These lovely titles are a small part of a recent collection that I will be listing over the next few months. Some extremely rare and wonderful titles amongst them...

Pieced together 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 well over half the songs explicitly mention drug use, while the others merely allude to it  that never fades away, but it barely keeps afloat. Apart from the classic opener, "Brown Sugar" the long workout "Can't You Hear Me 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 although that is terrific it's the utter weariness of the songs. "Wild Horses" is their first non-ironic stab at a country song, and it is a beautiful, heart-tugging masterpiece. Similarly, "I Got the Blues" is a ravished, late-night classic that ranks among their very best blues. "Sister Morphine" is a horrifying overdose tale, and "Moonlight Mile," with Paul Buckmaster's grandiose strings, is a perfect closure.  

Tracks: 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.
