| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | This 18-track compilation of previously released versions of Rolling Stones' nuggets is a little longer than earlier attempts at the same concept such as 1998's Cover You: A Tribute to the Rolling Stones (with which it shares four tunes) and 2005's skimpy 11-cut Wild Horses: A Rock and Roll Tribute to the Rolling Stones (only one duplicate from that), but it's not markedly better. Due to the lack of liner notes, there's a frustrating absence of noting what albums these songs were grabbed from, let alone who played on them, and given the embarrassingly shoddy cover art, this looks like a quicky project seemingly pressed up to capitalize on the Stones' 2006 A Bigger Bang tour. It is also, perhaps not surprisingly, heavy on material from the EMI/Virgin vaults, which accounts for 11 of its selections. That's not to say it's without merit; the compiler unearths a few cool, way under the radar Stones covers from Miranda Lee Richards (no relation to Keith) doing a folk-rock "Dandelion," former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke who checks in with sturdy if unsurprising "Dead Flowers" (featuring Axl Rose on backing vocals) from a 1994 solo album, and Jason & the Scorchers' scorching "19th Nervous Breakdown." This catalog picking also results in the album's worst choices, including a completely lunkheaded metal-ish version of "Bitch" from a band called Exodus, the Flying Pickets' misguided a cappella "Get Off My Cloud," the Quireboys' unnecessary "Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)," and Tony Merrick's forgotten-for-good-reason 1964 attempt at "Lady Jane." Bowie's "Let's Spend the Night Together" drags the song into drugged-out glam but soul acts such as Ike & Tina Turner and Otis Redding fare better with their selections. Not entirely worthless for those few music fans without a computer, in this digital age when almost anything is available to be downloaded; it is at best superfluous, since anyone can make their own collection of similar material, which would likely be better sequenced and imagined than this one. ~ Hal Horowitz |
