Album Notes & Community Reviews

Feeling the pressure of the rising punk and disco movements, The Rolling Stones absorbed both energies to deliver a massively revitalized, deeply cynical triumph. 'Some Girls' is a remarkably eclectic, highly rhythmic rock-and-roll record, pairing the dancefloor smash 'Miss You' with fiercely energetic, playfully sexual country and blues pastiches.
