Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Probably the best overall Stones album/cd.... Comment: Sticky Fingers is close, but for overall quantity of good songs on one disc - this is probably it! Not "knocking" their other disc's (they have plenty of good ones), or individual songs on others - but overall, for number of good rockers/quality tunes on one album I like this one. Customer Rating: Summary: The Stones answer to Let It Be Comment: Cr@$#!!!!! "Christopher" CRADDOCK, the one-eyed king of Bakersfield says: "Released on November 28, 1969, this signaled the end of the Summer of Love. Gimmie Shelter, Live With Me, Midnight Rambler, but then the resignation and redemption of You Can't Always Get What You Want."

Customer Rating: Summary: The Rolling Stones - Answer To Let It Be Comment: The title of this album is a play on the Beatles last official album "Let It Be". The Stones were always the Yin to then Beatles Yang and never was it more apparent than at the end of the 60's. The Beatles were on the verge of breaking up while the Stones would continue for another 4 plus decades. "Bleed" is one of the Stones better albums and contains two songs that have become classics, still receiving a vast amount of airplay today. "Gimmie Shelter", "You Can't Always Get What You Want" rank up with the best songs of the 60's as they open and close this album. The rest of the disc is not as good, but it is all decent Stones material. The band covers Robert Johnson's "Love In Vain" then covers themselves with a country version of Honkey Tonk Woman called "Country Honk". "Midnight Rambler" is good, but I think the live version on "Get Your Ya Ya's Out" is better. "You Got The Silver" finds Keith Richards on lead vocals for the first time. "Live With Me" and "Monkey Man" round out the album. Original member Brian Jones would die during the making of this one, with Mick Taylor on board as his replacement. Customer Rating: Summary: Solid! Comment: Leading off with the stellar "Gimme Shelter," followed by the twangy country blues number "Love in Vain," The Rolling Stones immediately show their two greatest talents on this 1969 album, those being the ability to write a killer "hit" track, as well as to fill out an album with songs you wouldn't necessarily expect from a band described as being a rock n' roll act. I've always been amazed at the differences between Mick Jagger's vocals on their more country tracks, where he sings with a nasal whine, and the more rocking tracks (or, at least, the slightly less country tracks), where his voice can be deeper and, generally richer, and nowhere is this more apparent than in "Country Honk," versus "Midnight Rambler." The classic "You Can't Always Get What You Want" closes out the album, which is really just a great piece of songwriting. I have, however, always wondered at the inclusion of the choir, which seems unnecessary and, in honesty, takes away from the song. All in all, a good offering from the Stones. Better than its predecessor, Beggars Banquet, which follows the country theme to a fault, this album plugs in and rocks enough to give it more variety. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: One of the Stones' most beloved albums, 1969's Let It Bleed was a benchmark for several reasons. First, founding guitarist Brian Jones died during the recording process. Second, the Stones take their last significant look at pure blues (Robert Johnson's spooky "Love in Vain") and country ("Country Honk," the two-stepping alter ego of "Honky-Tonk Women") before folding both styles into a cohesive rock & roll vision. Third, it contains some of the band's most eerie hits, such as the flame-enveloped "Gimme Shelter," the drug-reality anthem "Monkey Man," the epic "You Can't Always Get What You Want," and Mick Jagger's menacing "Midnight Rambler." --Steve Knopper
