I bought the Alfie sound track last year in hope that Mick Jagger had finaly done a solo (Soloish) project which was actually worth listening to. I was pleasantly suprised. I thought that he and Dave stewart achieved a cool sound. Especially on Old Habits Die Hard. |

Mick has already released something worth listening to. It was a solo album released in 1993 called Wandering Spirit. It's a great album and, if you haven't actually listened to it or if has been sometime since you heard it last, it comes highly recommended.

Wandering Spirit is the best album since Tattoo You, I will be very pleased with a new Stones album like that.
Alfie is so so, half good songs and half crap. |

Don't forget about Talk is Cheap- another great album (without a doubt Keith's best solo album).
I've always wondered what Steel Wheels would have sounded like if the best material from this album had been included. The same with Voodoo Lounge (if the best material from Wandering Spirit had been included). |

Well, since Keith ahs only done 2 studio efforst & one was the disappointing Main Offender, Talk Is Cheap would win by default anyway. But it is good; in fact, I'd rate it above any of Mick's stuff on certain days. |

Talk is Cheap is my second fav. solo album. |

I think Primitive Cool is ok, but has some serious clunkers on it.
Wandering Spirit i played once, and sold on ebay this year. |

When I first got into the Stones a few years back. I bought Jaggers solo album Goddess in the Doormay. I was so dissapointed that I didnt dare dabble with anyother solo stuff.
Might buy Talk is Cheap today |

well, you HAVE to buy it scrounge! it's great, best solo album by any stone, IMO
Alfie surprised me a lot, i think it has a nice seventies flav on it. I think it was good to mick to be compelled to keep the same mood for an entire project and not to be free to compile the usual set of songs (rocker, country, pop, dance, folk, bluesy etc) that he likes so much and think is the only way to make an album. So you have different songs, some very good some weaker, but a sense of unity, of consistency that you can't find on B2B or goddess (that by the way is crap from any pov) and not even in the good wandering spirit |

why do you think Keith called Goddes Dogshit on the Doormat? On the ohter hand Main Offender is also largely bullshit. I agree with Soldatti. Wandering Spirit is the best album since Tattoo You. |

I know its not quiet the same but I went to see Ronnie Wood Do Far East Man a year or two back and was quiet relieved to actualy HEAR what Ronnie was playing. A nice change from the stones stuff |

I dont think he was too bad mate. I was probably in a worse state than him. |

i like a couple of micks solos especially old habits. but of course hes much better off with the stones.
i saw when he performed alone in SNL. and it just didnt look right not having keith by his side and charlie at his back. |
|
|
| Soldatti |
When he went to SNL struggled to keep the rhythm of God Gave Me Everything. I didn't see that in Mick before. |

What do you mean by that? |

wandeing spirit is the best stones album since undercover........
from godess, don't call me up and too far gone are from goddess and blind leading the blind from alfie are his best since wandering spirit;
too bad they were on his solo because alot of people, including stones fans, missed them.....
is blind leading the blind an old song? i found a dave stewart b-side with the same title from 94......with jagger in the credits;
anybody know anythinbg about that?
and yes soldatti, what did you mean by that? i didn't see the performance..... |

He sang his soul out during the song, plus some harp too. He was very tired at the end. |
