ROLLING STONES "let it bleed" cd, 1969:
the Stones' tenth studio set...
Im starting to think im a sucker for aural punishment...
I guess I am still, but to a point here...
this is album is musically what I call 'dirty', not in the lyrics,
but in the rough and ragged sound of most of it, ie: dirty, not polished...
some real gritty rock and roll on this one...
interesting to note that a year after The Beatles apparently inspired Charlie Manson
and Family with their "white album", The Stones are singing a song about "the boston strangler"
called "midnight rambler"...
apart from that track, which BTW, I absolutely love, it contains one of their best sing-a-long
tunes in "you cant always get what you want"...
love the "country honk" which is a country version of "honky tonk blues" and the cover of the
Robert Johnson tune "love in vain"
so, only one single released off this one, "live with me", which only ever charted in France, and
I rate it as the worst thing on here...
album was platinum or multi platinum just about everywhere as usual and to surprise you all....
