3.0 out of 5 stars
eh, from nice work to so what,
By Marcus Aurelius (PA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paint It Blue: A Bluegrass Tribute to the Rolling Stones (Audio CD)
The band that produced this is made up of some fine bluegrass musicians, but the cd suffers from the fact that they just did not stray far enough away from the originals. When they do get into their groove, the cd soars. When they're just being lazy, it sounds pretty bland. It's a really tough job, and I don't fault them for trying, but I do wish they had gone beyond the Stones own play lists and arrangements.
Stones' covers are best when the artist says, "I can finally get this song right." Think of Little Richard's wonderfully campy version of "Brown Sugar" or the Ramones giving real energy to "Street Fighting Man." Billy Bragg got "She Smiled Sweetly" just right, and Taj Mahal showed what "Honky Tonk Woman" is a great blues. Ultimately, this cd is a floater. |
