Album Notes The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards (vocals, guitar); Charlie Watts (drums). Personnel: Michael Davis (trombone). Additional personnel: Lisa Fischer, Blondie Chaplin, Bernard Fowler (vocals); Tim Ries (saxophone, keyboards); Bobby Keys (saxophone); Kent Smith (trumpet); Chuck Leavell (keyboards); Darryl Jones (bass guitar). Several things are clear from watching Martin Scorsese's concert movie SHINE A LIGHT. One is that the Rolling Stones are old. Another is that they're still able to play with a tightness and vigor that stands up to the music being made by most current 20-something outfits. That energy crackles through the 16 tracks on the SHINE A LIGHT soundtrack, the film's sonic counterpart, which captures the Stones at New York City's Beacon Theater in 2006 in surprisingly stripped-down, feral form. There's nothing flashy or pretentious about the Stones' performance, which helps highlight their unmistakably natural, time-tested ease playing with each other. Even dusty classics like "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Brown Sugar" come off with flair, and lesser-played gems like "Faraway Eyes" and "You Got the Silver" are a welcome treat. The guests-the White Stripes' Jack White on "Loving Cup," Buddy Guy on the Muddy Waters' classic "Champagne and Reefer," and Christina Aguilera on a fiery version of "Live With Me"-enliven the band, and provide some of the album's best moments. Given the amount of live Stones' material available, and the band's already towering legend, the necessity of such a set may be debatable, but it's hard not to hear this for what it is: a good rock show from a band that knows its stuff. | Find errors in the product description?

Report this review If you were lucky enough to get the movie showing somewhere close to you, you will love this soundtrack. I went 3 times to the movie; this soundtrack brings back the frickin' fire the movie gave me. Long live The Rolling Stones and Martin Scorcese.... I can't recall when I'd had sooooo much fun at the movies, but then again seeing The Boys live is an experience in itself too, not to mention who directed this awesome party! Thank You Martin!

Mick as alive as ever:) Dancing , playing guitar & his singing was very impressive as was everyone in the band. For a band that has been around for ever they still know how to rock & roll. Great CD , I listen to it on the PC as I'm working. Can't wait for the DVD Movie to come out. Review ID: 10000000007195917 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
