Free Music Review: An Early And GREATEST Stage Of A Continuing Phenomenon
Hit: 5 Stars

As a child of the 1960's (born in 1946), The Rolling Stones have made music that I have listened to at each stage of my adolescent and presumably post-adolescent life. At each juncture, their music has been through changes as has one or two of the band members, as have I! Asked when he planned to retire some years ago, Mick Jagger - in classic Mick Jagger style - responded something like, "... no one asks Muddy Waters or John Lee Hooker that question. Why are you asking me? I sing my version of the blues and plan to do so until I can't. That might include being wheeled out on stage in a wheelchair some years from now, still doing what I do as best as I can." That is not intended to be a direct quote, but is rather the way I recall hearing the story told and retold over the years. I recall it this way because it makes sense to me ... a LOT of sense. Often characterized as the quintessenal rock and toll band, The Rolling Stones were, are and I expect will continue to be and become a continuing phenomenon of musical expression. That being said, even bands that seem to go on forever have their stronger and weaker periods; their peaks of high creativity and valleys of times when they simply have to fulfill a contractual obligation by releasing an album and/or touring.

For most Stones fans, the period the collection at hand provides an unarguably thrilling sampling of is that in the years from 1964 to 1971 during which the Stones wrote, performed and recorded some of the greatest music in the continually developing story of the genre we call Rock and Roll.

This is a two CD set is produced on two layers. One is a `normal' CD, the second is a Super Audio CD (SACD). Both layers have been produced from the original takes using DSD (Direct Stream Digital) encoding which does a simply tremendous job of capturing each and every subtle moment, tone and innuendo on each track - be it from voice or instrument. It actually sounds a lot better than the original recordings and is far superior to standard `remasterings' of older studio and/or live recordings. So, even though there are no real surprises on these CDs, there is much delight to be had by the Stones audiophile in hearing just how good they really sound(ed) during this period.

The specific tracks are all known, verbatim, to many of my generation and include, on the first CD:
1. Time Is On My Side
2. Heart Of Stone
3. Play With Fire
4. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
5. As Tears Go By
6. Get Off Of My Cloud
7. Mother's Little Helper
8. 19th Nervous Breakdown
9. Paint It, Black
10. Under My Thumb
11. Ruby Tuesday, and
12. Let's Spend The Night Together

The second CD picks up where the first one leaves off with:
1. Jumpin' Jack Flash
2. Street Fighting Man
3. Sympathy For The Devil
4. Honky Tonk Women
5. Gimme Shelter
6. Midnight Rambler (Live)
7. You Can't Always Get What You Want
8. Brown Sugar, and
9. Wild Horses

Clearly, the Rolling Stones have produced dozens of albums and hundreds upon hundreds of songs: most are at least better than average and many (some would argue, most) are far superior to most of everything else that has ever (or may ever be) written for, performed or recorded in this particular musical genre.

Whether you believe that the Stones are simply one of the greatest Rock and Roll bands to ever perform or that they are THE greatest, you will have no regrets about investing in this remarkably hypnotic, engaging and enthusiastic pair of CDs. La crème de la crème. The best of the best. Vocally, musically, ensemble-wide: in all measurable respects. Close your eyes and sing along - with your voice or in your mind. Either way, you won't be disappointed.

Hot Rocks 1964-1971 Poster

Remastered reissue of 1972 compilation.

Rolling Stones Photos

It's the rare greatest-hits album that takes on a life of its own. Generally, best-of collections are superceded by updated retrospectives. Hot Rocks is one of the rare exceptions to the rule. Originally released in 1972, it instantly became the Stones intro of choice, elbowing aside Big Hits, High Tide and Green Grass and Through the Past Darkly. Why? It happened to hit the racks when Mick and company were at their creative peak. The 21 tracks found here represent seven years of dizzying growth. From "Time is on My Side" through "Satisfaction" and "Let's Spend the Night Together," on to Sticky Fingers's "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses," Hot Rocks never lets up. The likes of Sucking in the '70s and Jump Back come and go, but this Stones overview will not be moved. --Steven Stolder
