Free Music Review: Let Me Hear Ya!
Hit: 4 Stars
This is The Rolling Stones' debut album and it's a good one at that. Consisting of mostly covers, this album takes you on a journey through blues and R&B that no other debut album ever could.
It all starts with the Buddy Holly cover, "Not Fade Away", a song that will get you snappin' your fingers until they're numb(well, maybe not since the song is pretty short.) Next comes Nat King Cole's "Route 66". This song kicks it to with Mick's soulful voice and some superior guitars by Keith and Brian. They do an especially good job with Willie Dixon's "I Just Wanna Make Love To You". The song is very fast and is a good mixture of blues and rock 'n roll, a trademark the Stones would develop in the late 60's. "Honest I Do" is a good bluesy number but is easily forgotten. "Now I've Got A Witness" is a instrumental written by the Stones themselves, in tribute to asong later on the album. The song is okay but the organ is just silly. It makes me feel like I'm at a baseball game. "Little By Little" is a good catchy blues number co-written by the now infamous Phil Spector. "I'm A King Bee" sounds a lot like "Little Red Rooster" and the Stones do a outstanding job on Chuck Berry's "Carol". "Tell Me" is the only Jagger/Richards composition on here. This song is somewhat underrated; it is a warm and fragile ballad with some great vocals by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Next comes my personal favorite, Marvin Gaye's "Can I Get A Witness" This song is so happy and silly that you can help but smile when you listen to it. "You Can Make If You Try" is just average, the silly organ from "Now I've Got A Witness" is featured on this one too. Mick Jagger's voice is so goofy on this song that it's a bit surprising at first. Last but not least is "Walking The Dog", a funky R&B song.
This album is essential to any fan of The Rolling Stones.
Free Music Review: Do You Think They Knew?
Hit: 5 Stars
"Route 66," "I Just Want to Make Love to You," "Honest I Do," and the rest of the songs on this record show us the influence of the Blues on Rock and Roll. I have to admit that I came late to the Stones and haven't really paid much attention to the earlier stuff, till my friends and I decided to review their records. I spent a week with this record, "Out of Our Heads" and "Aftermath," playing them over and over again, so that I'd have a good understanding and appreciation of them when we got together to write our reviews. Wow, is all I can say. I appreciate them now, and I think I understand them, they are just plain down and out Rhythm and Blues records. Do you think they knew back then, when they heard this record for the first time that they were listening to what was going to become THE GREATEST GROUP ON EARTH, Really, do you think they knew?Free Music Review: Very Bluesy, Very Good
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the blues at it's very best. Mick's young voice is in fine form, Lord he sounds like a young black man singing his heart out, he could almost be Sam Cooke. "Little by Little," "Walking the Dog," and "Carol" are just plain blues to die for and I swear he does "Not Fade a Way," not a bit like Buddy Holly. I used to play this record a whole lot, but over the years it's sort of been at the back of my CD pile. I'm glad I gave it a listen this morning, it's like an old friend I haven't seen in a while, a friend I'll be listening to a lot more now.Free Music Review: Nineteen Sixty Four All Over Again
Hit: 5 Stars
It's hard to believe that this record was recorded in only five days, but I guess back then they didn't spend months in the studio trying to polish an album. Andrew Oldham and Eric Easton produced a masterpiece with this one and that's saying something, because this is the band's debut album. This is R & B at it's best. R & B from a group of white guys. I'd give anything, just anything if I could go back in time and see these guys perform Bobby Troup's "Route 66" live or Willie Dixon's "I just Want to Make Love to You," which happens to be my favorite song on this record. Of course, Chuck Berry's "Carol" which the Stones will do so well six years later on the Bootleg "Liver Than You'll Ever Be" is also a dynamite piece of music. Oh gosh, listening to this record is like being back in Nineteen Sixty Four All Over Again, well that's what my dad says, I hadn't been born yet.
