Amazon.com essential recording

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

One of the Stones' finest!.......2007-07-04

A bit of rock, a bit of blues, a bit of soul, a bit of raunch... just what you need to make a classic Rolling Stones album! Some will say this is the group's best, and if it weren't for Country Honk (a fiddle-driven parody of the contemporary #1 Honky Tonk Woman, which is infinitely better), it would be. Now it'll have to settle for being prime Stones. I'm sure it won't mind.
Is Gimme Shelter the best opener the Stones or anyone else ever recorded? Possibly. It's a terrifying song, in a positive way: the best fade-in known to man, wailing harp, one of the best guitar solos known to man, and Mary Clayton's chilling vocal. Cool! And that guitar solo... Keith Richards is better known for his rhythm guitar, but his leads all over the record are excellent. You can hear more of that great playing on the hilarious, sleazy title, country-blues title track (Stu really gets down and boogies!), the creepy classic "blues opera" Midnight Rambler, where Charlie plays the drums of a lifetime; the sneering Live With Me, which is also pretty funny (and Bobby Keys plays a cool sax!), and the underrated blues Monkey Man, which is again quite funny (listen to Mick's monkey impression in the fade! And the guitar/drum tradeoff thing they do in the instrumental break! And Bill's vibes! What a SONG!) While we're talking about Keef Riffhard, alias the King of Cool, we must mention You Got the Silver. This was the first Stones song he sang lead on, and he sings it well - not a bad little country-folk tune either!
The Stones do the soft as well as the loud (an acoustic take on Robert Johnson's classic Love in Vain - love it!) and the philosphical as well as the sleazy (the multipart classic You Can't Always Get What You Want, my favorite Stones song ever - just listen to all the stuff they managed to layer into this one! Their best lyrics, too). What's not to like? Oh yeah, Country Honk. We'll just pretend that it's Honky Tonk Woman, shall we?
Oh, and a little message to anyone who thinks this is a rip-off of the Beatles' Let It Be. That's just proving you know nothing about either group. Let It Bleed was released before either the album or the single Let It Be. Besides, listen to both albums side-by-side. Pretty different, no?

My Favorite Stones.......2006-07-14

Let it Bleed should be near the top of any rock cd list. Sticky Fingers is close behind.

Monkey Man is so crazy cool
Midnight Rambler
Gimme Shelter
Can't Always Get What You Want
Live With Me is also crazy cool

Amazing! Something else that is amazing is how fast they went down hill in the late 70's. There were a few good songs here and there after the mid 70's, but nothing compared to the era of late 60's and very early 70's.

By the way, I think Exile is a solid album with a cool vibe, but it's not in the same ballpark as Let It Bleed. How Exile gets put on the top 10 list ever is a joke. It's good, but not that good.

Anyway, LET IT BLEED rocks & should be in the top 10 ever.

Love in Vain.......2006-06-11

The Stones turned out a masterpiece with "Let it Bleed." There is not a bad song in the bunch, in fact the fact that every song on this album is a treasure makes it hard to pick a favorite, but for me, I have to go with the band's cover version of Robert Johnson's "Love in Vain." The soulful acoustic guitar work, Mick's pleading voice, the sad, unrelenting song, it's almost all too much. I cry every time I hear it. I've loved in vain, who has not. Then there is the dangerous sounding song, "Midnight Rambler." Boy that one will shake you. I also really love the way Mary Clayton's voice blends with Mick's in "Gimme Shelter. "And how could I not mention "You Can't Always Get What You Want." What a message in that song. Still, like I said, "Love in Vain," it's a heartbreaker, yes it is.

Knocked Out Abbey Road.......2006-06-11

Because of the problems the band was having with Brian Jones, Keith did most of the guitar work on "Beggar's Banquet," and what a job he did. One almost wonders why they needed another guitarist at all, however the boys is the band felt they did and hired Mick Taylor, who is great. Keith's work on "Gimme Shelter" is just chilling and his first solo vocal effort on "You've Got the Silver" is terrific. Dare I say it, this guy could have had a pretty good career all on his own, but if you've got to play in a band, he picked a pretty good one. Mick Jaggar is in top form rocking his socks off in "Midnight Rambler." That song is just scary, scary good, not scary bad. In fact the whole bloody record is scary good. It's easy to see why "Let it Bleed" dethroned the Beatles" "Abbey Road" as the number one record in England way back in Nineteen Sixty-Nine.

The Stones' Best.......2006-06-11

In some ways "Let it Bleed" could be called sort of a transition record. When the band started the recording sessions, Brian Jones was a member of the Greatest Group on Earth, when they finished he was out, soon to be dead and Mick Taylor had taken his place. Brian is only on two of the songs, but Mick Taylor is only on two songs as well. This is also the first record where Keith takes over the lead vocals on a song (You've Got the Silver). And this record picks up where "Sympathy for the Devil" left off. It's a rocker and it propelled the Stones into the stratosphere. No more are they living in the shadows of the Beatles. They are the number one band in the world now. It happened because of this record. "Let it Bleed" is to the Stones as "Blood on the Tracks" is to Dylan, an outstanding work that one simply cannot ignore.

Customer Reviews:

sonia's best yet!.......2004-10-07

I love it! I think it is absolutely some of her best. The cd is complicated simplicity. What a way to open it up... beautiful string arrangement in "no more songs". "won't let go" makes me cry, ...in a good way. "i am the enemy" is a sincere mixture of frustration, love and thanksgiving, all bound together in a maturing spirit. Love the rhythm and chord progression in "bucket of blues". How fun is "ride this ride"? Big yeah for the chick on the piano in "rio's home". And what can you say about sister Cindy's harmonies? It's hard to beat blood-harmony.

I'll go on just a little more... This body of work is the product of a soulful individual dedicated to the honesty of her craft and God given talents... A true songwriter "obviously".

Let's "Ride This Ride".......2004-07-03

By far, Sonia's most mature release. In forty-seven minutes, singer-songwriter SONiA transports listeners on a "heart journey" with her latest release, No Bomb is Smart. The singer takes headline news, crafts wonderful songs and transports listeners all over the world.

A Great Musician Comes of Age.......2004-06-21

A stunning achievement. While SONiA has always displayed an uncanny knack for hook and melody and a deeply perceptive insight with her often socially (and politically) oriented lyrics, never before has she displayed such assured musicianship as she does on NO BOMB IS SMART, surely her greatest musical accomplishment to date.

Jumping between genres with inspired confidence (she incorporates the sounds of country, folk, blues, and rock), she weaves the otherwise disparate elements into a rich tapesty of soulful affirmation and musical substance. Whether it's the haunting simplicity of the piano-laced "Rio's Home," the rich Texas rootsiness of "The Other Man," or the affectionately tender eloquence of "Don't Let Go" (truly one of the disc's most affecting moments), SONiA invests herself fully into each track, and delivers nothing short of musical perfection for the first time in her career.

Fans of her politically charged work will appreciate the powerful title track (as well as the emotionally charged "I Am the Enemy," which tells of the horrors of racially motivated hatred inflicted upon the world in the aftermath of 9/11), but for this longtime fan, it's just great to hear an artist come so fully into maturity as a songwriter on par with important singer-songwriters like Dylan and Phil Ochs (whose "No More Songs" SONiA covers here). This is SONiA's true awakening, and is not to be missed.

Her Best So Far.......2004-05-01

This is SONiA's best studio CD. Her exceptional voice and thought-provoking lyrics are wonderfully complemented by the musiciams who accompany her on this album. Those who know her music and her style will hear a lot of songs that sound pleasntly familiar, such as the title song No Bomb is Smart and Obviously. But there is also a nice mix of new formats - from blues-bop on Bucket of Blues to pop-country on Ride This Ride. There is something for everyone - both long-time fans and new listerners. She does a wonderful job on this CD and I hope she explores more of these new genres in the future.

all time favorite album ---bar-none.......2004-04-26

Of all the albums...all the years...all the listening...this is the most satisfying hour of music I have ever experienced. The first track opens your heart...the second tells an incredible story...the third lifts you to the top of the roller coaster and the rest of the CD carries you along for the ride of your life. If SONiA had this music in her...why did she make us wait so long?! Get two copies...if you play it for anyone...they'll steal it.

The More I listen, The More I like It!.......2003-09-15

Dave Mackenzie's 1995 release has been re-released this year as "the all new" Slender Man Blues. In actuality, the release is identical to the earlier version and that's a good thing. The CD showcases Mackenzie as a witty songwriter and an accomplished blues musician who plays with a hint of Nashville. Some of the songs bring to mind the lyrical style of Rick Estrin of Little Charlie and the Nightcats. The majority of the disc is acoustic based complete with slide guitar and mandolin. The disc is an enjoyable listen and a pleasant change of pace from the blues rock genre.
