The Rolling Stones – ‘Living in a Ghost Town’
‘The Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band in the World’ bring this reggae infused slice of low-slung blues and it’s a welcome return in these troubled times. With all the class and quality you’d come to expect, Jagger, Richards, Watts and Woods shimmy and shake, Mick’s vocals as strong as ever as his partners in crime do what they do best by bringing their own touches of magic.

Featuring a great blues harp solo, this grabs the current mood precisely and the lyrics and accompanying video all add up to something that is incredibly special. They’ve been at the forefront of modern music for almost sixty years now and this new single shows that they’re in no rush to pass their crown on. Genius.
