They are actually quite easy to tell apart:<br />- Jagger usually plays more in the low register with long, menacing notes, and he seems especially influenced by the Chicago school of amplified harpists. Also tell-tale is that when Jagger is the harpist, the harmonica never sounds alongside the vocals. Also if there are ostensibly two guitars, especially if there is slide guitar, the harpist is Jagger. Examples from the two albums you've reviewed so far: "Honest I do", "Little by little", "I'm a king bee", "Confessin' the blues".<br />- Jones usually plays more agile lines, but sounds less evil and also ventures more on the higher registers of the instrument. Also he has a tendency to play alongside the band throughout. You know the harp is Jones when he plays behind Jagger, when there is only one guitar, or when there's also percussion like maracas or tambourines which might be played by Jagger. Also usually he's the one who plays the instrumentals. Examples from these two albums: "Not fade away", "I just want to make love to you", "Now I've got a witness", "Empty heart", "Good times bad times" and "2120 South Michigan Avenue"Jaime Vargashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14412648861919343738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-10324145585569454122016-11-01T16:15:41.489+03:002016-11-01T16:15:41.489+03:00Great as usual.

As far as British Invasion albums go, this one's not bad, but it could be better. Here's my take:<br /><br />http://everybodysdummy.blogspot.com/2014/04/rolling-stones-2-12-x-5.htmlwardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825405583474881509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-27337941452021330652016-10-30T21:39:39.990+03:002016-10-30T21:39:39.990+03:00I'm surprised at your turn-around on "If ...I'm surprised at your turn-around on "If You Need Me" and "Empty Heart". What happened there? Not that I'm disagreeing (I kind of struggled to understand your contempt for them in the old reviews), but it seems like a big change from then. Was it just repeated listens that changed your mind?Mr. Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431440474437762706noreply@blogger.com
