What the @#$%&?! Well this is a nice surprise! Just a cool, laid-back song that feels like a natural progression from the Blue & Lonesome sessions. I love how the harp solo leads into the spooky little breakdown. Great timing to do this right after their standout One World performance, and the video is a deft reminder that the Stones are still capable of capturing little moments in ti

QuoteRocky Dijon I believe "Ever Changing World" was one of the first tracks Don Was mentioned in an L.A. Times interview around July 1997. It was actually one of the first tracks I remember reading about (via Rolling Stone magazine). I guess it's fortunate the title never struck me as something I needed to hear ASAP.

My first impression is that England Lost is the more memorable of the two. It's got a genuinely cool vibe and does a better job of injecting a little social commentary. Gotta Get A Grip is an okay funk tune but I'd put it in the category of Mick's past songs that were built around a groove that doesn't really go anywhere.

Hits Daily Double has it at #4 on the Sales Plus Streaming chart and #2 on the Album Sales chart. What's impressive is that this was accomplished without a supertour or the kind of massive marketing push that accompanied albums like Voodoo Lounge, Forty Licks, and A Bigger Bang.

QuoteKRiffhard Mick told that he wants an 'eclectic' album. He is totally anti-nostalgia and he loves modern sound. I don't think his 40 demos are 'honest and raw' as B&L. We can only hope that B&L changes his mind! Mick loves to be relevant though, which is not the same as wanting to be tied to any specific flavor of the month. If B&L had simply sold w

Quotemailexile67 sure...But the "concept" is the same! A better comparison would be Johnny Cash's American Recordings series, as Blue And Lonesome is very true to the essence of the Stones and has garnered critical acclaim.

QuoteLorenz No please, no more cover albums. 1 was cool, more would be lame and cement their reputation as not having any creative force left. Yes, I suspect Mick will be more motivated now to deliver an album of new material and will want to avoid becoming stuck in a rut of making cover albums. I always had the impression that a blues album was his way of testing the waters. Some fans want

If they don't complete an album of new originals, I could easily see a sequel to Blue and Lonesome given the welcome reception and success of this one.

My hope was that a blues album would do for the Stones what American Recordings and Great American Songbook did for Johnny Cash and Rod Stewart, respectively. All of them are the kind of simple, easy=to-sell concept albums that tend to do well for classic artists. (RCA is currently enjoying a similar kind of success with the Elvis and Royal Philharmonic series.) It'll be interesting to
