>> Too Tight (Keith-riff, at least) <<
I wrote Flip the Switch, and (Mick) had a lot of input on that. Same with Lowdown and Too Tight.

One of the few cuts I liked off this one. Keith's contributions seem minimal on the entire album. Still, it's so difficult for me to listen to post Wyman studio work. I keep hearing where Bill would have transformed the sound with just a few notes here and there. So sad. And they just don't get, or care, how important their bass sound is in the studio. Can someone suggest a good Daryl Jones jazz track with Miles Davis, or someone else? Because he lacks the presence the Stones demand as a rock bassist. That's the main reason I don't expect a lot from them in the studio ever again. The bottom is gone.

Yeah, my point exactly. Keith brought in lots of stuff, as did Mick. Some of it they shaped together, other stuff by themselves. - Dandelion Powerman
I guess what I should have said is that what Keith did contribute was not very memorable. I very much like 'You Don't Have to Mean It', but the rest of it I don't remember. IMO it's the weakest of their post-Wyman studio output.

Did Bill really add much to any studio album? I loved his playing live, but studio? Steel Wheels was his last one, and he set out at least three songs off the top of my head. On Exile he plays something like 7 out of 18. Marianne Faithful said in her autobio that Keith played the bass on almost all the 60s songs. So don't use Bill as an excuse not to listen to Bridges. It's all in your head. Give it a chance. It's a great, great album. Gunface is a very powerful track. This was the album I used to turn all my college buddies onto The Stones and they still talk about how amazing it was that The Stones could record an album in their fifties that was AS GOOD as anything they recorded in their twenties.

I have always loved this track and one that gets multiple repeats when I listen to B2B. I love the anger, the energy and feel of the whole track.

This track is top notch in every way, I love it. Only half of B2B´s songs please me, but this one surely does. What power! Kinda reminds of Dirty Work´s best moments. Voice and guitars are great sounding indeed. Modern sounding and at the same time classic Stones. A highlight in their post-DW-catalogue.

Both Gunface and Mother Of A Man are archetypal Mick-by-numbers, imo.

And both fantastic tracks ... although Mother Of A Man is actually the better of the 2.

Of the three post Wyman albums this one seems to be the least successful, the one that has not aged well.
