As mentioned in some earlier posts, the Rolling Stones are one of the classic music acts spanning many decades now who are out with some new music. In their case, there are actually two tracks which have been released. Both have a very different tone and feel to them.
When I first heard the new Rolling Stones tune "Rough And Twisted," I admittedly thought that maybe this gem was an old song which the band either released long ago, and which I simply somehow was not familiar with. Or perhaps it was an unreleased track.
Admittedly, I could not imagine that it was a new song.
Why?
Because it has a distinctly old, vintage feel to it. It sounds more like a song which they might have released in the seventies than in 2026.
Frankly, it is the best song that I have heard from the Stones in a long time.
Since then, they released another song, as well. This one is called "In the Stars." A solid track, although it did not grab me as immediately as "Rough and Twisted" managed to do.
Yet, I found it almost stunning that Mick Jagger can still reach soaring vocals, like a man half his age. Or one-third his age, frankly. He still sounds like a man who could be in his twenties, which is saying something, given his age and all of the drugs and alcohol which surely took a toll on his health and, one would think, his voice. But there is no trace of that in either of these two songs.
