My Personal Favorite from the Stones
But where else can you find the raw raunch of a live Route 66 (better than studio version) and then find gems like the wistful Singer Not The Song or Blue Turns to Grey. Its not a cohesive album, just a collection of songs. Some sure fire hits but also some cool covers and some cool songs they probably wrote for other people but covered themselves. I like just about everything on here and so will you. Experiments with tremolo, harmony, harmonica. This album touches it all (blues, pop, rock, ballad and coolness). I am probably being wistful in the recommendation but so be it. .


Husband really liked this CD -- two thumbs up!
And when he saw this while perusing on the Amazon website, he just had to have it. First off, I am not a Rolling Stones fan--but my husband is. I think he was really happy with it--brought back lots of memories. He definitely recommends it.


Brian Jone's Stones
Brian's presence, his pose, and his panche added so much to this group before Mick and Keith took it to another level. I fell in love with the Stones' music listening to this LP at about 12 years of age. But it's not Mick and Keith's fault Brian burned out. I love the ballads and the covers, Charlie's drums, Stu's piano, Bill's bass, Keith and Brian playing off each other, and of course, Mick's harp and heartfelt vocals. The songs reflect a young ansgst the Stones outgrew. The live recordings propel the collection forward. That I still listen to this LP 40 years later shows how strong my love is. 40 years! That's how strong my love is, 40 years later, still cruising on Route 66. .


Some classic Rolling Stones' moments
The second thing is that the center of this work is "Get Off of My Cloud. The first thing that strikes me as I look at the cover is how young the Stones looked back in the mid-1960s! It's amazing how well they have maintained their level of performance even as their faces now show their age. " It was playing so widely that, in the middle of my first year living in a dorm at Bradley University, all sorts of variations on the song took place. I remember one of my floor mates, for example, telling someone "Hey, hey, you, you, Get out of my room. " And everyone chuckled, knowing that Jim was riffing from this song.

This CD/album has no thematic coherence. It is a set of songs, most recorded in the studio plus a bit of live music, some covers, and some original Stones' tunes. Still, it's nice to revisit the raw energy and raw playing of the young Rolling Stones.

The CD starts off with a cover of Chuck Berry's "Talkin' about You. " They do a good job here, and display a strong blues flavor to their playing and to Mick Jagger's singing. A nice start to this CD.

The Stones began their career as a group focusing on the blues. One of the most important bluesmen of that (or any other) time was, of course, Muddy Waters. "Look What You're Done" shows the Stones up to playing a song by one of the masters of the genre.

And then, "Route 66," a live version. Sound quality muddies what I hear when I listen; the sometimes shouting by the audience drowns things out. But I can tell that the Stones are playing energetically and Jagger's singing is fine.

And, of course, "Get Off of My Cloud," one of their great songs. One characteristic is a whole series of interesting lines with some cool wording. One illustration: "In flies a guy all dressed up just like a Union Jack. " The song begins with a great riff; the drumming chugs right along.

Another classic, "I'm Free. " A pair of lines speak to me.

"I'm free to do what I want any old time. . .
I'm free to sing my song though it gets out of time. "

The latter line reminds one that sometimes in their early works, the playing gets a little ragged. But that somehow worked, showing off their energy and even some spontaneity.

There are some other interesting works, too, although I have never much enjoyed "As Tears Go By. "

Anyhow, not a cohesive album, but I don't really care. There are some top-notch early Rolling Stones' moments throughout this CD, with lots of raw energy.
