Free Music Review: Brilliant Mick Taylor - Carla Olson Collaboration
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an excellent album that is well worth the attention of anyone who likes those classic Rolling Stones albums from the 1969 - 1974 period which featured Mick Taylor on lead guitar.
The first CD of this 2 CD album is a live concert at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood in 1990, which was previously released as a single CD but which has long since been deleted from the catalogue. It's an excellent live performance, featuring blues standards like "Who Put The Sting On The Honey Bee", covers of Rolling Stones tracks from the period when Taylor played lead guitar for the Stones and which were well known for Mick Taylor solos ("You Got To Move" and "Sway" from Sticky Fingers, "Silver Train" from Goat's Head Soup), some Carla Olsen original compositions and a track from one of Mick Taylor's solo albums (Broken Hands). All great material that is well worth the price of the CD.
The second CD is a collection of tracks culled taken from various Carla Olson solo albums on which Mick Taylor played as a session musician. These include Carla Olson compositions as well as a cover of "Winter", a classic Stones track from the Goat's Head Soup album on which Mick Taylor played lead guitar for the Stones.
If you're not familiar with Carla Olson, this CD is a great introduction to her work. Olson is not a well known name but, in a perfect world, her vocal talent and guitar prowess would have earned her far more recognition than she seems to have achieved. She's definitely a musician who is worth checking out if you're not familiar with her work.
Former Rolling Stones and John Mayall's Bluesbreaker guitarist Mick Taylor is a fabulous guitar player and can certainly hold his own as a vocalist. This is a guy who should have had an extremely successful solo career. But since he left the Rolling Stones in 1974 Taylor's musical career has basically gone nowhere.
By most accounts, Taylor himself is largely responsible for his own lack of success but that still doesn't change the fact that he is an extremely talented musician who can put out some great material if, or when, he decides to do so. And his playing on this CD qualifies as great material.
This is an excellent album that is worth the attention of blues and blues-rock fans everywhere. If you like those classic 1969-1974 Rolling Stones albums which featured Mick Taylor on lead guitar (Let It Bleed, Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street, Goat's Head Soup,It's Only Rock and Roll), you'll like this album.
