of Everything's Turning To Gold might be a good addition. Would be nice to hear both the shorter and the longer versions more evenly balanced throughout the song. The versions available on CD all have some pretty bad sound engineering with some random fade outs in the middle of the song. Somewhat ruins what could have been a classic
