5.0 out of 5 stars wingless angels fly high, January 23, 2004

the wingless angels project is one of the most intersting things Keith Richards has done without the Stones-- the other things include jamming with Aretha Franklin, shooting a documentary on Chuck Berry, doing 2 solo albumswith the Expensive Winos (plus one live record).
Keith has been involved in the project in many ways. The songs were recorded at Keith's house in Jamaica, Keith produced the record, Keith found a name for the band (Wingless Angels because they do not fly, but they sing like Angels), Keith did the illustration for the record and Keith played in the record.
After the songs were recorded in Jamaica - where only the voices and the drums were recorded - Keith added very beautiful bass lines that make the bass sound like an organ, added nice guitar lines and in a couple of songs played some piano chords. When he brought the record to the Wingless Angels, they thought he had made some magic. Which is true.
The record is really magic. It's very intense, it's hypnotic. The drums beat slow like a slow beating heart and the music really gets under your skin.
There are 16 songs and I think it's impossible to say which one is better as they are all great. It's a record that really gets under your skin

Thanks to Keith Richards for sharing the beauty of this deeply moving music. The drumming/singing/chanting on this cd is wonderful. It's a great Sunday morning cd...use it whenever you want to relax!

5.0 out of 5 stars The purest of reggae, October 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Wingless Angels (Audio CD)

A labour of love courtesy Keith Richards, who has known these musicians for twenty-five years. Highly spiritual and hypnotic singing/drumming/chanting, with Keith providing his typical taste and understatement in support.
