Recorded in Dublin and in Los Angeles, and produced by Don Was, Voodoo Lounge topped the British charts on its release in 1994. The rockers Love Is Strong - featuring Jagger on harmonica - You Got Me Rocking and I Go Wild all performed strongly in the UK Top 40, while Out Of Tears continued the group's fine tradition of late-night, soul-searching, soul-infused ballads and featured a killer vocal performance by Jagger. The singer also excelled on the equally contemplative Blinded By Rainbows, a forgotten gem in their repertoire, and the swaggering Sparks Will Fly, driven by the ever-excellent Charlie Watts on drums. Voodoo Lounge deservedly won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 1995.

Voodoo Lounge

(Steel Wheels and Voodoo Lounge) were different from most Stones albums because both times on both albums we went to an island called Barbados. It could have been anywhere, but it happened to be Eddy Grant's place in Barbados on both counts. We spent three months (sic) there. Mick and Keith were there first and then I joined them and we just played. So by the time we got into the recording studio, we could play something and you'd go, Oh, I remember that... I did this and that on it. You're already a third of a way to getting it together by doing that.

Voodoo Lounge

...showed the Stones were serious about continuing to rock their way through the 1990s...Some cynics wondered if the Stones would start slowing down when they reached their 60's. Voodoo Lounge proved they wouldn't. | 5 stars
