Music reviews of Let It Bleed [DSD]
Music Review: an outstanding "essential recording"
Rating: 5 Stars
Let It Bleed is indeed an excellent album by The Rolling Stones. This is one of their better ones despite the troubles they encountered during the recording sessions. Their music reflects good judgment and it has a distinctive sound to it that all emerging rock musicians should study. The quality of the sound on this album is nothing short of excellent; and that artwork is very well done. Awesome!
The album starts off with one of their biggest hits, "Gimme Shelter." "Gimme Shelter" is electrifying; they never let go of a bad note. Mick Jagger and Mary Clayton belt this out with heart, soul and all their might. I love it--talk about apocalyptic! The guitar work is faultless and the band's music goes perfectly with the vocals to this tune. The melody itself is instantly memorable. "Gimme Shelter" is more than worth the price of admission alone! In addition, "Love In Vain" has Mick performing this cover of a Robert Johnson tune with the band plays the music as only The Stones could play! "Love In Vain" is particularly memorable for its bluesy feel; the vocals, the changes between major and minor keys and that guitar work all do an excellent job of conveying all the nuances of the lyrics to this ballad.
"Country Honk" is one of the last real country songs The Stones ever did; they turned out this well done tune with terrific guitar and string work as Mick sings it to perfection. Mick sings of a man who wants a woman who has left him as he laments that fact that "it's the honky tonk women... (who give him) the honky tonk blues." "Country Honk" is also a countrified version of their previous tune called "Honky Tonk Woman." "Live With Me" has a fine rock and roll flavor to it and that piano is totally amazing! "Live With Me" is very strong; and I also like the title track, "Let It Bleed." "Let It Bleed" has a country/bluesy flavor to it that no other rock band could ever truly replicate; The Rolling Stones were and remain all THAT good. "Let It Bleed" is easily a major highlight of this album. A friend of mine pointed out to me that "Let It Bleed" was a thinly veiled reference to The Beatles' album Let It Be; the two bands often competed with each other for attention and sales. Such is life!
"Midnight Rambler" has an excellent arrangement; and "You Got The Silver" has some incredible lead vocals by Keith Richards--wow, how they do this number well! That guitar work shines. "Monkey Man" rocks really hard and it has a great sound to it that I really like to hear. At the very ends, the album closes with the powerful, impressive and even somewhat larger-than-life ballad, "You Can't Always Get What You Want." "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was The Stones answer to The Beatles tune called "Hey Jude;" they perform this with The London Bach Choir. In addition, for "You Can't Always Get What You Want," Jimmy Miller plays drums and Al Kooper plays that incredible French Horn!
Overall, Let It Bleed deserves to be an Amazon "essential recording." The Stones never falter here and I love each and every song on the album. It's clearly a "must-have" for Stones fans and it makes a fine starter CD for people just getting into The Rolling Stones. Rock almost never gets any better than this.
Description of Let It Bleed [DSD]
Rolling Stones Photos
 |  |  |
One of the Stones' most beloved albums, 1969's Let It Bleed was a benchmark for several reasons. First, founding guitarist Brian Jones died during the recording process. Second, the Stones take their last significant look at pure blues (Robert Johnson's spooky "Love in Vain") and country ("Country Honk," the two-stepping alter ego of "Honky-Tonk Women") before folding both styles into a cohesive rock & roll vision. Third, it contains some of the band's most eerie hits, such as the flame-enveloped "Gimme Shelter," the drug-reality anthem "Monkey Man," the epic "You Can't Always Get What You Want," and Mick Jagger's menacing "Midnight Rambler." --Steve Knopper
