Amazon.com essential recording

"Sister Morphine," the heart of guitarist Mick Taylor's first full studio album with the Stones, doesn't get the airplay of "Brown Sugar" or "Wild Horses." But it's one of the most vivid, horrifying songs about drug abuse ever recorded--as Mick Jagger sings "from my hospital bed," the ringing guitars of Taylor and Keith Richards build to full catharsis behind him. On that and lighter songs like the countryish "Dead Flowers" and the rocker "Bitch," Charlie Watts establishes himself as rock's prototypical drummer. He's creative and propulsive and knows how to swing, but he never overwhelms the song or the other Stones. --Steve Knopper

Amazon.com

Only a peak-of-their-powers Stones could manage to overshadow one of their very greatest albums by surrounding it in their studio chronology with Let It Bleed and Exile on Main St.. Sticky Fingers, however, is anything but an also-ran. Offering some of the band's most inspired twists on their basic approach--"Sway," the midtempo rocker that would sound orchestral even without Paul Buckmaster's climactic string arrangement; the gorgeous closer "Moonlight Mile"--this also rocks like the demon they had lived to face another day after Altamont. And, as if to prove their minds were still as dirty as their music, its keynote is "Brown Sugar." --Rickey Wright

Rock, blues, ballads.......2007-07-20

This landmark 1971 album gave the Stones a massive hit with Brown Sugar. Together with Bitch and the extended jam Can't You Hear Me Knocking it is one of three powerful rock songs while the rest of the album contain soulful, bluesy or country-tinged ballads.

These ballads are all rather dark and brooding, from the melancholy Wild Horses to the unoriginally titled but moving I Got the Blues and the chilling Sister Morphine, whilst Dead Flowers with its country flavor has poetic lyrics and an addictive tune.

The album concludes with the yearning Moonlight Mile, a final unforgettable track. This mix of melodious ballads and power rock make Sticky Fingers a masterpiece and one of that decade's top albums by the greatest rock band of all time.

A MASTERPIECE! ROCK, COUNTRY AND BLUES AT IT'S FINEST!.......2007-07-10

This is a classic album and is certainly in the top 100 ever made! My personal favorite cut is "Sway" I just love to hear Mick Taylor wailing away on his guitar until the fade out. Every cut is exceptional and there are a few hits on this album "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses" mainly and "Bitch",but this album goes much deeper than those obvious cuts with the classic country "Dead Flowers" and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" which rocks all the way to the jazz-like end! Every song is worth mentioning and this album should be in every music lovers collection.

"Wild Horses" should not keep you away from excellence!.......2007-06-02

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" I am often ask to review and talk about various rock recordings from the 60's and 70's.

The Rolling Stones Mick Taylor period is a treasure chest that never empties. Mick was the most advantageous choice for the group. His leads, fills, and general sound pushed the band to new heights.

"Sticky Fingers" runs with the smoothest of engines from start to finish. The tracks are incredible examples of the Stones diversity and ability to excel. While the casual fan will gravitate toward "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses", don't deprive yourself of one of the most underrated tunes ever "Sway." Mick Taylor has his patent of excellence all over the arrangement of "Can't You Hear Me knocking."

Often the word great is used to excess but in this case it doesn't do justice!

Mick Taylor we miss you. A shame you left.

Be well always,
Craig Fenton

Good Stones album..but the best?.......2007-04-19

"Sticky Fingers" isnt just a great Stones album, but a great classic rock album as well. The only thing that I have to debate about this album is that I dont think its the best Stones record. The honor would have to go to "Let it Bleed" Now, I am in no way comparing this to "Let it Bleed" because that just wouldn't be fair, since every song on "Let it Bleed" is excellent, which makes it an easy five star effort. The reason I give this only four stars is that is falls just a bit short from perfect. I feel when you are reviewing Stones albums from this time frame, that you have to be a little more judgemental, since the late 60's/ all 70's time frame was the best for the band. They even had some early 80's solid albums, but no where near the musical effort as the earlier stuff. "Sticky Fingers" seems to fall a bit short with "You gotta move", and "Dead Flowers" which in my opinion seem to be blues songs that are forced, instead of the blues infused "Sister Morphine" , and "Moonlight Mile" which the band seems to flow more gracefully. I am sure there will be some that love those songs, but I feel that they are just a bit overdone, and they just arent very solid songs, if that makes any sense. Its still a great record from the Stones, but I feel that it just isn't pefect, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be in everyone's CD collection. ENJOY!

why no remaster?.......2007-04-09

Their best album. And my favorite album of all. But one star goes away for not remastering this one as they have the CD's of the early years. Surely it is deserving.

Absolutely Bada** - "I'm just about a MOONLIGHT MI-HILE... ON DOWN THE ROAD!".......2007-07-27

The Stones are cool. I'm praying you knew that going in, but if you didn't, this could make you realize that. In my opinion, this is the best album the Rolling Stones ever recorded - and, like its follow-up Exile on Main Street, a flawless collection of songs. The ballads really lead the way here, with my favorite song on the album being the heartbreaking country-rock classic Wild Horses - anybody who believes Mick Jagger doesn't have soul will probably change their mind instantly as soon as they hear this. It's one of the fifty or so best songs ever recorded. So is Moonlight Mile, another ballad, this one an orchestrated epic augmented by Mick Taylor's melodic, wonderful acoustic guitar playing and That Other Rolling Stone Named Mick's thoughtful, poetic lyrics - I know this sounds like pure hyperbole here, but it really is a drama about death and redemption with a not-so-subtle drug reference tossed in for extra measure. Again, if you don't think Mick's got soul, listen to this track. The third out-and-out ballad is Sister Morphine, and while it isn't quite as good as Wild Horses or Moonlight Mile, that's all because those two songs are Wild Horses and Moonlight Mile, you know? A chilling tale of overdose coming from the Rolling Stones at arguably the height of their indulgences (though to be fair, they were ALWAYS indulgent when it came to drugs) propelled by Charlie Watts' drumming and guest star Ry Cooder's slide guitar. By the way, I'd like to give Ry a shout-out for his stellar playing on Love in Vain, too. Don't know a thing about his solo work, but now I'll have to check it out.
With all the ballads here, you may think the Stones have forgotten to rock. Oh no. Not at all. Rocking is not a problem for the group - the typical R&B influenced, typically sleazy, totally-not-PC Brown Sugar features an immortal riff and Bobby Keyes' best sax playing in the history of ever (okay, maybe Can't You Hear Me Knocking has that sax playing, but we'll get to that). The actually not sexist B*tch (if anything, that one's about booze and drugs) continues in that direction, and the horn section's playing is fantastic. So is Mick Taylor's. Mick Taylor rules, you know that? You can also catch one of his better guitar solos on Can't You Hear Me Knocking's Latin-jazz second half. Man, that part kicks butt! To think it only came about because someone left the tape running while Bobby Keyes was soloing after the song's hard-rock part ended (at least that's what I've heard). Well, it's one of their greatest moments, and if you need just one reason to buy this album (hell, you've got ten), buy it for the sax/guitar duel at the end. THAT is classic stuff. Anyway, let's get back to Taylor. Listen to Sway, which for some reason is not a radio favorite, if you want to hear that guy at the height of his powers. The guitar solos on that song... whoa.
Now there are three other songs, and each one is pretty different from the last. Dead Flowers one of the several undervalued gems you can find on this wonderful album, another one of their best country-rockers. Once again, it portrays drug addiction in a rather unflattering light (getting a little disillusioned with the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, are we Mick?) which I, a big supporter of the straight-edge life, have nothing but support for. More importantly, it's a great song with a catchy chorus and great piano fills and a fun pedal steel solo. I'm not a huge country fan, but I'm all for it when the Stones play country! Then there's the weird acoustic blues You Gotta Move (the album's lone cover), which I think is a pretty good song myself - especially the awesome "Ah-ha-ha-ha... ah-ha-ha-ha..." chant thingy near the end. A lot of people put the song down, and it does take some getting used to, and while I've heard a better, older version (not sure if it's Gary Davis' original or not, but it sounded good), this is quite a nice song in itself, and a good transition from side one to side two. I Got the Blues is another one people like to laugh at, but listen to Mick testify during the last ten or twenty seconds and tell me if that isn't pure soul. Oh, and the organ solo (played by none other than Mr. Billy Preston! R.I.P., man!) is amazing.
So yeah, there you go. Sticky Fingers is one of rock's all-time best albums - plenty of pure classics were put out in 1971, but this tops all of 'em. To the Stones, I say keep on rollin'! They haven't entered a truly stagnant period yet (though the '80s were pretty close), which is the sign of an immortal band.

Brooding ballads & buoyant rock.......2007-07-19

The theme of this somber 1971 album is drugs and the aural administration thereof takes place mostly via slow, soulful songs. The three up-tempo exceptions are the raucous Brown Sugar, the malevolent Bitch and the extended jamming excursion Can't You Hear Me Knocking, all prime slabs of powerful rock `n roll.

The down-tempo tracks all have an air of melancholia about them, from the world-weary Wild Horses to the unoriginally titled but moving I Got the Blues. The notorious Sister Morphine, also performed by Marianne Faithfull on albums like Blazing Away and Greatest Hits, is a decadent and chilling highlight.

The country-tinged Dead Flowers is another masterpiece with evocative imagery and addictive melody line and reminds me somewhat of Far Away Eyes on their Some Girls (1978) album. Sticky Fingers concludes with the yearning Moonlight Mile, a final unforgettable song. The blend of butt-kicking rock and brooding ballads ensure a perfect Stones album.

I'm No Schoolgirl, but I Know What I Like.......2006-06-11

Mick Taylor's haunting guitar can be heard throughout this record. The guitar marriage between him and Keith was, without a doubt, a match made in heaven. The two just knew how to drive a song, well ten songs in this case. And if these guys are driving the car, Mick Jaggar is riding shotgun, mike in hand, singing his heart out, and steadily beating his pound tattoo to keep the guitars in time is none other than that drummer extrodinaire Charlie Watts. Let's face it, the bass is good too, can't forget Bill. Can't forget the host of guest musicians either who make up this stew. Do you think they all knew back then what they were about? What they were creating? Certainly they knew "Brown Sugar" would raise some eyebrows. And they had to know mommies and daddies were gonna be furious about "Sister Morphine." Still, this record overcame it all. Just about every rock publication on earth has declared this record to be one of the best ever made. It is.

Get You Grooving.......2006-06-11

The Rolling Stones' "Sticky Fingers" is certainly one of the greatest rock and roll records to come out of the Boomer Generation, actually it's one of the best records to come out of any generation. Somewhere along the line the boys in the band got transformed from the bad boys of rock and roll into some mighty fine musicians. Well, they were still, and still are, I suppose, the bad boys of rock. A listen to this record will tell you that. I mean could anybody but the Stones have gotten away with "Brown Sugar" and "Sister Morphine?" So, let's agree, they were still the bad boys. I guess it's possible to be a rocker and to not be so good (just kidding), but all kidding aside, this is a record that will rip you right out of your seat, get you dancing, get you rocking, get you thinking, get you grooving.

A Rolling Stones Masterpiece.......2006-06-11

"Sticky Fingers from start to finish is nothing short of masterful. It just flows. And it does it without bowing or kowtowing to anybody. "Brown Sugar" must have blown a lot of minds back in the day. And "Sister Morphine," wowza, I'm surprised the holier than though folks who want to control everything we see and hear weren't out publicly melting these records down. But maybe they couldn't, maybe they were too mesmerized by Mick Taylor's knock down drag out guitar playing. Or maybe Bobby Keys sax warned them away. Or maybe they were just afraid of street fighting men, whatever. Actually this record apparently did tick off Franco. You know the guy who ran Spain, because when it came out there, "Sister Morphine" was replaced with "Let it Rock" and that totally glorious Andy Warhol zipper cover was replaced with a photo of the band. I guess Franco thought it obscene, which is strange coming from a man who every thinking person on the planet found obscene. Anyway, you won't find it obscene, not if you've got heart.

Obscure Canadian Act.......2002-03-24

Sticky Fingers is a Toronto studio act identical to the better known group THP Orchestra. Same players, vocalists, and producers. It is also closely related to the group Southern Exposure-- only the vocalists differ. This album was originally released in 1978 and features the Duncan Sisters on vocals. Despite the cheesy cover photo (a trademark of the projects coming out of Three Hats Productions), this album is the strongest of all of these acts. The songwriting is more polished, the arrangements more sophisticated, the singing more soulful. The sisters Duncan acquit themselves very well, with choral-style vocal arrangements. The project feels remarkably like soulful New York disco. Although the Rose Royce-esque "Party Song" was the track that made a small dent on the Disco Top 40 charts, "Wastin' My Love" and "Takin' A Chance" are even better, bringing to mind the group Change with a bit more attitude. Definitely recommended for fans of disco and dance music.

This is the third record of the five Stones records produced by Jimmy Miller, five records that in my opinion are the five best all time Stones recoring. Sadly, I can't rate them one through five, because they are all so outstanding. The ten songs on "Sticky Fingers" show off all the abilities of the band, from the bluesy "I've Got the Blues" and "You Gotta Move," to the rockers "Bitch" and the wonderfully, politically incorrect "Brown Sugar" and on to the countrified "Wild Horses" and "Dead Flowers," there is nothing but excellence exhibited here. Not only the Stones, but the guest musicians as well, excel far beyond the abilities of normal musicians. Ry Cooder's work is so chilling on "Sister Morphine" that it takes your breath away. Bobby Keys sax on "Brown Sugar" rips right into your soul. This is certainly one of the best and finest records ever made.
