“The last great album by the Rolling Stones” Legend says that when Some Girls was released the Stones were pretty much a messed up bunch, in great part courtesy of Keith’s dreadful state. So it took Mick Jagger to pull things together.

Clever Mick was right on the spot to keep up with the times. If Some Girls is the Stones’ album that came out in the year of disco and punk, that shows through. Who would expect a funky-disco track by the Stones? I would probably have walked away but the truth is that Miss You is the one classic track here, the one they invested time on. Because overall the album sounds pretty raw with a blend of thrashy rhythm guitars, a lot of them played by Jagger himself, I guess, since Keith wasn’t really there.

And then there is the punk influence in rockers like Respectable and Lies. But the album has a other flavours as well. There is some country rock (Far Away Eyes, Some Girls) and some soul tempered numbers (Beast Of Burden, Imagination). And there is one truly classic (yet, mostly over…

Some Girls, Certain Women, and Hard Drugs
“Some Girls” created controversy upon its release as black leaders objected to the title song lyrics. Controversy must sell as the album sales outdid everything else they’ve done. It’s the “New York” album, as Jagger’s dancing days at Studio 54 seemed to be chronicled here. “Respectable” mocks his wife with Mick’s anger towards women, a love-hate thing Mick has with women, and a frequent motiff in his lyrics. “Some Girls” reflects Jagger’s social life as he kisses and tells all. The band explodes on “Shattered” as Mick has his 20th nervous breakdown. “Beast of Burden” reems with Mick’s hatred of women, marriage, and desire for freedom. Mick’s country music joke, “Far Away Eyes” adds humor and a fine steel guitar to the album. “Lies” is probably the weakest song on the album, an angry rocker. “Before they make me run” is an ode to Keith’s narcotic inspired legal trouble. “Just My Imagination” is old Stones’, an English rock band covering the R&B classics, something they do on every album, for old time’s sake? This is one of their best covers, as Mick brings new life to the tune. Mick gets very shiek, kinky, and cuts a dashing path with “When the Whip Comes Down”, one of the best rockers the Stones ever did. The big disco hit “Miss You”, four on the floor rhythm, with hypnotic harmonica and breathless passion, was a big hit on the radio. “Some Girls” is the Stones at their peak, right before their incredible 81 tour (saw them at Anaheim). It’s a peak the Stones revisit with “Shine a Light”, their latest movie, which revisits many of the songs from this album. Is it better than “Sticky Fingers”; “Exile on Main Street” or “Let it Bleed”? I can’t say as it’s a dilemma for me, I love all of these albums. God knows I love the Stones. Been listening to them since they were “England’s newest hitmakers”, came to San Bernardino (my parents wouldn’t let me go at age 12), and dominated the radio with “Satisfaction”. Saw them in 69 (San Diego); 73 (Hawaii); 81 (Anaheim); and Las Vegas (07), and I hope to see them again….more info
