Yes,
even the Rolling Stones were once young and hungry. Released in 1964,
the group's U.S. debut is an urgent slab of hardcore blues-wailing
rave-ups by a great r&b/beat punk sound. "Now I've Got A Witness" is
basically a raver version of adapted from "Can I Get A Witness" (a
version of which appears toward the end of this album), while "Little By
Little" is- a very derivative uptown R&B/blues shuffle. "Tell Me"
has Phil Spector's fingerprints all over it, with its teen-drama lyrics
and swooning melody. "Little By Little" is full of bemused attitude,
with plenty of gin-joint instrumentation and a great drawling vocal from
Jagger, with a wild guitar solo thrown in the middle. "Tell Me" may be
derivative, but it shows that the 'Stones knew how to maximize the
effect of their favorite cliches: It's an incredibly catchy song, with a
soulful chorus and a great twanged-out guitar part. It also proves that
even when Mick was mewling and pleading for his girl to take him back,
he still sounded way cooler than anybody you'll ever meet. Of course the
rest of the album is steeped in raw primal cookers that never sounded
better in their original monaural recordings, vibrant, bright and
electrified!
