1. The Stones turned out a masterpiece with "Let it Bleed." There is not a bad song in the bunch, in fact the fact that every song on this album is a treasure makes it hard to pick a favorite, but for me, I have to go with the band's cover version of Robert Johnson's "Love in Vain." The soulful acoustic guitar work, Mick's pleading voice, the sad, unrelenting song, it's almost all too much. I cry every time I hear it. I've loved in vain, who has not. Then there is the dangerous sounding song, "Midnight Rambler." Boy that one will shake you. I also really love the way Mary Clayton's voice blends with Mick's in "Gimme Shelter. "And how could I not mention "You Can't Always Get What You Want." What a message in that song. Still, like I said, "Love in Vain," it's a heartbreaker, yes it is.



2. Because of the problems the band was having with Brian Jones, Keith did most of the guitar work on "Beggar's Banquet," and what a job he did. One almost wonders why they needed another guitarist at all, however the boys is the band felt they did and hired Mick Taylor, who is great. Keith's work on "Gimme Shelter" is just chilling and his first solo vocal effort on "You've Got the Silver" is terrific. Dare I say it, this guy could have had a pretty good career all on his own, but if you've got to play in a band, he picked a pretty good one. Mick Jaggar is in top form rocking his socks off in "Midnight Rambler." That song is just scary, scary good, not scary bad. In fact the whole bloody record is scary good. It's easy to see why "Let it Bleed" dethroned the Beatles" "Abbey Road" as the number one record in England way back in Nineteen Sixty-Nine.

4. In some ways "Let it Bleed" could be called sort of a transition record. When the band started the recording sessions, Brian Jones was a member of the Greatest Group on Earth, when they finished he was out, soon to be dead and Mick Taylor had taken his place. Brian is only on two of the songs, but Mick Taylor is only on two songs as well. This is also the first record where Keith takes over the lead vocals on a song (You've Got the Silver). And this record picks up where "Sympathy for the Devil" left off. It's a rocker and it propelled the Stones into the stratosphere. No more are they living in the shadows of the Beatles. They are the number one band in the world now. It happened because of this record. "Let it Bleed" is to the Stones as "Blood on the Tracks" is to Dylan, an outstanding work that one simply cannot ignore.
