3.0 out of 5 stars good idea, but..., May 23, 2005

Good idea, but probably editor's wish did not come true, because in this record you can find both strong and weak points. Some of the tracks, for example, are really outstanding. "All down the line" is a powerful rock'n'roll, with a brilliant rythm guitar work; Jeff Lang's "Sweet Virginia" is probably the highlight of this recording, with an impressive sample of slide and fingerstyle acoustic guitar, which brings back Delta's echoes (a little masterpiece); a nice "Tumbling Dice", with southern rock calls and an incisive version of "Rocks Off", with a pure r'n'r solo in the final, complete the mentions. As for the rest, to be honest, the CD is quite modest and my three stars mark is the result of a balance.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great tribute to the Stones, September 18, 2003

Exile on Main St. is my favorite Stones album of all time and when I found out there was a blues tribute to it, I seached for this album till I found it. The Stones have never strayed very far from their blues roots, and on this album we have some of the best in blues music today adding their spin to some classic songs. I am a fan of Tommy Castro and I just love playing his cover of RIP THIS JOINT as loud as I can. He really kicks ass on this cover. Jeff Lang does a truly amazing version of SWEET VIRGINIA, it is another highlight of this disc. Christine Ohlman version of ALL DOWN THE LINE would make Mick and Keith proud. I could go on and on with how I think the musicians did a great album here. How could you go wrong with Double Touble being the backing band for all the tracks. One voice that really sounds good is Andrea Re doing a version of TUMBLING DICE. I dont to much about her, but I am looking forward to finding out more.If you are looking for goods songs sung be great voices this is an album to add to your collection. It is some of the best blues being played today
