Ladies and gentlemen- this is The Rolling Stones! The album grows on me with each listen. Too to bottom it’s solid! And if you research the album and who is playing on which song- you’ll love it even more! McCartney, Elton, Gaga, Stevie Wonder - they even managed to get Bill Wyman back for a song or two along with Charlie Watts pounding the skins on a couple songs recorded before his death. This album is SOLID work from the boys. Whatever they’re drinkin at this age, I want some!
Be sure to watch Jagger get down with Gaga on the live recording of “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” (available all over YouTube). Listen to Elton John, Ronnie Woods & Keith rip thru a smokin hot jam inside of “Live by the Sword”. Listen to McCartney jam with Ronnie & Keith inside the Punky “Bite My Head Off”. (McCartney is playing a special bass guitar that blew them all away according to the story. One of my personal favorites right now is “Depending on You”. To me it has the vibe & feel of older classic Stones- a little bit “ruby Tuesday” a little bit “rainbow” with some “wild horses” and “Angie” mixed in -truly a retro sound that anybody that’s listen to the stones for years will be able to hear!
