Mostly recorded without Brian Jones -- who died several months before its release (although he does play on two tracks) and was replaced by Mick Taylor (who also plays on just two songs) -- this extends the ock and lues feel of Beggars Banquet into slightly harder-rocking, more demonically sexual territory. The Stones were never as consistent on album as their main rivals, the Beatles, and Let It Bleed suffers from some rather perfunctory tracks, like "Monkey Man" and a countrified remake of the classic "Honky Tonk Woman" (here titled "Country Honk"). Yet some of the songs are among their very best, especially "Gimme Shelter," with its shimmering guitar lines and apocalyptic lyrics; the harmonica-driven "Midnight Rambler"; the druggy party ambience of the title track; and the stunning "You Can't Always Get What You Want," which was the Stones' "Hey Jude" of sorts, with its epic structure, horns, philosophical lyrics, and swelling choral vocals. "You Got the Silver" (Keith Richards' first lead vocal) and Robert Johnson's "Love in Vain," by contrast, were as close to the roots of acoustic down-home lues as the Stones ever got.
You Can’t Always Get What You Want is the closing track on the 1969 Rolling Stones album Let It Bleed. Regular readers may remember we did our first Stones song edition of Cover Wars two months ago when we took a look at covers of Can’t You Hear Me Knocking.There are some very interesting quotes regarding the drumming on this track included in the book According to the Rolling Stones, you can

One listen to this song, and it quickly becomes apparent what the Strolling Bones have LOST. A Bigger Bang is a pale shadow of what stone's music used to be. Now everything is so over-produced and fussed with in the studio that its become a sterile, clear-channel reproduction of Strolling Bones Music. On it's own, without the baggage of past glories, A Bigger Bang is not bad, especialy when...

I'm not just talking about a favorite song. I'm talking about a favorite song that seems to encapsulate important aspects of your personality. The song that would play when your character first walked in in the movie of your life. The song that you will play every day when you have your own radio show. Sure, it's a bit of an egotistical affectation to have one, but, hey, that's me. In fact, I h...

I went to Target the other day to get clothes for my kids and I passed through the entertainment Aisle. On display was the UK film Stoned on Dvd for 12 bucks! I had seen the reviews and I STILL bought it! Anyway, I watched the whole thing last night. It seemed to capture the way I thought it looked like at 'THE OLD MILNE PLACE' when Jones was found at the bottom of his pool. However, it dragge...

Some artists are more than merely great. There are some artists that for a period of years, a period that is finite, consistently produced music that, it can be argued, far exceeded the work of their peers. For that brief period of time they were definitely Masters of the Form.It begins with 40 ominous seconds, dangerous seconds; 40 instantly intriguing seconds that capture the imagination of...
