Dang Forest, that's hard-core critique ^there^ bud... don't hold back. =)
The thing kinda' grew on me later... I was a senior in high school when Tango in the Night came out, which was coincidentally about the same time I started playing bass. I worked my way backwards through all the albums prior, but it was a while before I got the big picture. I was but a pup in 1969 when John and Mick started their namesake trip, so it wasn't like I had grown up with the classic blues/rock incarnations of the band. I was however, fascinated by them in good ol' 1987 though... it kinda' became the soundtrack for my late teens.
Now, here's a fine example of the small world that is music... I actually knew Buster B. (Brad) Jones, and had the chance to play with him a couple times. Not only that, I'm tracking this coming Saturday morning at Flat Five Studios where a good portion of his music was recorded. The tracking engineer Tom Ohmsen, is a mutual friend. RIP Brad... he was a monster player.
