Wow! Cool-sounding stuff! Both Mick and Keith on fire - there is that roots feel in their hearts and bones like they had proved lately with BLUE & LONESOME and "Rolling Stone Blues". They are paying homage to the masters but sound original. This adds to the scale. But the way they recorded it resembles more that of "Watching The River Flow" - each of them doing their bit

QuoteDandelionPowderman Someone reported that they chose to start anew for this album, which I found really surprising. I'm taking that with a pinch of salt. Yeah, but still I find that - start anew - something not that uncommon for them..

Those kind of things also happen here in Finland.
