Finger picky music. This surprised me. I was expecting an album of rallying calls after opening with Gimme Shelter. It sounds like sessions or even outtake's. There's a great sax sound on Live With Me. Midnight Rambler doesn't half drag on, mind.
One of the more consistent Stones albums. Includes some of their best - notably Monkey Man, which I have always loved. It's the sleazy Stones doing what they do (did?) best. But the novelty of the country feel of this wears thin after a while. Any album that can open with Shelter and end with Can't Always Get has t be pretty good, but the middle is patchy.
