Title: Dated, but excellent
Product review: A friend of mine from back home sent me this album for the purpose of showcasing what he believes is musical brilliance, and generally an underrated artist.Upon leaving the Stones (for a myriad of reasons, none of which are particularly important), it wouldn't have taken a genius to figure out that Mick had some blues of his own, some great songs of his own to simply kick out (as well as kick back). So he played the crap out of it, and what we're left with is a great Stones album without the Stones."Leather Jacket", "Baby, I Want You", and "Broken Hands" are killer tunes just WAITING to be given the Stones treatment, and if Mick's musicianship lacks a peer, his lyrics and vocal delivery are found wanting. He's a capable enough singer, but the abundance of instrumentals backs me up on this fact.The production of the album dates it a little, but since the songs are so good, you can't let that ruin your appreciation of it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
