This is, I suppose, good, and Jagger's in good form as vocalist and harmonica player, but I don't care much for Chicago blues.

The Stones should have been making records raw again like this one instead of screwing around with loops and all sorts of other BS. The sound on these tracks is great.

"Old blues not a very high sonic bar to hurdle"
so not true if you're talking about the stuff they are covering on this album! the original stuff sounds awesome.

can't believe they didn't record this at jack white's house direct-to-shellac and then make a 4 hour making of the album documentary for netflix. seems like the 2016 way to go.

i'd like to see them go back to their 90's roots. they were masters of the authentic 10 minute remix.

Just wanted to point out how perverse the Stones=authenticity argument is. Jagger basically invented tongue-in-cheek pop.

What do you mean? Mick Jagger learned the harmonica from a blind drifter who did some work on his daddy's worm farm

keith's book was very straightforward about their origins. it was all right there. the snobby brit blues purists were definitely mentioned.

I'm with Alfred. My tolerance for Chicago Blues is very low. That Delta shit, though? I can listen to that forever.

he and Mick hated Brian Jones for being such a purist!
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 5 December 2016 03:59 (seven years ago) link
Mick is my favorite thing about this record. He revels in the material. The band & guests are solid but nothing remarkable.
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Monday, 5 December 2016 04:01 (seven years ago) link
they should have made this album with metallica. unplugged. at jack white's house.

drum sound on this is so wack:

for awhile thought this might be mono but it's not, though it's mixed pretty down the middle
would be kind of full circle if this were their last album, all the way back to doing blues covers

me too. I love the Muddy/Howlin Wolf/Bo Diddley's Chess stuff (ok and the Staples too, but they're kinda different/gospel) but that's about it.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 5 December 2016 16:39 (seven years ago) link
they would never do it in a million years but i think it would be cool if they got good current songwriters to write the best "stones" songs that they could and have them record those. not jack white though.
― scott seward, Monday, 5 December 2016 16:41 (seven years ago) link
alejandro escovido could do a good job he could prolly use the dough

seems like something Andy Partridge would be up for (although not ideally suited for either)
― Οὖτις, Monday, 5 December 2016 16:44 (seven years ago) link
challenge people to write hit stones songs. but no guest appearances. and that goes double for jack white.
― scott seward, Monday, 5 December 2016 16:45 (seven years ago) link
for a sec I thought you were suggesting Andy Partridge produce the Stones.

would love to hear a courtney barnett song for keith to sing. it would have to be less wordy than her own songs though...he might get confused.
― scott seward, Monday, 5 December 2016 16:46 (seven years ago) link
Spoon has written a few.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 5 December 2016 16:48 (seven years ago) link
yeah Partridge could obviously nail the psych-period stuff (something I'm sure Keith and Mick are super-eager to revisit lol)

Have you tried the Otis Rush Cobra label stuff? Dude was a beast on the guitar. Also, have you checked out the Junior Wells/Buddy Guy records (Hoodoo Man Blues etc.)? Much to dig there as well.

Yeah it's pretty rawWould be cool if this was a jumping off point to a cool album of originals like Dylan's folk cover albums did but doubt it

I haven't heard this record yet but at this stage I'm more bothered by how enthusiastic they sound on record rather than how "authentic" these covers are meant to be.
