Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones (The)

...into the studio to record Sticky Fingers, they had made enough albums to retire on. Released on their own 'Rolling Stones Records' label, in fact their first album on this label, this album was joining the long list of classic, relentless albums. Hard workers, they forever remained faithful to their original black America blues roots, but had adapted the sound to white British rock and roll. Their organic style was immediately 'cool,' and their showmanship ...
...not hold their breath for Sticky Fingers. An album described as screamingly suggestive before the listener could even take it out of the sleeve, came from the working zip on the cover in its rightful place on the crotch of the jeans. A design from the thoughts of Andy Warhol and Craig Brown, this album was also the first to show the famous lips and tongue logo. A logo that was to be about as famous as Coca Cola. It was given to the band by John ...

Review of Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones (The)

...music undoubtedly benefits from having Sticky Fingers here on 'Sticky Fingers'. Oh how I kill myself! This is when the Rolling Stones were real, man, before the self-parody crept in. Now don't get me wrong, I adore seeing the Stones still rolling out on to the road, I hope they all turn into wheel-chair bound 90 year olds still going out touring. They're great. However, Mick Jagger has too desperately tried to cling on to his youth and the band has ...
...is quite simply Quality. To control quality was what made and still makes 'Sticky Fingers' one of the finest long players you can ever let your ears be graced by. Quality. How Sticky IS Sticky he asked. Very Sticky he answered. You're free to leave now. ...

Review of Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones (The)

...important to remember that 1971’s Sticky Fingers is not, however, all about Brown Sugar. Unquestionably the song is one of rock n’ rolls finest, but all too often Sticky Fingers’ subtle, quieter moments are forgotten. This album is one of the Stones’ best and stands its own against any of their other material. Sticky Fingers marks an important period of change in the Stones’ music. Entering a new decade meant that the ...
...and Let it Bleed. Sticky Fingers is a real blues rock n’ roll album. It is often compared and likened to Exile on Main Street and many people consider the latter an extended run of the former. It is true that the two albums are similar in musical styles and construction but whereas Exile is relaxed and calm, Sticky Fingers is a tight and powerful package, full of confidence. Here is a selection of some of the songs on the album. Brown Sugar ...

Review of Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones (The)

...first heard a track off Sticky Fingers. It was Honky Tonk Woman, and I loved it. I bought the 45 and played it until I thought my mom would scream in anguish. How many times could I possibly have played that song over and over? About 10 years later, I was reintroduced to Honky Tonk Woman and the entire Sticky Fingers album. Aside from being delighted by it's original and very naughty cover, I loved nearly every tune on this piece of vinyl. I must ...
...to sleep after a hot session of Can't You Hear Me Knocking. Also less-than-stellar was I've Got the Blues. It needed more force behind the vocals and the guitar work. All in all, I'd have to say that Sticky Fingers is one of the Stones finest works. ...

Review of Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones (The)

...from outtakes and much-labored-over songs, Sticky Fingers manages to have a loose, ramshackle ambience that belies both its origins and the dark undercurrents of the songs. It's a weary, drug-laden album &mdash well over half the songs explicitly mention drug use, while the others merely allude to it &mdash that never fades away, but it barely keeps afloat. Apart from the classic opener, "Brown Sugar" (a gleeful tune about slavery, interracial sex, ...
...Knocking" and the mean-spirited "Bitch," Sticky Fingers is a slow, bluesy affair, with a few country touches thrown in for good measure. The laid-back tone of the album gives ample room for new lead guitarist Mick Taylor to stretch out, particularly on the extended coda of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking." But the key to the album isn't the instrumental interplay &mdash although that is terrific &mdash it's the utter weariness of the songs. "Wild Horses" ...
