So, I picked up the December issue of Uncut magazine yesterday. The mag itself is OK; I�ve certainly read worse recently (hello, Spin and Rolling Stone!), but there�s not really much here to get all hot & bothered about. Except for the free CD included with every copy, that is � 26 blues, R&B, soul and country tracks, as chosen by Keef Richards himself! Holy Moly! It was too irresistible to pass up. Kinda like getting a mix tape from god, in a way. Keef acquits himself nicely, I must say, although I could probably live the rest of my life without hearing Aaron Neville again & still die happy. That�s just my personal taste, though, and a few moments of squirming are more than compensated for by the presence of Clifton Chenier, Robert Johnson, Billie Holiday, Booker T & The MGs, T-Bone Walker� well, everything else on the disc, really. One bum track out of twenty-six is a pretty good batting average, where I�m from. I�d expect no less from Mr. Richards. Now if only I could say the same about his band, lately.
