Music reviews of Wandering SpiritMusic Review: Mick Covers The Spectrum At first you might never think of a Rolling Stone as an all around musical player who can deal with many different styles. But,despite their garagy rock n roll framework the Stones were so successful largely because they could take that style and blend everything from funk to folk into it. And that is exactly what Mick does on his third solo recording and the one many believe is his best. Now having experienced the very bloodless Primitive Cool personally I have to say that assessment might be very close to the truth. Mick is able to strut his stuff across "Wired All Night","Put Me In The Trash",the title song and "Mother Of A Man" which are all rocking tunes that would easily function on any Rolling Stone album in terms of quality alone. One of the standout qualities of this album is the heavy amount of funk and R&B here. It's what always made the very core of Mick's music in any context work and it's in full throttle here. "Use Me" is just about perfect for Mick;the arrangement and music is very close to Bill Withers' original but,at the same time Mick's vocals actually better the original because he turns Bill's moaning indifference into a growling,emotional tract. "Sweet Thing" finds Mick throwing down on a heavy funk original using his pimping,swaggering falsetto to the same great affect that he did thirteen years earlier on the title song of Emotional Rescue. On "Don't Tear Me Up" there's a chunky funk-blues backup that is more in Mick's comfort zone but is still strongly in the groove. Mick really has a way of allowing one to hear the funkiness in blues and vice versa and the idea that he's often able to cross any bridges between the two says a lot about how he handles his musical influences. The choice to cover James Brown's "Think",a somewhat neglected song in his vast catalog was deep-especially considering how the rollicking R&B flavor of James's original was in fact part of the musical tapestry from which the Stones started in the first place so,here we have Mick basically returning the favor:while James was still alive to be aware of it too. There are also two country songs on here in "Evening Gown" and "Hang Onto Me Tonight" which speak to a more rural expression of Mick's nature and he makes sure their both plenty bluesy to accomodate his style of course. "Angel In My Heart" is a well orchestrated ballad that works for Mick the way...say "Waiting For A Friend" does. The album ends with on a celtic pop note with "Handsome Molly". In any case Mick makes this album his and his no slave to any guests or to his production co-hort Rick Rubin. That,in addition to the strong overall material is one of the reasons why this album was such an artistic success.
