CD-4 [VIGO-155] Subtitled: "Honest Ron Wood & Keith Richard(s)"
The fourth and final part of a review of "Voodoo Stew". These are the rawest and possibly
the most revealing and interesting tracks of the set. The tapes are rolling and people
are talking, warming-up, and rehearsing.
It Takes A Lot to Laugh
Jagger warming-up on keyboard and vocal. A cover of Bob Dylan's It Takes A Lot To
Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry from the 1965 classic "Highway 61 Revisited", which also
includes Like A Rolling Stone.
Trouble Man #1
This is indeed the Marvin Gaye song, and not Travelin' Man as listed on the packaging.
Jagger on keyboard-vocal. Gaye's version of the song is found on the 1972 "Trouble Man"
movie soundtrack on Motown Records. Also on his "Greatest Hits" on Motown. The riff
bares some similarity to Hide Your Love...variation on a theme of course.
Trouble Man #2
Turn your volume down at :24 seconds into the song because Keith plugs-in and is way
loud!
When I Wage a Crown
Keith is on vocal and piano. He is sorting it out as he goes. Ice clinking alert at
1:31 and after the song at 4:57.
Nearness of You #1
The familiar lost Richards studio standard! First surfaced on the "(In Tune With) Jam"
2LP (Longview Farm, August '81) from the early 80's. Keith still likes to play the
song. Don Was comes in at the end and asks Keith about the song and he informs "us"
it's "Hoagy Carmichael in 1941". Keith also comments upon sipping a glass of wine:
"Habits I don't mind, it's addictions that piss me off".
Nearness of You #2
Keith is working out the piano chords on this take. Woody joins-in at 6:03 with a
Nashville tuned guitar. The guy does a credible job of picking up the chording in the
Nashville tuning.
Nearness of You #3
Keith decides to get serious and has the mic. switched. It makes a big difference in
the sound quality of the vocal, and there's a nice continuous take through 3:23. Ron
adds a backing harmony and guitar as well. There is a rougher second take on this track
also.
Out of Tears-Conversation/Out of Tears begins again at 3:23
There is lots of conversation going on, and the "drive on by" version of the song is
playing in the background. It gets louder as it goes and eventually dominates the
track.
Studio Conversation
This is what's left of the conversation after Out Of Tears stops playing.
You Got It Made
This is a playback with Keith and Ronnie attempting to add backing harmonies. They're
trying to get the reverb set, and it's very entertaining to listen to these guys work
with each other. Ron replaces the "while" lyric with "time" and Keith comments "time is
money, while is forever". Words of wisdom... They tease, kid, and bully. Keith is
definitely the big brother in the relationship. Many starts and stops on the track.
MJ: Please have Keith release this song on the next record.
