Good but not his best - about half the tracks are better-than-average. If you like Tom Petty anyway you'll enjoy it: if you don't, this won't convert you. 3.5 stars or so. (I have Long after Dark, Damn the Torpedoes, Southern Accents, Full Moon Fever, Into The Great Wide Open + DVDs Live from the Fillmore & Soundstage to compare it with). Long After Dark was the first I b

Took me four different shops before I found the right cover - there's an interesting survey to be done by somebody with lots of time on their hands, counting up how many of which covers are still left over...

Don't forget fake-Elizabethan: Lady Jane and Ruby Tuesday (especially if you listen to the instrumental-only RT - it took a long time to acquire lyrics). And Parisian-cafe-chanson: Backstreet Girl.

I'm fairly new to this board, and one of its great pleasures is being able to use the Hot Stuff download time machine to visit concerts, rehearsals and sessions that have only been names and descriptions in books until now. Very many thanks to all who take the time and trouble to keep us "vultures" well fed.

“He has to rest and allow his brain to recover and that takes time. I’m sure that once that period is over, he will be back to his old self.” Asked when that might be, he said: “In about six months’ time.” No, not Keith.

At my age (younger than Ronnie, but not by much) I already know that it's easier to keep on going at work than to get started again if you once allow yourself to stop and relax, but whatever they do next year, what they deserve right after Honolulu is a REST. The autumn schedule makes me feel exhausted just looking at it (even before you take into account the un-cooperative weather they

An excellent compilation called The Rough Guide to South African Gospel - and the last but one track is definitely a close relative of George Harrison's My Sweet Lord - same 4-note "Hallelujah" phrase, same "really want to see you, but it takes so long..." lyrics.

When the band played at Twickenham the big Tesco store across the road had huge bins full of 40 Licks right where you couldn't miss them - but if they had any ABB's I didn't see them. I bet this isn't the only place where this is so - nobody's promoting ABB, and the band seem to be going along with the record shops' judgment. Pity.

with ssoul, I couldn't agree more! It's such FUN to hear them as they were at the beginning - "happy, hungry, learning..." and they sound as if they are enjoying the process, too. No, the albums aren't as good as the "golden era" masterpieces. There is stuff on there that they would bury deep, deep in a very dark vault these days - but there's such enthu

I remember the moving vans shifting Ron Wood's stuff out of Maids of Honour Row when I was first working on the Green in the early 90's (can't remember the year), so I guess that is when he moved to Kingston. The Wick has also belonged to the actor John Mills at different times (I think he owned it more than once). I also recall the little swarm of Press "reptiles"

Because of the high wall between the Wick garden and Nightingale Lane it's actually easier to see the cottage from the towpath on the other side of the river than it is from the road 20 feet away. (Mind you, you'd need a powerful telephoto lens to get a good picture of it from there). It's really private, but judging by the places it's visible from, the cottage must have

It's gentle acoustic folk-y stuff - no purely instrumental tracks (except for one with 2 banjos), just 12 songs either by Bert Jansch or "trad, arr. Jansch", sung mostly by the man himself and accompanied by his magnificent guitar work. Guest vocals by Beth Orton on 2 tracks. If you like Bert Jansch (and I do) then you won't be disappointed. For the record, Q gave it 3 star
