Editorial Reviews

Australian two CD set compiles both volumes of this popular series. Volume One is the compilation that started the Bossa Nova covers boom! Bossa N' Stones is an Electronic-tinged Bossa Nova treatment of Rolling Stones classics. They have assembled musicians and producers of different latitudes, who accepted the challenge of mixing the music of the legendary Rolling Stones, with the spirit of the Bossa Nova and contemporary electronics. Selections include classics such as 'Start Me Up', 'Satisfaction', 'Let's Spend The Night Together', 'Brown Sugar', a brilliant 'Sympathy For The Devil' and 'Angie'. After the success of the first volume (which has already gone platinum), Volume Two presents early hits like 'I'm Free', 'As Tears Go By' and 'Paint It, Black', as well as the major '70s numbers like 'Tumbling Dice', 'It's Only Rock N' Roll' and 'Emotional Rescue'. The album reaches forward into the '80s with 'Mixed Emotions', one of the highlights of the disc

I found out about this on Pandora, and I had to have it. I played it in a car full of friends, and all of them want it, too. Makes me want to fly to South America to listen to Bossa n'Stones live.

It's just a really cool album of great covers of great songs, that breathe fresh life into lyrics you know by heart. Like discovering something brand new with an old friend.

Great renditions of Stones tunes in Bossa Nova style. These songs really come off well in this style since it is so different from the original style. This is in contrast to the Bossa Marley songs which are not so diff from the original downbeat reggae style, so I suggest avoiding the Marley collection. Just stick with the Stones!

First, this is excellent chill music. Different artists, ALL female vocalists, sing their renditions of the best Stones tunes. Great listening for a romantic evening or entertaining for dinner with friends. It's 2 CD's, with a total run time of 1h33m. The female singers here are soft-voiced, breathy crooners who envelope you in a mellow groove. Can be listened to loud or in the background. Just know this isn't a loud, guitarsy-type set. Just lush, easy listening, mental mellow goo that relaxes and pleases. Buy it, you silly goose!
