Standout tracks like “Angry,” “Get Close,” and “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” highlight the band’s versatility and creative spirit, proving that their musical journey is far from over. The album’s closing track, a stripped-down rendition of Muddy Waters’ “Rolling Stone Blues,” serves as a fitting tribute to the band’s enduring legacy.
As the Stones prepare for their upcoming performance at the Jazz Fest, fans can anticipate a mix of classic hits and fresh tracks from “Hackney Diamonds.” While favorites like “Start Me Up” are sure to make an appearance, new gems like “Mess It Up” and “Driving Me Too Hard” offer a glimpse into the band’s evolving sound.
