Very Best of Mick Jagger [2 LP]

Mick Jagger never achieved much commercial success with his solo material (certainly nothing that touched the hem of his work with the Rolling Stones), but across four solo albums and a number of singles and outtakes he managed to put together a respectable body of work. That work is well selected and represented on 2007's THE VERY BEST OF MICK JAGGER, the singer's first solo collection.
In contrast to the Stones' gritty, blues-drenched rock, Jagger's solo work has always been unabashedly pop, and that tendency is evident on VERY BEST. From the disco-inflected "Just Another Night" to the bouncy call-to-arms "Let's Work" to his duet with David Bowie on "Dancing In the Streets," Jagger delivers polished products that are as edible as candy. In addition to his chart hits, the set features a few choice rarities, including 1970's "Memo to Turner," and a blues-drenched cover of Sonny Boy Williamson's "Checkin' Up On My Baby." A DVD featuring interviews, videos, and live performances, rounds out the package.
