this album tbqf has the best aspects of the chicago blues sound, it's a lot better than i thought it would be.

Yeah it's pretty raw
Would 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 don't care much for Chicago blues.

There's some shit you just don't say in public.

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.

? You don't like it that they are enthusiastic?

There were some tracks I wanted them to cover that weren't on Spotify, but...

No, I mean that I prefer it when the Stones sound enthusiastic, which I appreciate must be hard to do if you're on your 1,534th album... if they sound excited, the track sounds exciting. If they sound like they're going through the motions, you can pick up on it right away. I guess that's why it used to take 'em so long to make records at one point... trying to get that great take where the band is firing.

I'm going to that Exhibitionism thing after Christmas. Anyone seen it?

Nah, but I did listen to Tattoo You last night and 'Slave' has developed into one of my favourite Stones grooves.

i gave up on this album after listening one minute to the first song. there is about as much blues feeling in this as in a techno track.

it's the distortion, stupid! (alex in mainhattan), Wednesday, 21 December 2016 15:15 (seven years ago) link

xxxpost - turrican that makes sense misinterpreted your post

but yeah this is the first they sound like an actual band in forever
