QuoteJordyLicks96 Anybody see Mick Jagger's Instagram story? He's playing (miming?) harmonica for the Lee Oskar harmonica collaboration. The song is almost certainly a new Stones track. Guitars and beat sound very similar to Living In A Ghost Town. Probably recorded around the same time. Maybe he is jamming out on an early extended studio run-through of LIAGT? However, I still need to

QuoteDoxa If the starting point is STEEL WHEELS sessions, I don't think there is a danger of the album being incohesive in terms of music coming from different eras. Basically the band hasn't change one bit from those sessions. For example, they could easily use backing tracks from there, do whatever finishing touches, and that will be alright. The result would sound as current or old-f

Quoteloog droog If I'm not mistaken, in 1974 Fogerty signed over his Creedence publishing to Zaentz as part of a deal so that he could be released from his contract with Fantasy Records. That was a not a wise move. In hindsight it's easy to say that, but as I see it, Fogerty was trying to correct a mistake he made much earlier - the CCR recording contract with Fantasy that obviousl

"Love Me Do" was a tentative, medium-paced, clean, family-friendly melodic pop song - as if they've intended to not shock the elders all too much - in comparison "Come On" has decidedly more edge and dirt, and despite being a cover, already hints at the more aggressive sound that was to follow, a difference that's even more evident when one compares the Stones'
