Friday night music - Stones, "Time Waits For No One" amazing guitar work

[old mark]

by Mick Taylor. One of my favorite tunes by anyone, from back when the Stones (with Taylor and Wyman) were at their best.
Really beautiful, floating guitar - I can't praise it enough.

Mick Taylor plays in bassist Bill Wyman's band, Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings from time to time, and on several of their CD's.

Have a great night.

1. I've always considered that to be one of the best guitar soloes,

ever. Along with the guitar solo in "Aqualung."

2. Yeah. They had a great sound before Taylor left.

I like a lot of what they did latter, but it was more produced and not as interesting. Jagger claimed he was bored of rock and roll and wanted to experiment, and a lot of what they did was interesting, but not as listenable long-term, if that makes sense.

"Exile on Main Street" and "It's Only Rock and Roll" were really different albums than what they did afterward. I know it's cliche to say Exile was a brilliant album, but as has been said, often cliches are cliches because they are true.

3. Read Mick Taylor's Wiki article - he had a lot of gripes with the Stones

not giving him credit for writing songs, and especially with Keith who regarded Taylor as a better technical player, which Richards could not abide. Taylor is a great musician, and plays on many albums with a very diverse group or other artists.

Personally, I think the new mix re-release of Exile On Main Street might be the best rock n roll album ever made by anybody...the sound and inventiveness of that music is amazing, some of it very jazzy, some straight blues.

4. Exile is also a great country album

Exile is in my top 2 of albums along with Radioheads' "OK Computer"

5. It is a great mix of styles - I called it a rock album because I don't know what else

to call it, but there are so many great tunes on it it is amazing.

6. Underpants, here's a Stones cover of a Hank Snow song they were doing in 1964...

"I'm Movin' On"...

They did a very hot version on Get Yer Ya Ya's Out, but this is around 5 years earlier, and also done live for a TV show in England...I was a junior in Catholic high school then, and playing in bar bands on the weekends...and a big big fan.
