THE ROLLING STONES

 ‘Sticky Fingers’

Description:  1971 UK Pressed Lp Housed In A Toploading Workable Steel Zip Cover (Square Fob)

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" (A Gleeful Tune About Slavery, Interracial Sex, And Lost Virginity, Not Necessarily In That Order), 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 Nonironic 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: Sad, Yearning, Drug-Addled, And Beautiful. With Its Offhand Mixture Of Decadence, Roots Music, And Outright Malevolence, Sticky Fingers Set The Tone For The Rest Of The Decade For The Stones. …..AMG Review.
