I recently came across a release which some of you may enjoy. "All Wood And Stones" by Batdorf & Stanley. John Batdorf (Batdorf & Rodney/Silver) and James Lee Stanley (Two Man Band w/ Peter Tork/Mike Nesmith)have taken 11 classic stones songs and given them a California acoustic feel. Imagine Mick Jagger and Keith Richards as California boys with acoustic guitars. Fans of CSNY, Buffalo Springfield, America, Beach Boys will be pleased. The arrangements are beautiful and the vocal harmonies shine. They have enlisted some help from Laurence Juber (Paul McCartney/Wings), Peter Tork (Monkees), Timothy B. Schmit (Poco/Eagles), Paul Barrere (Little Feat), Ken Lyon (Divinyls, Lemonheads,Evan Dando), Scott Breadman (Lindsey Buckingham) , Laura Hall. The result is a pleasing acoustical interpretation of the Stones material. Listen to sound clips and decide for yourself. I am really enjoying it. http://www.allwoodandstones.com/awsdesign/ or http://home.earthlink.net/~batmacmusic/ Take Care, Keith Cook
