I honestly think that the Stones do country music better than most country artists. The way they blend country and blues is almost unmatched in rock 'n' roll. BEGGARS BANQUET is simply one of the greatest albums every recorded and the last Stones album to feature founder Brian Jones. He does appear on 2 songs on the next album, LET IT BLEED, but on this one he hadn't yet fallen into the abyss.

but Brian Jones' work was in decline compared to what was done in Aftermath, Between The Buttons, Their Satanic
@davescurry6910 ай бұрын
@akato6000 Agreed, but his contributions on BEGGARS BANQUET were still valuable. His slide guitar on "No Expectations", mellotron on "Jigsaw Puzzle", sitar on "Street Fighting Man", plus his typically brilliant harmonica playing on 3 tracks (one of which is criminally buried in the mix). Whereas the 2 tracks on LET IT BLEED that he was a part of...let's just say the percussion and auto harp parts he put down could have been played by anyone.

Prodigal Son is a cover by Rev Robert Wilkins--but as always the Stones elevate old blues songs to a whole new level.
@roberttompkins6489 Жыл бұрын
If the Stones had disbanded prior to Beggar's Banquet they would be ranked still as one of the most influential and greatest bands in history--however, starting with this album they reached even further greatness that would continue for a string of later albums. A feat that really is unparalleled in rock history.

Fantastic to revisit this massively propulsive album. I was major fan since their inception into the North American market around 1964. This album was like a Cape Canaveral launch into the stratosphere and beyond. Thank you so much for featuring this album. Beautiful work. A couple of years before this album was released, a progressive LA band called LOVE put out their first album. They had their 2nd and third albums in 67 and 68. One of the most brilliant musical trilogies ever created, influencing Jimi Hendrix and The Doors. Their third record, Forever Changes, was one of the greatest albums of the 20th century, although largely unknown. Also LOVE was one of the first groups with both black and white musicians, lead by the incomparable Arthur Lee.

Their regular bassist Bill Wyman on bass, before he quit in 1993. Nicky Hopkins on piano. Brian Jones on side guitar. This is one of my favorite albums. Recorded at Olympic Studios in London, then at Sunset Sound in L.A. I normally don't like lyric videos either, but this one is very cool imo. Brian was a heavy drinker as well, which added to his problems. btw, sitar rhymes with guitar. A critic called it "mediocre?" Uh, no, it's an awesome album, idiot. Glad you liked it, Wayne.

Who played Bass on Sympathy for the Devil? Oddly, it wasn't Bill Wyman. Keith Richards played Bass on this and a couple of other songs on this album. Sympathy isn't about the "Devil". It's about the evil in humans.

To me, no band could do blues/country blues more authentically than the Stones. I think the Stones pretty much outdid Dylan and the Beatles during this time. Plus, they were a better live band than most of their contemporaries. Maybe, not the Who, Jimi Hendrix, Quick Silver, or the MC5 and few others at that time period. Great choice for a review! Thanks!🎵🎶🎸💯👍

At this time, the Stones were one of the most critically hated bands with the music journalists of this time. But that's exactly what made them so interesting to the (then) young listeners. I think those critics never took the time to really listen to them and the fans appreciated that the 'Stones' spoke the same language as the youth like them. Best wishes @all from hamburg (germany)

It bothers me people don't include "Goats Head Soup" and "It's Only Rock and Roll" as the 6 back to back great albums. (well for me it's 10 great back to back albums from 1968 to 1981) I believe it's because the Rock critics of the day earmarked those as the beginning of their decline for whatever reason. My best bet it had to do with how old the Music Critics were at that particular time period and the stage of life they were just coming out of. Maybe the best of their youth was very recently behind them and they were already looking at the few years prior with rose colored glasses. But especially It's Only Rock and Roll. It's so not a lesser outing whatsover. And the fact that it is known as the worst of that era for them is laughable to me. Both albums represent the feel and the times of that period the way I remember it (and I'm an Exile man). But the music is still so head shakingly good and its more than clear to me that the vibes are as in tact as the 4 albums prior. And if you weren't a rock critic at the time I highly doubt anyone actually felt a decline unless they read those reviews. And listening to those 2 albums today brings it home even more of how special a time it was to make music and that the Stones were at their peak in 74 as much as they were in 72, in the thick of it still making great music (a very long peak). The Stones probably believed the Rock Critics' narrative too. I truly believe Critics of the day put that in our ear and it stuck no matter if was true or not. To this day. Oh and yeah it's not true. 😊. The proof is in the pudding if you go into it with fresh ears.
