Album Notes & Community Reviews

Consisting entirely of original Jagger-Richards compositions for the first time, this release moves beyond their Chicago blues covers by incorporating marimbas, dulcimers, and Brian Jones's sitar lines. The expanded instrumental palette contrasts with cynical, often pointed lyrics detailing romantic disillusionment and social friction.
