"power in a Jagger-Richards song"

"There is simply a unique and quite recognizable power in a Jagger-Richards song that can't be denied. This compilation is a tribute to this pair's songwriting genius, fourteen songs appear on this album, with some of the most talented artists perforing their work.A few stand outs - "NO EXPECTATIONS" (Johnny Cash) with his "Folsom Prison Blues" tempo, is really different and entertaining - "TUMBLING DICE" (Linda Ronstadt) does real well with her distinctive style - "BROWN SUGAR" (Little Richard) high-voltage approach is simply electrifying.This is not just a toe-tapping CD, but pure energy one must experience if you're a Rolling Stone fan. Highly recommend this to all ages, a major surprise, a must buy for the young and old music fan!Total Time: 57:27 on 14 Tracks/ Hip-O Records - HIPD 40078 (1998)"

Not what I expected

"Quite disappointed with this album. Although the artists are all top notch, the renditions are poor at best. Aretha's should have been a gospel flavor, not the disco beat used. By listend to many of the tracks, I would guess that they were recorded in the late seventies."
