Tributee: The Rolling Stones. Liner Note Author: Miko Jackson. Arranger: Miko Jackson. The deeply weird Bossa 'n Stones collection is like a Mad Libs version of a tribute record. It's as if its subject (the Rolling Stones) and style (contemporary bossa nova) were selected at random, with the end result designed to provoke nervous giggles. The finished product doesn't make much more sense. You can't imagine a wider chasm than what separates the thunderous drumming of Charlie Watts from the feather-light, percolating rhythms of bossa nova, rendering all of the performances off-kilter and out-of-step. Moreover, the dark, menacing bravado of the best Mick Jagger and Keith Richards songs exists in diametric opposition to the playful sensuality these performances evoke -- the vocals don't mesh at all with the lyrics. That all said, Bossa 'n Stones is livelier and more passionate than anything the Stones themselves recorded since Tattoo You -- tepid praise, but probably better than the set deserves. ~ Jason Ankeny
