Sticky Fingers - THE ROLLING STONES*****

Brown Sugar/Sway/Wild Horses/Can't You Hear Me Knocking/You Gotta Move/Bitch/I Got The Blues/Sister Morphine/Dead Flowers/Moonlight Mile

The run of acclaimed albums from the world’s premier rock band The Rolling Stones continued with Sticky Fingers. Includes the US No.1 and UK No.2 hit single Brown Sugar. (US:1 UK:1)

“Sticky Fingers is the toughest, tightest, best blues-rock album ever released. The sound of the soft faraway thump of voodoo drums over darkened Southern fields and the Devil waiting down at the crossroads just pervades this entire album and soaks it deeply with an evil blues funk unparalleled in music.”

“Sticky Fingers is the best album from one of the best bands ever. Everything seems to gel so perfectly from Mick Taylor's astounding guitar work to Mick Jagger at his peak as a vocalist. Brown Sugar is among the best opening tracks. Sway is great, and Wild Horses is an amazing ballad. A great album from start to finish.”

“Mick is in fantastic voice with a confidence and attitude that had really honed itself on the previous two or three releases. Here the Stones found a groove, one that hits you in the face with licks that have inspired so many, but rarely equalled. If only the Stones could have kept up this level, they would have been untouchable.”

“Sticky Fingers has always been one of the staples of classic rock, with good reason. The songwriting is fabulous. A lot of their versatility is shown. You get typical blues rock music with Brown Sugar and emotionally charged acoustic music with Wild Horses. Everything is wonderfully executed.”

“Mick Jagger's vocal range is a lot better on this album mainly because there are a variety of styles. In the more rock tracks, his voice is crazy and totally appropriate for the music. In the more ballad songs, it is soft enough to really convey emotion. Jaggers' vocals are probably the best thing about this album.”

“On this album, The Rolling Stones found the best lead guitar player they ever had. Mick Taylor is a very tasteful, melodic, bluesy, and ripping guitarist. This album also contains some of the greatest and most memorable songs they ever wrote.”

“The Stones retained their title as the world's greatest rock and roll band with songs like Brown Sugar and Bitch, but it is the murky, slow songs that are the ones which reveal Sticky Fingers true heart.”
