I love what Taylor did with the Stones. Not at all into playing Brian vs Taylor vs Ronnie. They all do great stuff. But I think even if you are a Taylorite you can't deny that his solo career has been less than stellar and that songwriting has always been his weakness. (Much like Jeff Beck e.g)
But I just got through listening to his first solo album. The one with "Leather Jacket". That title, "Broken Hands", "Baby I Want You" are all excellent tracks. Hats off to Mick Taylor. I am still listening and it is good. "SW5" , "Giddy Up" could figure on any Ron Wood soloalbum.
Also checked out his version of "Winter" w/Carla Olsen. IMO that 12:45 solo holds it's own.Most of excercises like that decline into noodling, and while he sure wanks it here and there somehow that one is a cool jam.
What was "Stone's Throw" like?

Jeff Beck is teaching us all how to love music again.

His last three studio albums have been an avalanche of fresh, inspired, raw creativity.

Jeff Beck still plays balls to the wall loud and hard too.

He is the last of his breed still doing what he does best.

And I love him for it.

I love ya Jeff!!!

true - the tragedy of mt is his songwriting skills ....otherwise, he would be a GIANT.
much funkier and more graceful, melodic than clapton -
and one day, the world will know...
don't know when - but....
