Free Music Review: Voodoo One Of Stones Top 5
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is stunningly good with the 50 something year old Stones shockingly soaring to creative heights not seen in more than 15 years, and most assumed would never been seen again. Indeed the fans agreed as the album reached #2 in the charts (#1 in England) and would be 6th highest selling original studio album of the 25 they made. The tour that followed the release of the album remains by far the highest grossing tour in musical history. Some critics said the album was great but broke no new ground. They could not be further from the truth as the album features scores of great songs totally unlike anything the Stones had ever done before including "The Worst", "Moon is Up", "Brand New Car" and "Suck on the Jugular".
The album opens with "Love is Strong" an instant classic in the long line of legendary opening songs such as "Rocks Off", "If You Can't Rock Me", "Start Me Up" and "One Hit to the Body". One of the amazing things on this record is Mick's singing is as good as any point in his career showing off tremendous range and featuring the most interesting lyrics since Some Girls. A critic for Rolling Stone Magazine at the time accurately called Mick's singing on this record as "sheer pleasure". It is followed by "You Got Me Rocking" for the best 1-2 hard rock punch to kick off a Stones album since Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street from the early `70s.
Voodoo, which was named after a stray cat that wandered into the recording studio that was adopted by Richards, has 15 tracks without an ounce of filler, amazing for an album that would have been a double album back in the vinyl days. There are so many great songs, I can't cover them all, but they include Keith's soulful country ballad "The Worst" with Wood on slide guitar, which has more heart than anything you would hear all day listening to a Country Music station. "New Faces" and "Out of Tears" are 2 of the best Stones ballads ever, in the same league as "Tell Me", "Wild Horses", "Angie" and "Waiting on a Friend".
"I Go Wild" is a blistering rocker with a lyrical tale that will have you on the ground laughing at the list of women that "the doctor" recommends avoiding and may in fact be a generic list of Mick's voluminous encounters over the previous half century. "Brand New Car" is one of the most original and cleaver songs ever by the Stones. To this day, most people including veteran rock DJs think this song is about a car. Let me tell you a secret, it has nothing to do with a car and you will be embarrassed when you finally figure it out. Again, Jagger's singing is phenomenal. "Suck on the Jugular" features a beat from drummer Charlie Watts that is unlike any musical style you have ever heard and it works great. "Thru and Thru" is another Richards vocal that is also quite unlike anything you have ever heard, except it doesn't work quite as well as some of the other highly originally crafted songs on this album.
This Album is definitely in the Stones top 10 and possibly in their top 5 which is an amazing feat for the band at this advanced stage in the band's career with so many legendary albums in their wake. It did not go unnoticed by their peers as indicated by their comments just after the release of the album. Angus Young of AC/DC: "Wow, when they want to, they can rock with anyone". Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull: "They are still easily the best band in the world". Roger Waters of Pink Floyd: "If there were one band I wished I was in, it would be the Rolling Stones, because they are so sexy". Gene Simmons of Kiss: "You are talking about a band that continues to be the consummate Rock `N Roll band in the world."
Voodoo Lounge and their other `1990s release Bridges to Babylon (1997) are both far superior to the bands 4 1980s releases and both were followed by massive awe inspiring tours. Voodoo is a must have album, especially for those of you who incorrectly assume Some Girls was their final legendary effort. Overall Grade: A
