Album Notes The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals, guitar, harmonica, piano); Keith Richards, Mick Taylor (guitar, bass, background vocals); Bill Wyman (bass); Charlie Watts (drums). Additional personnel: Jim Horn (flute, alto saxophone); Bobby Keys (tenor & baritone saxophones); Chuck Finley (trumpet); Ian Stewart, Nicky Hopkins (piano); Billy Preston (keyboards); Pascal, Rebop, Jimmy Miller (percussion). Recorded at Dynamic Sound Studios, Kingston, Jamaica. The limited edition of GOATS HEAD SOUP contains all the original artwork from the LP release and is packaged in a slipcase. Following the enormous success of EXILE ON MAIN STREET, GOATS HEAD SOUP found the Rolling Stones jetting down to Jamaica in 1973 and tweaking their rebellious image with a bit of voodoo imagery. Kicking things off with "Dancing With Mr. D.," the Stones picked up the thread of "Sympathy For The Devil" and gilded their already hedonistic reputation with some Satanic allusions. References to Beezelbub aside, SOUP offered up some of the Stones' more heartfelt ballads including "Winter," "Coming Down Again," and the lilting, minor-key classic "Angie." Of course, being known as "The World's Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band" means a number of songs more than back up this moniker. Among them are "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)," propelled by Mick Taylor's wah-wah pedal and Billy Preston's electric piano, and the twang and slide guitar of "Silver Train." There's an abundance of cheeky attitude here despite a slew of slow songs, and the Stones close out with a nasty, backhanded tribute to groupies called "Star Star." Though GOAT'S HEAD SOUP does not hold up to the four studio masterpieces that preceded it (BEGGAR'S BANQUET, LET IT BLEED, STICKY FINGERS, and EXILE ON MAIN STREET), it is still full of strong songwriting, great playing, and plenty of classic Stonesy swagger.

Reviews  Hm Hm Good. Good SoupReview created: 11/29/06 by:  I popped this album in and liked it immediately. 100 Years Ago and Heartbreaker hit me immediately as cool tunes that can't be missing from any die hard Stones fan. They rock pretty hard, especially the latter, and even casual fans will love them. Of course, Angie has been one of their classic ballads since the album was released, and for good reason. It's a nice well written heartfelt song. Silver Train is a nice tune played with an Allman Brother's cool Southern sound. Hide Your Love is a bluesy piano driven song, with a cool guitar solo. Winter is a nice ballad that shows that the Stones can write a ballad that isn't a love song. Can You Hear The Music is an eerie tune that keeps you listening. They end the album strong with Star Star, a Chuck Berry-like tune that rocks with it's bluesy guitar driven chorus. Is this up there with their best albums? No. But it just shows a different side of the Stones that make them one of the best bands ever. If another band had come out with this, it'd probably be their best album. With the Stones, the bar is set so high that it can't compete with the likes of Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street. But who cares? It's still an excellent album with a good song selection. I've read reviews that cut this album down, saying that this foretells the Stones demise. What do they know? This just shows how a group grows and their songwriting changes. It's not bad, it's just different. They just go in a little different direction on this album, and they give you Goats Head Soup, which by the way has a lot of good songwriting and tasteful licks, Heartbreaker being a great example of this. Goats Head Soup is the soup that eats like a meal (Sorry for the corny theft from Chunky Soup, but it's fitting given the title of the album). Review ID: 10000000002395126 Was this review helpful?
