Free Music Review: Rolling Stones Virtuoso Shines on this Solo Disc
Hit: 5 Stars
Mick Taylor gave so much to the Rolling Stones when he was with them. Some of their most beautiful, layered music happened when he was in the band, including perhaps their greatest guitar solo track, "Time Waits for No One" on 'It's Only Rock and Roll'. Though I love all the Stones' stuff, there is something extra in the Mick Taylor years. Whereas after he left, the Stones developed a lean sound, with Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood practicing the ancient art of weaving, Mick Taylor did his own bluesy riffs on top of Richards. At times, it borders on symphonic.
On this solo album, Taylor has put together a solid cadre of rock and blues musicians and produced a beautiful work that can be listened to over and over. I have only had it a few days and have already listened to it three times. There really is not a weak track on the album, which leans towards a rock/blues sound that highlights Mick's blues guitar skills. It proves to anyone who has listend to the Stones from the Taylor years that Taylor wrote a few songs that ended up being credited to the Glimmer Twins instead. Eight of the ten songs are written by Taylor himself, demonstrating his wide-ranging abilities in the songwriter department. Too bad he never got the credit (or royalties) he deserved from his contributions in the Stones.
It's the kind of album you can listen to any time. And I disagree with some reviewers about Taylor's voice. It's not great, but it's got that smoky, rough sound that works with the blues, comparable to Clapton's. It works with the material.
Recommended very highly. Kind of hard to find, but worth the search.
Five Stars.
