    Mick Taylor, a virtuoso blues and rock lead guitarist was the best player the Stones ever had on lead guitar IMO Mick Jagger - lead vocal (all tracks), backing vocals (2-5, 9), acoustic guitar (9, 10), castanets (1), maracas (1), electric guitar (2), percussion (3)
    Keith Richards - electric guitar (1, 3-7, 9), acoustic guitar (1, 3, 5, 8, 9), backing vocals (1-7, 9)
    Mick Taylor - electric guitar (1, 2, 4-7, 9, 10), acoustic guitar (3)
    Bill Wyman - bass guitar (all but 5), electric piano (5)
    Charlie Watts - drums (all tracks)

    Many years ago I was a teenager stuck in a basement (figuratively) at a family friend's house, typical teenage decor musty couches, beat up furniture etc., and only two albums (sigh) I can remember. Cheech and Chongs Wedding Album and Sticky Fingers. Was not a big Stones fan, the only song I knew was "Brown Sugar" which is very good but at the time very overplayed. I reluctantly put the album on and my jaw dropped. The closing Moonlight Mile might be the most beautiful rock song ever. The whole album is stunningly good. Desert Island wish list!

    This album was part of a series of Stones albums that helped define classic two-guitar blues rock. The other two are Let It Bleed and Beggar's Banquet. I'd strongly recommend you listen and hopefully 🙏 react to both of them and to the live album that capped off the best of their work imo, Get Yer Ya Yas Out. Some of the best of the classic rock era.

    One thing I remember about this album is that the vinyl LPs had an actual zipper on the front of the sleeve.

It’s such a good album.

    Keith did some great work on this album, but he was also 'indisposed' for some of the sessions. Mick Taylor worked with Mick Jagger on Moonlight Mile and Sway. Mick Taylor was shocked when the album was released and he got no composing credits, after Jagger had promised he would get them (according to Taylor). That was the beginning of the end of his time with the Stones.

    Watched both installments of your "Sticky Fingers" breakdown. Just had to say: you remind me of myself, listening to these albums as a teenager. Mick and Keith are a formidable songwriting duo. They (Keith, especially) had a real ear for arranging songs, too. All those subtle musical things (Bobby Keys' sax, the piano, Mick Taylor's tasteful fills) really add up to make beautiful recordings.
    Always happy to see someone discover the brilliance of the Stones. Their public image kind of overshadows their genius as serious writers/musicians. "Sticky Fingers" may be their most complete, flawless album. "Sway," "Dead Flowers" and "Moonlight Mile" are my favorites, but there's not a bad song on here. Keep rockin'!

From rock'n'roll, to pure blues, to pure country, to that ending with Moonlight Mile (yes, they are real strings, not a keyboard, keyboards didn't exist then except in experiments. The Stones ALWAYS played live in the Studio with real players, and still do today)..., just amazing. The songs themselves (covered by so many others since), the performances/musicianship, the topics. Rock and Roll perfection. I loved the little bits you picked out in each track -- yep, all those brief, perfect, musical touches. This one will stick with you!!!

    You picked a great record to start with, Verdy. Between 68-72, the Stones were at their peak. I'm not sure another musician/group had a better four-year stretch in that period. And that's really saying something when you consider the embarrassment of riches in every genre of music during those years. Prior to '68, the Stones were more of a singles band in my opinion (an amazing singles band to be sure, but not producing consistent albums). And the years after '72 were a frustrating series of peaks and valleys. But for those four years the Stones could match artistic wits with anybody.

    I absolutely adore every song on this album , but my personal pick is "Can't You Hear Me Knocking'" , because to me it gets transcendental (Well Moonlight Mile does too!). All are A plus, however. My personal favorite RS album ever.

    Bitch is such an awesome song.
    The highlights are definitely the bass and the trumpets (as well as the guitar solo in the end). Very upbeat, very cool.
    I've got the blues is a somewhat sappy blues ballad complete with a soaring organ. very nice song.
    Sister morphine was written in 1968 by Jagger, Richards and Marianne Faithfull.
    It was released by Faithfull in early 1969 as the B-side of her single 'Something Better'.
    Her version has more a folk vibe and is more brooding.
    The version of the Rolling Stones is more haunting, especially with the outbursts of Piano and the slide guitar.
    Dead Flowers about getting back at a lover that left you is definitely country influenced and is such a nice singalong song and the album concludes by the majestic Moonlight Mile, complete with an accompaining orchestra.
    As I said in my review of the first side, Sticky Fingers might be The Rolling Stones more consistently strong album and their most representative of their sound and style.
    That's why it is the perfect album to introduce someone to the Stones.
    Their albums Beggar's Banquet (1968), Let it Bleed (1969 and having my favorite Stones song Gimme Shelter), their live Get Yer Ya-Ya's out (1970), Sticky Fingers (1971) and Exile on Main St. (1972) make an uninterrupted string of first rate albums that had been rarely equalled in Rock music.

    The 1968-72 Stones were the best rock and roll band ever. The orchestral arrangement on Moonlight Mile is actual violins, by the way. This was a little before synthesizers could actually imitate string instruments.

    It was truly beautiful watching you hear this album for the first time.
    I grew up listening to the Stones and still listen to them today.
    From 1963-1983 they put out Fantastic Music. Even later albums have great moments, but those 20 years were fantastic.
    It’s good to know that younger kids will be listening to them for decades to come.

    Verdy I love 70's Stones I feel this is when they were at their best very diverse and always with that bluesy rhythm. Knowing your love of 80's music from your recent live stream I want to recommend you listen to what Rolling Stone magazine called the album of the 80's The Joshua Tree by U2 a masterpiece from beginning to end

      @@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Well most reaction channel requesters request the popular songs like Thunderstruck, Back in Black, Smoke on the Water, Stairway to Heaven, Iron Man, Crazy Train, and the like. Same old songs all the time. I try to request obscure songs, like Love in Vain by The Rolling Stones, or Let's Work Together by Canned Heat, or Train Train by Blackfoot, and just songs like that. Songs you don't here hardly ever, but they're amazing songs.

    As a kid, this was my first really subversive rock album. I mean, a song called Bitch? A song called Sister MORPHINE?? It was actually a little wild for me, but I sure grew to love it. All these years later I still listen to it regularly. It was great seeing your reaction to all that the Stones were capable of besides the 2 minute 50 second singles that they were also very good at.

    Do a deep dive on Paul Buckmaster. He arranged strings for a lot of classic rock in the 1970's. He did them here and on a few Elton John albums and for Carly Simon (and a lot more). Very recognizable additions to many great songs.

  • @michaeldavid6284
    @michaeldavid6284 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The horns on "Bitch" are Bobby Keys (sax) and Jim Price (trumpet). You must not have the liner notes that came with the vinyl and CD copies of the album. They list the musicians and instruments played on each track. I'm sure there are more than a few websites that list this info on all Rolling Stones tracks. That's one disadvantage to the access of a virtual album instead of a physical hard copy.

    Nothing too original for me to add. What you heard before: "Satisfaction" and "Under My Thumb" are classics, but for me, the true greatness of the Stones are displayed on this album, Satanic Majesty's, Let It Bleed and Exile on Main St. Nice to see someone young with open ears appreciate this. Love the way you say your 2 favorite expressions: "Whew!" and "Come On!"

    So good on so many levels. Variety, originality, layers of instruments, the passion in every song, so many feelings evoked, quality of musicians etc. First heard this on a school tour in Surgeres, France in 1971. Some renegade hippie minder treated us to a session when the accompanying teachers went off for the evening (we were safer with the hippie). Great accoustics in the dorm. Love every song but would especially mention Sway, Wild Horses, Can you hear me knocking, Bi### and the amazing Moonlight Mile.

    This album is a great example of how tasteful the Stones could be with their ballads. I think they hit their musical peak at this point. The only other album that they made that has a similar consistent quality to SF is Beggar's Banquet. After SF there was a slow decline in album quality, more noticeable once Mick Taylor left.

    The Rolling Stones are definitely a group worth exploring. They cross over so many genres. Some songs really worth exploring are: "Paint it Black", Can't Get No Satisfaction", "Get off of my Cloud", "As Tears Go By", "Ruby Tuesday", "Start Me Up", "Miss You", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Honkey Tonk Woman" and that's just the beginning of some of their mega hits. Have fun exploring!
