Strongest post-Stones Taylor material,
By A Customer
This review is from: Live: Too Hot for Snakes (Audio CD)
This is perhaps the strongest post-Stones appearance by this elusive guitar virtuoso. Mick Taylor's in fine form and leaves most of the vocal duties and rhythm guitar work to Carla Olson. Carla can play, herself, and the interaction between her and the former Rolling Stones lead guitarist (1969-1974) is nothing short of magical. A must-have for Taylor fans and the Rolling Stones collector. Check out "Sway" with Carla on lead vocals and Taylor's rendition of "Broken Hands" (which originally appeared on his 1979 solo release "Mick Taylor").

For Taylor Fans, This CD Rocks,
By A Customer
This review is from: Live: Too Hot for Snakes (Audio CD)
While this live recording does not capture virtuoso performance that Mick Taylor is capable of delivering, he still manages to display melodic lead playing like no one else. Credit goes to the band and Carla Olson, whose vocal style has rough edges that can be either annoying or funky, depending on your point of view, for putting a nice collection of rockers and blues derivatives, on which Mick's talens are showcased. A definite must have for Mick Taylor fans, I would also recommend this CD for those interested in British guitar players. For die hard Stones fans, Silver Train alone is worth the price of this CD.

A winning combination,
By tgfabthunderbird (York, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live: Too Hot for Snakes (Audio CD)
I was looking for something different when I came across this live recording. Olson's southern blues-rock style paired with Taylor was a good one on this live outing.Taylor locked in nicely behind Olson's band on a number of her songs, such as "Midnight Mission." The cover of "Silver Train" was also a great one. I had not heard of Olson until this, but I love her voice, then and now.

By Leonard Weiss (CO, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live: Too Hot for Snakes (Audio CD)
Mick Taylor is a very talented person with a lot of good stuff still in him. I hope he continues to put out more albums. maybe it`s just me, but i like his "live" stuff best. him & dylan sound GREAT together....i always wondered what happened to him after the Stones...now i know...
