Sounding subdued, or at least more wary than most Stones albums, STICKY FINGERS' 1971 release betrayed the difficulties the band members were enduring. From Mick Jagger's breakup with the emotionally troubled Marianne Faithfull, to Keith Richards's concern about his newborn son Marlon, the band found themselves re-evaluating their lives, and this depth of emotion made its way into the album. Be it in the terrifyingly spare "Sister Morphine" and "Moonlight Mile," or the near-dangerous, electrified "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," the songs on STICKY FINGERS are anything but innocent. The lineup on this album solidified with Mick Taylor in place as a second guitarist. Recorded partially in the legendary Muscle Shoals studio in Alabama, the Stones were flirting with the blues, but adding a Southern soul flavor. Much of STICKY FINGERS is this tasteful mixture of blues and soul. Added to the brew are the spicy horn arrangements of saxophonist Bobby Keys and trumpet player Jim Price. The use of horns in the Stones' repertoire seemed inevitable--when they kick in during "Brown Sugar" and "Bitch," it is as if Richards's guitar is rebirthed in brass. STICKY FINGERS proved that the endless summer of the 1960s was over, but that the Stones would rock just as hard in the following decade.

Report this review One of Stone's Best AlbumsReview created: 11/29/06 by: My favorite Stones album has been Exile On Main Street for a while. After listening to this one, I'm not so sure. That one is a great collection with every song being good, and with it's length, I still have to give Exile the slight edge. That being said, this is right up there with that album. The only difference is that this one has some of the Stone's best songs ever, including some that are ignored on their greatest hits collections. Sure this one has great standards like Brown Sugar and Wild Horses, but 2 songs that are usually ignored on best ofs are Can't You Hear Me Knocking and the underrated Bitch. Those two songs deserve the notoriety that goes with their best songs ever. Knocking is an excellent song through and through including a cool instrumental outro that'll drive you nuts for days because you can't get the cool riffs out of your head. Same with Bitch's main riff. Bitch just plain rocks. The rest of the album is pretty good. Sway, You Gotta Move, Sister Morphine, Moonlight Mile, and I Got The Blues are all better than average songs, and Dead Flowers is a cool song that's crossed between Creedence and Bob Dylan. With little or no filler, Sticky Fingers has what it takes to be one of the best albums of all time. It has great songs and shows once again why Jagger and Richards are one of the best songwriting combos ever. I slightly prefer Exile over this one, if for nothing else, it's album length. But how can you argue with any of their tunes on this one? Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, and Bitch are four of their best songs. So this one should definitely be in anyone's collection, whether you're a die hard or casual fan. Even if you have 40 Licks (by far their best Greatest Hits compilation), this one should be in your collection because of the omissions of Knocking and Bitch on that double album.
