...Satan could sing, he'd probably sound a lot like Mick Jagger. Jagger can be at once insolent, charming and slightly lewd. His is the voice of silky excess, the serenade of a jaded demon. On Love Is Strong, the first cut from the Rolling Stones' fine new album, Voodoo Lounge, Jagger is at his seductive, sneering best. The song, with its coiling harmonica and swaggering rhythm, sounds like a surefire smash, the kind of hit that will be blaring from radios all summer...
Plenty of both, it turns out. On Voodoo Lounge, Jagger and company have recaptured the spontaneous verve of a great working band. You Got Me Rocking, a full-tilt stomp built on Charlie Watts' brick-solid drumming and Richards' saw-toothed guitar lines, has the frayed, unrehearsed ending of a live performance, as does Moon Is Up. Producer Don Was has avoided trying to update the band's sound with trendy hip-hop or techno touches. Instead, he helps serve up a classic collection of rockers and semisweet ballads...

The once lackadaisical trade embargo is beginning to bite now that U.S. ships are forcibly halting all sea traffic and the land border from the Dominican Republic has been virtually shut down. Two new measures aimed at toppling the strongmen who deposed democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1991 -- suspension of all commercial air traffic from the U.S. beginning this Saturday...
...first since signing a $35 million, five-album deal with RCA -- the band has returned to its roadhouse roots and emerged renewed and as bristly as ever. The album kicks off with the high-voltage Pincushion and never lets up. From the syncopated stomp of Fuzzbox Voodoo to the scrawl of searing guitar notes on Cherry Red, the trio, led by Gibbons' supple guitar work, rocks with earnest, no-frills intensity that harks back to ZZ Top's first hit, La Grange...
