There is simply a unique and quite recognizable power in a Jagger-Richards song that can't be denied. This compilation is a tribute to this pair's songwriting genius, fourteen songs appear on this album, with some of the most talented artists perforing their work.

A few stand outs - "NO EXPECTATIONS" (Johnny Cash) with his "Folsom Prison Blues" tempo, is really different and entertaining - "TUMBLING DICE" (Linda Ronstadt) does real well with her distinctive style - "BROWN SUGAR" (Little Richard) high-voltage approach is simply electrifying.

This is not just a toe-tapping CD, but pure energy one must experience if you're a Rolling Stone fan. Highly recommend this to all ages, a major surprise, a must buy for the young and old music fan!

Total Time: 57:27 on 14 Tracks/ Hip-O Records - HIPD 40078 (1998)

Quite disappointed with this album. Although the artists are all top notch, the renditions are poor at best. Aretha's should have been a gospel flavor, not the disco beat used. By listend to many of the tracks, I would guess that they were recorded in the late seventies.

Cuando observas el tracklisting del disco, crees que el disco es una maravilla, pero escuharlo es una cosa diferente. La mayoria de las versiones contienen el sello original de los artistas que la interpretan. Lo mejor del disco: "19th nervous brakdown" (vale el disco), la versión de "Tumbling Dice" de Linda Ronstand, "Gimme Shelter" y "Jumping Jack Flash" (magistral), del resto nada que resaltar. Éste disco no es para ti si no eres un verdadero fanático de los Stones
