Brand: ROLLING STONES EAN: 0724383952526 Format: Original recording reissued, Original recording remastered Label: Virgin Records Us Manufacturer: Virgin Records Us MPN: 724383952526 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Virgin Records Us Release Date: July 26, 1994 Studio: Virgin Records Us Editorial Review: Product Description: No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: ROLLING STONES Title: STICKY FINGERS Street Release Date: 07/26/1994 Genre: ROCK/POP Amazon.com essential recording: "Sister Morphine," the heart of guitarist Mick Taylor's first full studio album with the Stones, doesn't get the airplay of "Brown Sugar" or "Wild Horses." But it's one of the most vivid, horrifying songs about drug abuse ever recorded--as Mick Jagger sings "from my hospital bed," the ringing guitars of Taylor and Keith Richards build to full catharsis behind him. On that and lighter songs like the countryish "Dead Flowers" and the rocker "Bitch," Charlie Watts establishes himself as rock's prototypical drummer. He's creative and propulsive and knows how to swing, but he never overwhelms the song or the other Stones. --Steve Knopper Amazon.com: Only a peak-of-their-powers Stones could manage to overshadow one of their very greatest albums by surrounding it in their studio chronology with Let It Bleed and Exile on Main St.. Sticky Fingers, however, is anything but an also-ran. Offering some of the band's most inspired twists on their basic approach--"Sway," the midtempo rocker that would sound orchestral even without Paul Buckmaster's climactic string arrangement; the gorgeous closer "Moonlight Mile"--this also rocks like the demon they had lived to face another day after Altamont. And, as if to prove their minds were still as dirty as their music, its keynote is "Brown Sugar." --Rickey Wright Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great MusicA must for anyone with an interest in The Rolling Stones. This is a great album Rating: - The Best Stone Album?Sticky Fingers is a landmark Stones recording, rivaled and perhaps surpassed, only by Let It Bleed. Mick Jagger's performance on Sticky Fingers was a perfect rock'n'roll 10. Great album. Rating: - As good as they gotFor my money, the Stones never put out a better album than 1971's "Sticky Fingers". I know, I know, 1968's "Beggar's Banquet" and 1972's "Exile On Main Street" have their devotees, but "Sticky Fingers" is the World's Greatest Rock And Roll Band at its absolute zenith in the studio. Though he never really fit into the group's aesthetic, the young Mick Taylor was, technically, the best guitarist the band ever had, and helped return them to their blues base after Brian Jones died. And, in my opinion, ... Read More Rating: - Demon LifeMisanthropic, gothic, indestructable. Purists will inevitably favor Exile over Sticky, and it's true we've heard "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses" 'til we're dizzy with indifference, BUT, there's something to be said about that 3:52 residing between. And I'll say it: "Sway" is the quintessential Stones session and, most likely, the perfectest damaged purebloodedest rock song ever recorded. It's got that underhanded epic quality, coming way down , which nobody else (like, GnR) could ever effect. Sounds ... Read More Rating: - Quintessential, adamantine, monolithic StonesTo extract the essence of the golden age of music (60s to early 80s), you need only spend time on about 10 groups/artists, the top 5 of which must include Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and, of course, The Rolling Stones. Marrow lies in the center, right inside the bones, and for the Stones that marrow is fittingly to be found in that middle period which includes 'Exile on Main Street', 'Get Yer Ya Yas Out', 'Let it Bleed' and 'Sticky Fingers'. And of that ... Read More |
