Along with "Some Girls" and "Let It Bleed" I would say that "Sticky Fingers" is in my top Stones albums. On Sticky Fingers the Stones laid down a personal album of weary- blues rock infused heavily with drug culture references. Songs like "Sister Morphine" and "Brownsuger" make obvious references to those nasty addicts and seems to fit the overall mood of the album.
This album is famous for having been recorded and written in multiple locations over a long period yet seems to be very consistent and well suited. Brian Jones dies in 1969 and was replaced by Mick Taylor who does a fantastic job on these recordings.
The laid back mood of the album is perfect for both Mick Taylor's guitar work and the heavy emotive voice of Mick Jagger. The last three songs on side two of "Sister Morphine," "Dead Flowers" and "Moon Light Mile," is an incredible sequence featuring Mick, Keith, Mick Talyor and Ry Cooder.
No "rock" is unturned on this album!
