question:
A Memory . In the early 1970's Rolling Stone magazine did a piece on Roy Buchanan, the late, and great, guitarist. Roy once turned down an offer to play with the Stones. Ry Cooder was nearby, overheard the interview, and began a rant about the Stones and Mick Jagger in particular. Ry was quoted saying, as I recall, that, though Keith didn't attend the "Jamming With Edward" session, the tape was rolling. (If memory serves, Ry said that Keith left the session, supposedly, according to Ry, in order NOT to appear to be riff hunting.) Ry said the Stones "stole" his sound and riffs. He said "Honky Tonk Woman" was an example of this "ripoff." In my opinion the signature guitar riff of this tune is definitely Ry's style. Ry also was disdainful of Mick's so called "devil" persona. He thought it absurd that a twerp (my word but I think I'm accurately depicting Ry's attitude towards Mick) like Mick could be considered "satanic." Later, when Ry's disgust became evident to Mick and he prepared to fly back to the states, Ry said Mick asked him what was wrong and did he want more money. I think Ry wanted less BS from Mick and company.
answer:
NEG

question:
Stardust Was Good, but not THAT Good . Bill Charlap is undoubtedly one of the most talented, lyrcially-blessed jazz pianiasts around today. He has a deft touch and a senisbility that far exceeds his age and life experiences. That told, I find it very hard to give his latest effort, Stardust, more than two stars. With very few exceptions, I found this CD to be fairly self-indulgent and Charlap rather morose in his intrepretations. It wasn't nearly a refeshing to the ear as Written in the Stars. I would recommend this for a Charlap devotee but no one else. He has made better albums
answer:
NEG

question:
Really dissapointing . His previous album "You've come along way baby" was so good and original but now it seems like he's spending more time on his music videos then on the music, many songs on this Cd are also based on samples from older songs like "Star 69" and "Weapon Of Choice" and "Sunset" some say he's matured as a artist but when something worked pretty good why don't continue in that way instead of making the oddest songs he could think of. Norman Cook is a dance artist and there's no way he should try to do something he isn't used to. Bootsy Collins "Weapons of choise" and Macy Gray "Love life" is Cd, so does the Voice of Jim Morrison on "Sunset" but they cannot save this album from fiasco, to me it feels like the guest attists take too much place, it's no longer so much of the original fat boy slim sound here. "Yo Mama" got a cool sound though, but he could have tried to do something more with that song. "Song for shelter" is dark and slow aswell, think he even released it on single. Let's just wait for a better time, this album was really a flop
answer:
NEG
