Album Notes After bum-rushing the '80s with EMOTIONAL RESCUE, the Stones released TATTOO YOU, the second half of a potent one-two album punch that showed the band asserting themselves as they entered their third decade of music-making. Essentially made up of songs dating as far back as 1972 sessions for GOATS HEAD SOUP, the Stones' 1981 release is still a potent slab of swagger and sass. "Hang Fire" is a tight two-minute and twenty second redefinition of surf music, and "Start Me Up" is classic Stones, replete with Jagger's sexual braggadocio and Keith's patented "Honky Tonk Women"-style riffs. The bluesy shuffle that is "Black Limousine" is only surpassed by the cocky "Little T & A," sung by an endearingly raspy Keith Richards. Most impressive on TATTOO YOU is the wistful "Waiting On A Friend," featuring jazz giant Sonny Rollins wailing away on his saxophone as the song fades out.

Top Reviews  LOVE IT! 3 of 5 people found this review helpful. I love this one because I can remember the tour with Mick riding on a CHERRY PICKER around the Stadium in Chicago! I think it was a brilliant tour and I can still JAM to Emotional Rescue! Review ID: 10000000001871492 Was this review helpful? Report this review Reviews Tattoo You-Rolling Stones CD NewReview created: 06/17/08 by: Has some of the best stuff done by the Stones. Only 11 cuts, but these are hard driving classic rock and roll. Some are very mello, like Waiting on a Friend. Nice graphics on the jewel case. Review ID: 10000000007622327 Was this review helpful?

Report this review  From Days long goneIt's the classic Stones, what's not to like about it. It brings back the good ol days, when life was less stressful! Even my 12-11 year old like it. I decided to buy it to add to my collection of the old classic rock. Review ID: 10000000002446927 Was this review helpful? Report this review Tattoo This To MemoryReview created: 11/16/06(updated 11/16/06) by: Do the Stones have a bad album? This is the closest they get to one and it's still better than most band's greatest hits. Start Me Up is an anthem, Black Limousine rocks, Hang Fire is a catchy 80's thing, Slave is a bluesy number with a cool rythem, Neighbors is a bunch of yelling until the chorus kicks in, and there a couple of nice ballads in Tops and No Use In Crying, as well as the classic Waiting On A Friend. There is some strange stuff on this album, though. Little T & A is weird, as are Worried About You and Heaven which kind of sound like they had been done by Prince instead of the Stones. I thought this was one of the worst albums I had ever heard after hearing it. But I listened to it a couple more times and realized that it wasn't bad. It was just a different direction the Stones took on this album. I don't know how many times I've listened to one of their albums and was either disappointed or didn't really think too much the first time through. Then I listen to it again, and I'm like whoa. Where'd they come up with this genius? Even the weird songs kind of grow on you. I found myself humming the chorus of Little T & A going "I thought I hated that song". Guess I changed my mind. Same thing happened the first time I listened to Exile on Main Street, although not to the same degree. I didn't like it as much until I listened to it like three times. Now it's one of my all time favorite albums. I wouldn't go as far as to say that about Tattoo. But it's an album that shows a lot of variety and good musicianship. After a few listens, even the weird ones are pretty cool. Just like the Stones. Review ID: 10000000002359567 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
