"Sister Morphine," the heart of guitarist Mick Taylor's first full studio album with the Stones, doesn't get the airplay of "Brown Sugar" or "Wild Horses." But it's one of the most vivid, horrifying songs about drug abuse ever recorded--as Mick Jagger sings "from my hospital bed," the ringing guitars of Taylor and Keith Richards build to full catharsis behind him. On that and lighter songs like the countryish "Dead Flowers" and the rocker "Bitch," Charlie Watts establishes himself as rock's prototypical drummer. He's creative and propulsive and knows how to swing, but he never overwhelms the song or the other Stones. --Steve Knopper --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5 out of 5 stars A MASTERPIECE! ROCK, COUNTRY AND BLUES AT IT'S FINEST!.......2007-07-10

This is a classic album and is certainly in the top 100 ever made! My personal favorite cut is "Sway" I just love to hear Mick Taylor wailing away on his guitar until the fade out. Every cut is exceptional and there are a few hits on this album "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses" mainly and "Bitch",but this album goes much deeper than those obvious cuts with the classic country "Dead Flowers" and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" which rocks all the way to the jazz-like end! Every song is worth mentioning and this album should be in every music lovers collection.

5 out of 5 stars "Wild Horses" should not keep you away from excellence!.......2007-06-02

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" I am often ask to review and talk about various rock recordings from the 60's and 70's.

The Rolling Stones Mick Taylor period is a treasure chest that never empties. Mick was the most advantageous choice for the group. His leads, fills, and general sound pushed the band to new heights.

"Sticky Fingers" runs with the smoothest of engines from start to finish. The tracks are incredible examples of the Stones diversity and ability to excel. While the casual fan will gravitate toward "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses", don't deprive yourself of one of the most underrated tunes ever "Sway." Mick Taylor has his patent of excellence all over the arrangement of "Can't You Hear Me knocking."

Often the word great is used to excess but in this case it doesn't do justice!

Mick Taylor we miss you. A shame you left.

Be well always,
Craig Fenton

4 out of 5 stars Good Stones album..but the best?.......2007-04-19

"Sticky Fingers" isnt just a great Stones album, but a great classic rock album as well. The only thing that I have to debate about this album is that I dont think its the best Stones record. The honor would have to go to "Let it Bleed" Now, I am in no way comparing this to "Let it Bleed" because that just wouldn't be fair, since every song on "Let it Bleed" is excellent, which makes it an easy five star effort. The reason I give this only four stars is that is falls just a bit short from perfect. I feel when you are reviewing Stones albums from this time frame, that you have to be a little more judgemental, since the late 60's/ all 70's time frame was the best for the band. They even had some early 80's solid albums, but no where near the musical effort as the earlier stuff. "Sticky Fingers" seems to fall a bit short with "You gotta move", and "Dead Flowers" which in my opinion seem to be blues songs that are forced, instead of the blues infused "Sister Morphine" , and "Moonlight Mile" which the band seems to flow more gracefully. I am sure there will be some that love those songs, but I feel that they are just a bit overdone, and they just arent very solid songs, if that makes any sense. Its still a great record from the Stones, but I feel that it just isn't pefect, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be in everyone's CD collection. ENJOY!

4 out of 5 stars why no remaster?.......2007-04-09

Their best album. And my favorite album of all. But one star goes away for not remastering this one as they have the CD's of the early years. Surely it is deserving.

5 out of 5 stars Introducing The Rolling Stones.......2007-04-07

It's no wonder the Stones are now all so thin: not so much a case of Laugh And Grow Fat (they have enough to smile about, after all); it's more that the legend sucked them dry, thinner but not leaner, the accusations, bust-ups and sheer "legend" of the band leaving only dried out husks of men where once glamour pranced. And if 1972's "Exile On Main street was the devil's boogie that the Stones danced to once too often, "Sticky Fingers" is simply the best introduction to the Stones.

Ghoulish but extreme only in its retrograde glamorization of the roots of so much that 1972 stood for, Exile... is a potted history of rock 'n roll, even for those who have no conscious affiliation to the myths. "Sticky Fingers" is alternatively a concise, on the nail collection of songs, driven by Mick Taylor and Keith Richard's fiery interplay of guitars, a tight rhythm section, and Jagger's preening, pleading vocals. It has the hit single "Wild Horses"; the indulgent guitar workout "Can't You Hear Me Knocking"; "Dead Flowers" is a country ode that references heroin (although Jagger claims to hate both the genre and the drug); "Sister Morphine", a mini-opera of sexy degradation; sole cover version "You Gotta Move" a nod to the deep South influences that started the band in the first place; and "Bitch", one of the most underrated (and underplayed) of all Stones songs.

The front cover, like Warhol's other great contribution to rock mythology, promises to peel away the exterior to leave us with the lascivious debauchery that suburban purchasers so coveted. While the band didn't invent sex and rebellion, it made it somehow seem real for the late 60s generation. And for the last time, the Stones sound like a band making their own music, rather than the glorious ode to America that really comprises "Exile..." and the pastiches of former glories that marks everything post-'72. Therefore, "Sticky Fingers" is the way to remember the Rolling Stones: before they were sucked dry by the blues.

5 out of 5 stars I'm No Schoolgirl, but I Know What I Like.......2006-06-11

Mick Taylor's haunting guitar can be heard throughout this record. The guitar marriage between him and Keith was, without a doubt, a match made in heaven. The two just knew how to drive a song, well ten songs in this case. And if these guys are driving the car, Mick Jaggar is riding shotgun, mike in hand, singing his heart out, and steadily beating his pound tattoo to keep the guitars in time is none other than that drummer extrodinaire Charlie Watts. Let's face it, the bass is good too, can't forget Bill. Can't forget the host of guest musicians either who make up this stew. Do you think they all knew back then what they were about? What they were creating? Certainly they knew "Brown Sugar" would raise some eyebrows. And they had to know mommies and daddies were gonna be furious about "Sister Morphine." Still, this record overcame it all. Just about every rock publication on earth has declared this record to be one of the best ever made. It is.

5 out of 5 stars Get You Grooving.......2006-06-11

The Rolling Stones' "Sticky Fingers" is certainly one of the greatest rock and roll records to come out of the Boomer Generation, actually it's one of the best records to come out of any generation. Somewhere along the line the boys in the band got transformed from the bad boys of rock and roll into some mighty fine musicians. Well, they were still, and still are, I suppose, the bad boys of rock. A listen to this record will tell you that. I mean could anybody but the Stones have gotten away with "Brown Sugar" and "Sister Morphine?" So, let's agree, they were still the bad boys. I guess it's possible to be a rocker and to not be so good (just kidding), but all kidding aside, this is a record that will rip you right out of your seat, get you dancing, get you rocking, get you thinking, get you grooving.

5 out of 5 stars A Rolling Stones Masterpiece.......2006-06-11

"Sticky Fingers from start to finish is nothing short of masterful. It just flows. And it does it without bowing or kowtowing to anybody. "Brown Sugar" must have blown a lot of minds back in the day. And "Sister Morphine," wowza, I'm surprised the holier than though folks who want to control everything we see and hear weren't out publicly melting these records down. But maybe they couldn't, maybe they were too mesmerized by Mick Taylor's knock down drag out guitar playing. Or maybe Bobby Keys sax warned them away. Or maybe they were just afraid of street fighting men, whatever. Actually this record apparently did tick off Franco. You know the guy who ran Spain, because when it came out there, "Sister Morphine" was replaced with "Let it Rock" and that totally glorious Andy Warhol zipper cover was replaced with a photo of the band. I guess Franco thought it obscene, which is strange coming from a man who every thinking person on the planet found obscene. Anyway, you won't find it obscene, not if you've got heart.

5 out of 5 stars So Far Beyond the Ability of Mortal Musicians.......2006-06-10

This is the third record of the five Stones records produced by Jimmy Miller, five records that in my opinion are the five best all time Stones recoring. Sadly, I can't rate them one through five, because they are all so outstanding. The ten songs on "Sticky Fingers" show off all the abilities of the band, from the bluesy "I've Got the Blues" and "You Gotta Move," to the rockers "Bitch" and the wonderfully, politically incorrect "Brown Sugar" and on to the countrified "Wild Horses" and "Dead Flowers," there is nothing but excellence exhibited here. Not only the Stones, but the guest musicians as well, excel far beyond the abilities of normal musicians. Ry Cooder's work is so chilling on "Sister Morphine" that it takes your breath away. Bobby Keys sax on "Brown Sugar" rips right into your soul. This is certainly one of the best and finest records ever made.

The Rolling Stones-Sticky Fingers*****

Exit Brian Jones, enter Mick Taylor. With the death of Brian Jones The Rolling Stones recruted virtuoso guitarist Mick Taylor, who was previously known for his work with the great John mayall. Let It Bleed was the first introduction to Mick Taylor, though he only played on one song. Sticky Fingers was Mick Taylors album. Of all the albums to feature the guitarist he had the most input during this one. Sticky Fingers is one of the four 'classic albums' in The Rolling Stones cannon. Many fans concider this to be the very best Rolling Stones album of all tuime, and for good reason too, It's amazing. For me it comes down to this one and Exile On Main Street for the title of best album. One day Ill say this one then the next I'll say Exile On Main Street, well one thing is for sur they are both amazing. During the recording of Sticky Fingers the band was at its all time creative peak in my opinion. The lyrics are the all time best that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards ever wrote. The musicianship, especially the guitar playing is amazing here, Charlie Watts is as always the heart and soul of the band, while Bill Wymans bass is less prominant and only comes through when really needed showing his versitility as a great player. The songs are amazing many of which went on to become radio staples, classics, and really rock and roll standards.

'Brown Sugar' which starts of the album set a new standard for the way rock and roll could and should be played. Being concidered by many to be one of the all time greatest songs of all time as well as the very best Rolling Stones song ever, 'Brown Sugar' starts the albm off just right. Next is 'Sway' with more of a laid back country feel to the music and vocals. The song comes across almost gosphel in places like it is straight out of the south. Also the lyrics give that feeling with lyrics of an evil force keeping you in its sway. Clearly a song written under the influence of the great late delta blues singer and guitarist Robert Johnson. And not to mention the amazing guitar solo played during the song by Mick Taylor. Easily the mans all time best guitar solo. Many will disagree but for me this is it. 'Wild Horses is the first of two songs on the album that were inspired by Marian Faithfull's drug overdose. The chorus is "Wild Hourses couldnt drag me away" which was the first thing she said after she came out of her coma.It's a slow acoustic song with amazing vocals and slide guitar. The song has since become one of the bands biggest and best known songs. Next Is the amazing somba rocker 'Cant You hear Me Knocking' which is an all time favorite of mine and contains Keith Richards' all time best guitar riff, few would dissagree. It starts out as a bluesy rocker before it eases it's way into almost a samba, at the end. Truly one of the best songs the band ever wrote, and it also contains some of Mick Jaggers best ever vocals. "You Gotta Move' is a slow bluesy song the band remade which is a traditional blues number. While I do like the was the band performs it, I still think the best version of the song was done by Aerosmith on their album Honkin' On Bobo, which is a fantastic album you should also check out. Moving On. Next is the awesome rocker 'Bitch' which is yet another classic Rolling Stones song that still gets regular air play on the radio.Great use of horns and the guitar isnt bad either. The lyrics are an all time favorite. The song reminds me of something The Temptations could have recorded in the late 1960's or the early 1970's.The song is fantastic and really the main reason hwy I bought the album. Next Is the beautifuly sentamental 'Ive Got The Blues' which features some nice vocal work from Jagger and is a really pretty song to sit and relax with while you listen. People either think the next song is the weakest song on the album or one of the bands all time best. I think 'Sister Morphine' is one of the very best things the band ever wrote. It too was inspired by the Faithfulls drug overdose, as easy to spy in the lyrics, which she helped to write. Probably my second favorite song on the album now that I think about it. 'Dead Flowers' is a ocuntry rocker that the boys pull of nicely. The lyrics are cool, and Micks fake country vocals do well. Slash of Guns 'N Roses once said that Mick Taylor's slide guitar solo is his all time favorite, so thats saying a lot. As the album comes to a close it does so wonderfully with the song 'Moonlight Mile.' A song that always reminds me of the Doors' song 'Moonlight Drive' and I dont know why because the only similar thing is the title. The song is slow and beautiful and eases the album out perfectly.

Originaly the album featured a zipper on the cover which was designed by the late great Andy Worhol. This is an album that should be heard by all fans of any form of rock and roll, blues and yes even country. With Sticky Fingers The Rolling Stones showed the world that there was on one like them and that there never would be. With two lgendary albums already under their belt the The Rolling Stones set in stone their place in music history as one of the most eciting bands ever. Recomended to all!!

      The front cover, like Warhol's other great contribution to rock mythology, promises to peel away the exterior to leave us with the lascivious debauchery that suburban purchasers so coveted. While the band didn't invent sex and rebellion, it made it somehow seem real for the late 60s generation. And for the last time, the Stones sound like a band making their own music, rather than the glorious ode to America that really comprises "Exile..." and the pastiches of former glories that marks everything post-'72. Therefore, "Sticky Fingers" is the way to remember the Rolling Stones: before they were sucked dry by the blues.

      4 out of 5 stars Obscure Canadian Act.......2002-03-24

      Sticky Fingers is a Toronto studio act identical to the better known group THP Orchestra. Same players, vocalists, and producers. It is also closely related to the group Southern Exposure-- only the vocalists differ. This album was originally released in 1978 and features the Duncan Sisters on vocals. Despite the cheesy cover photo (a trademark of the projects coming out of Three Hats Productions), this album is the strongest of all of these acts. The songwriting is more polished, the arrangements more sophisticated, the singing more soulful. The sisters Duncan acquit themselves very well, with choral-style vocal arrangements. The project feels remarkably like soulful New York disco. Although the Rose Royce-esque "Party Song" was the track that made a small dent on the Disco Top 40 charts, "Wastin' My Love" and "Takin' A Chance" are even better, bringing to mind the group Change with a bit more attitude. Definitely recommended for fans of disco and dance music.

      5 out of 5 stars I'm No Schoolgirl, but I Know What I Like.......2006-06-11

      Mick Taylor's haunting guitar can be heard throughout this record. The guitar marriage between him and Keith was, without a doubt, a match made in heaven. The two just knew how to drive a song, well ten songs in this case. And if these guys are driving the car, Mick Jaggar is riding shotgun, mike in hand, singing his heart out, and steadily beating his pound tattoo to keep the guitars in time is none other than that drummer extrodinaire Charlie Watts. Let's face it, the bass is good too, can't forget Bill. Can't forget the host of guest musicians either who make up this stew. Do you think they all knew back then what they were about? What they were creating? Certainly they knew "Brown Sugar" would raise some eyebrows. And they had to know mommies and daddies were gonna be furious about "Sister Morphine." Still, this record overcame it all. Just about every rock publication on earth has declared this record to be one of the best ever made. It is.

      5 out of 5 stars Get You Grooving.......2006-06-11

      The Rolling Stones' "Sticky Fingers" is certainly one of the greatest rock and roll records to come out of the Boomer Generation, actually it's one of the best records to come out of any generation. Somewhere along the line the boys in the band got transformed from the bad boys of rock and roll into some mighty fine musicians. Well, they were still, and still are, I suppose, the bad boys of rock. A listen to this record will tell you that. I mean could anybody but the Stones have gotten away with "Brown Sugar" and "Sister Morphine?" So, let's agree, they were still the bad boys. I guess it's possible to be a rocker and to not be so good (just kidding), but all kidding aside, this is a record that will rip you right out of your seat, get you dancing, get you rocking, get you thinking, get you grooving.

      5 out of 5 stars A Rolling Stones Masterpiece.......2006-06-11

      "Sticky Fingers from start to finish is nothing short of masterful. It just flows. And it does it without bowing or kowtowing to anybody. "Brown Sugar" must have blown a lot of minds back in the day. And "Sister Morphine," wowza, I'm surprised the holier than though folks who want to control everything we see and hear weren't out publicly melting these records down. But maybe they couldn't, maybe they were too mesmerized by Mick Taylor's knock down drag out guitar playing. Or maybe Bobby Keys sax warned them away. Or maybe they were just afraid of street fighting men, whatever. Actually this record apparently did tick off Franco. You know the guy who ran Spain, because when it came out there, "Sister Morphine" was replaced with "Let it Rock" and that totally glorious Andy Warhol zipper cover was replaced with a photo of the band. I guess Franco thought it obscene, which is strange coming from a man who every thinking person on the planet found obscene. Anyway, you won't find it obscene, not if you've got heart.

      5 out of 5 stars So Far Beyond the Ability of Mortal Musicians.......2006-06-10

      This is the third record of the five Stones records produced by Jimmy Miller, five records that in my opinion are the five best all time Stones recoring. Sadly, I can't rate them one through five, because they are all so outstanding. The ten songs on "Sticky Fingers" show off all the abilities of the band, from the bluesy "I've Got the Blues" and "You Gotta Move," to the rockers "Bitch" and the wonderfully, politically incorrect "Brown Sugar" and on to the countrified "Wild Horses" and "Dead Flowers," there is nothing but excellence exhibited here. Not only the Stones, but the guest musicians as well, excel far beyond the abilities of normal musicians. Ry Cooder's work is so chilling on "Sister Morphine" that it takes your breath away. Bobby Keys sax on "Brown Sugar" rips right into your soul. This is certainly one of the best and finest records ever made.
