4.0 out of 5 stars If It Looks Like a Duck and Quacks Like a Duck...., January 3, 2002

When I picked this CD up as a cutout for 99 cents, I didn't really know anything about the band but I was intrigued by their take-off on the Rolling Stones' Aftermath cover art. As it turns out the four multi-instrumentalists who make up the Chesterfield Kings wear their Stones' influence proudly on their sleeves. Additional band photos mimic the Stones' Through the Past Darkly. They include two Strong Stones' covers: "Street Fighting Man" and the obscure "Can't Believe It." Even the originals pay tribute to the Stones' repertoire. "Drunkhouse," "Long Ago, Far Away" and "I'm So Confused, Baby" borrow from "Country Honk," "Street Fighting Man" and "In Another Land" respectively. And lead singer Greg Prevost has Jagger's swaggering vocals down cold. And for good measure, ex-Stone Mick Taylor guests on "I'm Not Talking." [Ex-Savoy Brown frontman Kim Simmonds also takes a turn on "It's Getting Harder All the Time."] But don't think of this as a mere tribute album, it's not. These guys freely acknowledge their influences, but they also make some kick-ass rock 'n' roll. RECOMMENDED

4.0 out of 5 stars What if the Stones were a new band in the 90's?, February 15, 2001

This review is from: Lets Go Get Stoned (Audio CD)

The Chesterfield Kings are a great cover band. When they choose to replicate a band's material, not only do the actual covers sound like the original band, but (and this is the important part)the new songs sound like "lost" songs by that band. The Black Crowes only WISHED they sounded this much like the late 60's version of the Stones. However, I don't want this to sound like it's all covers. Only two of the songs are Stones' covers (there are a couple other covers as well). Buy this CD for the originals, especially if you keep complaining that they (including the Stones!!) don't make them like they used to. Listen to the sample from Drunkhouse and tell me that you don't want to own this CD immediately. I've personally bought 5 copies over the years to give to friends, and everybody has LOVED it.

Who does a better Stones' than the Stones? Well, they are one of the best garage rock revival bands since the Crawdaddys, The Tell Tale Hearts and other garage rock revivalists. Somebody's gotta carry the Stones torch and it ain't gonna be the Stones, they're gettin' way too old to do anything. Chesterfield Kings! Yes, they rule!
