Album Notes The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals); Keith Richards, Mick Taylor (guitar, background vocals); Bill Wyman (bass); Charlie Watts (drums).Additional personnel: Ry Cooder (slide guitar); Paul Buckmaster (strings); Bobby Keys (saxophone); Jim Price (trumpet); Nicky Hopkins, Ian Stewart, Jim Dickinson, Jack Nitzche (piano); Billy Preston (organ); Rocky Dijon (congas); Jimmy Miller (percussion).Engineers include: Andy Johns, Jimmy Johnson, Glyn Johns.Recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, Muscle Shoals, Alabama and Olympic Studios, London, England.Digitally remastered by Bob Ludwig (Gateway Sound Studios).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's breakup with the emotionally troubled Marianne Faithfull, to Keith'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's as if Keith'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.

Reviews Review created: 05/05/08 by: From the innovative album cover, right through the track listing, it is a seminal work. At a time when the Beatles were disintegrating, the Stones, between 1968 - 1971, produced the finest collection of rock music of any era, culminating in 'Sticky Fingers', a fusion of lyrical pop/rock, and their blues & r'n'b roots. Although they are still the most in demand band in the world, this album was probably the peak of their powers. Review ID: 10000000006990222 Was this review helpful?

It does of course contain the massive, all time party favourite, 'Brown Sugar' but the album is far more cohesive that just a bunch of songs hanging on to the glitter from that one track. It's an immensely listenable album. Raw, passionate, and compelling. If you're reading this review it can only be because you haven't heard the album. I could go on - trust me - you won't be disappointed............... Unless, that is, your musical tastes lie in the remit of James Last or Dame Kiri Takanawa.
