>What do people see in LIB anyway?<
Damn girl! You know I love ya but Damn!
It starts off with the absolute Stones masterpiece, 'Gimme Shelter', sucking you in from the get go, next is a sweet bluesy nod to American music and Robert Johnson, the music is sublime even if Jagger's singing on this one lacks a bit (Listen to the acoustic, the slide and the mandolin....makes me want to take a slow shot of whiskey as I listen to it right now...its' heaven and full of bluesy emotion. The nod to American roots and blues continues on Country Honk and once again the instruments take center stage and shine, NOT Jagger's attempt to sound like he's from Tennessee. 'Live With Me' starts up and Jagger soon begins singing in his powerful, natural rock style voice that has helped make the Stones THE Rock And Roll band of all time. Add horns and a cool sax to the power of the Stones musicianship and you have a song that is sexy as hell. Let It Bleed continues the sexy feeling and that slide guitar once again makes me want to reach for the shot glass. Let It Bleed, the answer to the Beatles', Let It Be, is dirty, nasty sex and it feels good! Rambler takes over and it might be the sexiest Stones song ever, some slow, sweet, fondling for foreplay, and then the pace and pulse continues to quicken through the song until finally erupting in an oragasmic, pulsating, frenzy! Live versions are even better but the studio version has that same image mix of sex and violence that sends the senses reeling. Strange and almost disturbing is the double images of sex and violence but it's highly effective at getting the adrenaline pumping.
More American roots on 'You Got The Silver' and Keith sings this love song with conviction. Ranks number three as a Keith sung Stones song for me. Kind of cool to see this side of Keith.
Monkey Man has never made it on a Stones "best of" compilation release and the only reason is LIB has too many other great songs. It is a Stones classic with an incredible piano/bass intro that is soon guitar driven and Jagger sings like he means it. Man! I love this song!
YCAGWYW is as good a closing song as the Stones have ever put on record and I love the creative use of classical instruments and Choir singers. Some of the best lyrics the boys have ever written too.
The album is fantastic and diverse. What's not to love about it?! (Don't answer that question, DA. ;->)
Oh...LIB and Sweet Emotion were my choices.
