Rolling Stones with Darryl Jones, Waddy Wachtel, Jim Keltner, Benmont
Tench, Bernard Fowler, Doug Wimbish, Blondie Chaplin.
As can already be seen by the personnel on the album,
the closeness of VOODOO LOUNGE in terms of guest artists was sacrificed
for more variety and diversity on BRIDGES. Mick Jagger wanted it
to be a change of direction - as well as vocals he plays guitar
on Always Suffering. It is a slow tempo song and does not quite
meet the mark - it is an obvious Jagger-penned song. Waddy Wachtel
plays acoustic guitar, Benmonth Tench a Hammond B-3 organ and piano
and Jim Keltner is on percussion. The backing vocals include Keith
Richards, Waddy Wachtel, Benmont Tench, Bernard Fowler, Doug Wimbish,
Blondie Chaplin and do we believe the sleeve notes that Charlie
Watts also contributed vocals? For one of the few times on VOODOO,
Darryl Jones plays his white bass guitar.
