While it didn't spawn any super hits, and the critics weren't crazy about it. It did stand the test of time and prove to be The Stones' dirtiest, grittiest and nastiest record. Hard blues and country swirled together and bound in drugs and whiskey. What a strong record this is. The whole damn thing is a good listen and some tracks are amazing.
Do yourself a huge favor and read the Wiki article on this record. It is fascinating.
My favorite track is Sweet Virginia. Standouts include Tumbling Dice, Torn and Frayed, Loving Cup, Happy, Rocks Off and Shine a Light. Rocks Off is a delight! Keith Richard's lyrics about sex with a dancer and shooting heroin. Not for the easily offended.
