Album Notes
The Rolling Stones: Keith Richards (vocals, guitar); Mick Jagger (vocals); Brian Jones (guitar); Bill Wyman (bass); Charlie Watts (drums). Recorded at Olympic Studios, London, England.Retreating from the psychedelia of THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST, the Stones released the roots-rock single "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and then the album BEGGAR'S BANQUET. It was hailed as a rock masterpiece, and remains the favorite of many Stones fans.BEGGAR'S BANQUET played to the Stones' strengths. The ironic lead-off ("Sympathy For The Devil") led many rock-baiters to conclude that singer Mick Jagger actually was the devil, or at least a satanic follower. Many of the other tracks, particularly the hit "Street Fighting Man," highlighted the solid rhythm section interplay of Wyman and Watts, while Jones contributed a typically down-home slide guitar part to "No Expectations," and the writing team of Richards and Jagger summoned up images of their deep blues roots.

The cover version of 'Prodigal Son' has the line 'My son was lost but now he is found'. This could apply to the Stones' music after the patchy 'Their Satanic Majesties Request' LP from 1967. Between that and 'Beggars Banquet' of the following year Jagger read a book, Richards got a free guitar lesson and Nicky Hopkins became the 'fifth' Stone providing soul and counter-point on piano. This release anticipates the next three studio albums 'Let it Bleed, 'Sticky Fingers' and 'Exile on Main Street'. It still sounds fresh, dangerous and rude yet at the same time the most emotional of all the Stones' albums.
9 out of 10
