Music reviews of Bridges to Babylon (Reis)
Music Review: '...a sinuous, crackling classic...'
Rating: 4 Stars
I'm one of the original American Stones fans. I remember in '64 when Murray the K came back from London with some crappy audio recording of the crowds going berserk as the Stones performed at Wembley. Murray (aka 'the 5th Beatle') frantically described the scene as a raw, sex-charged display.
I got away from them in the '80s after the Tempe, AZ concert that was filmed for "Let's Spend the Night Together." And I have to say I haven't been very faithful in the three decades since.
Then, about 6 months ago, I finally found a copy of Stanley Booth's "The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones," which is focused on the fateful '69 tour that climaxed at Altamont. Booth had complete access to the band, for the length of the tour and for the next 15 years. (Booth is a slooow author.) It is by far the most professional and insightful book on the boys - on Stu and Keef especially. It recounts all the sad, angry and crazy stuff that went down with Brian. We also revisit the comedy of errors at Redlands - Keef's estate - in absurd detail.
A friend loaned me 'According to the Rolling Stones,' a coffee-table book containing lots of interesting tales and first person recollections by the lads. It's an excellent effort and a bit of a family project. It's edited by Charlie Watts and Dora Loewenstein, among others, Dora being the daughter of Prince Rupert, the Stones' business adviser for about 40 years.
'True Adventures' and 'According to...' - sent me back to the discography to catch up. By luck, I landed first on 'Bridges to Babylon,' a sinuous, crackling classic overflowing with carefully crafted mischief. Charlie and Daryl lead the sonic assault that carries all the stops and starts. I haven't listened to 'Bridges' that many times, but it is clearly among Keef's best vocal efforts.
There is a different Mick on display here. He's not the brash, boastful old satyr. This man has doubts, as does any man in his mid-50s. He even gets a bit confessional. I found it quite appealing. After a certain point in one's life, it's time to put away the Little Red Rooster.
Another reviewer credited the Dust Brothers - producers of the sessions - for creating the atmosphere of 'Bridges.' If that's so, then good on them.
As long as we're hearing confessions, I must admit I had never listened to 'Bridges to Babylon' until a few days ago. (Be aware it is now in heavy rotation at mi casa.) Soon, I may be ready to include 'Bridges' in my Stones Top Ten. Highly recommended.
Description of Bridges to Babylon (Reis)
Originally issued in 1997, Bridges To Babylon made the Top 3 in the US and number 6 in the UK. The yearning and sinuous Anybody Seen My Baby? and the mean and moody Saint Of Me - both Top 30 hits in the UK - in particular, showed the band remained at the cutting edge. Energetic rockers Low Down and Too Tight repay further investigation as do the three tracks sung by Richards, in particular the closer How Can I Stop which features another jazz legend, Wayne Shorter, on saxophone.Classic Rock CDs
