5.0 out of 5 stars In Blues We Trust, August 11, 2001
By A Customer
I dig the Stones as much as anyone (*Let It Bleed* is one of my favorite albums), but I think those of you who compared this album to the original Stones versions are missing the point. The caption on the cover says it clearly: "This Ain't No Tribute." What it is is something more complex, and much more interesting. It takes songs by the Stones--the crown princes of rock and roll--and gives them back to the tradition that inspired them in the first place. The Stones paid tribute to the blues through their songs, and they made something entirely new and beautiful out of the traditional blues. The artists in this compilation bring these songs back home to the blues tradition, and create something new and beautiful in the process. (You'll also hear the close kinship between blues and country, a kinship that is often overlooked in the artificial division between modern blues, country, and rock and roll.) It's an example of what's so wonderful about the musical process as a whole--the organic melding of traditions and innovations to create beauty in sonic form. This album is a lesson in music history, but it's also just some damn good music. Get it, listen, learn, and love!

5.0 out of 5 stars It only gets better, November 3, 2005
I've had this cd for about 7 years now and every now and then pull it out for a listen and each time I leave with a new song that I feel is the best and a need to search out a few cds from the artist who cover them . The last time was about a month ago and it hasn't been out of my car since. "You Can't Always Get What You Want"...brilliant. "Sway"...unforgettable. "Beast of Burdon"...outstanding. This last time has been "Ventilator Blues" by the late Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown.

I don't like to say that these guys did the Rolling Stones better than Mick and the gang, but on these songs...they did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bluesmen can outblues the Stones anyday, March 22, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have to admit that if it had not been for the Dartford renegades, I might not have started listening to the blues. These days it's pretty hard to listen to Mick mimic bluesmen. This cd has some great Stones numbers done well: Luther Allison, Taj Mahal, Gatemouth Brown, Junior Wells, and Johnny Copeland all outblues the Stones. Yea the Stones can still play some of their material, but just as the Ramones learned to give Street Fighting Man the energy that you never realized it lacked, these master bluesman hand you cover versions that sound fresh and natural.
