(3 Customer Reviews)
In an age of pre-fabs, readymades and wannabes, it's a gas gas gas to hear the truth, the guts of rock and roll peek through the curtains of time. VOODOO LOUNGE is a remarkable experience, the most visceral, daring Rolling Stones album since...who knows when.
Without seeking to alter their basic approach, producer Don Was has given this classic band a contemporary perspective. VOODOO LOUNGE proves that the Stones are still hard after 30 years on the world stage. There's an edge and a sense of danger to VOODOO LOUNGE that is palpable from the reassuring crunch of Richards and Wood on the opening "Love Is Strong," through the honky tonk bump of "Baby Break It Down" and the blue suede groove of "Mean Disposition."
The departure of bassist Bill Wyman has forced the Stones to dig deep, and the arrival of Darryl Jones has given drummer Charlie Watts, if not a new lease on life, a different point of view. Watts and Wyman were like the Benny Benjamin and James Jamerson of rock'n'roll, and without his trusted rhythm mate, the drummer has to listen like his life depended on it. Because producer Don Was insisted Mick have actual lyrics ready for the basic tracks, it obliged the Stones to return to the kind of live, spontaneous rhythm section feel that made even their most humble throwaways just jump out and bite you on the ass.
VOODOO LOUNGE won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.

Rolling Stone (8/11/94, p.65) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...VOODOO LOUNGE, is ragged and glorious, reveling in the quintessential rock & roll the Stones marked as their own some 30 years ago...the songs on VOODOO LOUNGE find the Stones charged with renewed musical nerve..." Q (8/94, p.109) - 3 Stars - Good - "...VOODOO LOUNGE is no classic, but nor is it the resounding hound it could have been. And with `Out Of Tears' they prove there are still tantalising glimmers of genius..." Musician (8/94, p.86) - "...There are substances, style and newness here that--for the first time in many years--make a Rolling Stones album seem more a work of art than Phase One of a three-year business plan..." Mojo (Publisher) (1/95, p.52) - Included in Mojo's "25 Best Albums of 1994".

| Voodoo Lounge Music Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)   well... the only classic sounding stones track is "Love is Strong". It runs too long and basically has not aged well. There are some high points through out but your mot missing out if you do not purcahse this CD. That goes with the 2 other studio releases after this. I think Steel Wheels was the last solid Stones album. Of course with Bill Wyman on Bass. Basically buy any albums with him on bass. Those are the good Stones albums period.

skip this one this is their worst album since
"Its Only Rock and Roll" Not one good track on the whole thing. If you must have it, pick it up at a used cd store. Submitted by chastua (florida) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Possibly Their Best Album! After a decade of declining popularity in the 1980's and a five year absence in the early 90's, the Stones resurfaced in 1994 with "Voodoo Lounge," their most powerful album since, possibly, 1981's "Tatoo You." The Rolling Stones proved that after thirty years, they could still rock, and with "Voodoo Lounge," they rocked harder than most current bands of that time!

Purchase Voodoo Lounge CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
Voodoo Lounge album
$9.58 Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a rather faithful version of Madonna's "You'll See," I Dreamed a Dream could very well have been released all those years ago, as it mixes up the show tunes, gospel, and Christmas carols with covers of Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World," the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses," and a version of "Daydream Believer" that is easily the slowest on record. Boyle sings beautifully throughout, ...
| | Jimmy Buffett Buffet Hotel CD (2009)
Voodoo Lounge CD music
$9.74 Since Jimmy Buffett never leaves his comfort zone, it's hard to call 2009's Buffet Hotel a return to roots but, in a way, it is. Discounting the mock rap on "Turn Up the Heat and Chill the Rosé," this album doesn't even have the lingering country and reggae flavors that seasoned 2006's Take the Weather with You, with all of the songs riding a cool, mellow country-rock wave, the kind that has been his stock-in-trade since the `70s. There's a difference between being part of a tradition and being stuck in the past and Buffett is surely in the former, not shying away from the new millennial mess, admitting that we all have "A Lot to Drink About" and never flinching from his advancing years, most movingly on a cover of Bruce Cockburn's "Life's Short Call Now." Cockburn's song is paired with another ...
| | Mark Knopfler Get Lucky CD (2009)
Voodoo Lounge music CDs
$15.65 With the release of GET LUCKY, Mark Knopfler has made as many solo studio albums as he made group studio albums with Dire Straits, which itself may be a signal that it's time to stop comparing his two careers and simply accept them as separate entities. Of course, since Knopfler was the lead singer, chief instrumentalist, and songwriter for Dire Straits, there are obvious similarities, even if he has taken a deliberately different path as a solo artist. Basically, he's a lot quieter. "Border Reiver," the first song here, begins with a pennywhistle and a piano, then strings join in. Soon enough, ...
| | Lady Gaga Fame Monster CD (2009)
Voodoo Lounge songs
$8.79 Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad "Speechless" -- its big guitars lifted from Noel Gallagher -- and the wonderful, perverse march "Teeth." Even the stuttering splices on "Telephone," a duet with Beyoncé, leans to the other side of the Atlantic, which just emphasizes the otherness that's become Gaga's calling card. And even as she's becoming omnipresent, with her songs ...
