Mick Jagger – lead vocals, harmonica, percussion. All Time Favorites Chiangmai Mail Pattaya Mail HM King Rama IX.This story is from the April 29th, 1999 issue of Rolling Stone. The album’s title was something of a taunt: “Yes, we’re as crazy as you think we are and probably high, as well.” A line had been drawn in the sand, and there was no doubt where the Stones stood. Their defiance made the Stones heroes of the then-burgeoning counterculture. The song’s sexual references triggered hand-wringing in the mainstream media, bringing down precisely the kind of heat the band thrived on. “Satisfaction” pegged the Stones as the bad boys of rock. “The Last Time” and “Satisfaction,” though, proudly bear the “Jagger Richard” (sic) stamp. Still uncertain as songwriters, the Stones often credited their original tunes to the made-up name Nanker Phelge, as they did for “Play With Fire,” “The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man” and “I’m All Right” on this album. Jagger found the theme – petulant dissatisfaction – that best suited the persona he had been developing, and Keith Richards assumed his mantle as King of the Riff.
The breakthrough, however, came with two songs the Stones wrote themselves: “The Last Time” and “Satisfaction,” On those tracks. Sam Cooke‘s “Good Times,” Solomon Burke’s “Cry to Me” and Marvin Gaye‘s “Hitch Hike.”ĥ00 Greatest Albums of All Time: No. The Stones delivered raw covers of Don Covay’s “Mercy Mercy.” Otis Redding‘s “That’s How Strong My Love Is” (an apex of Stones live shows of the period). Out of Our Heads draws heavily on the work of American R&B musicians who were all but unknown to white teenagers both in this country and in the United Kingdom. They completed Out of Our Heads at sessions in Hollywood and London. To make the album, the Stones returned in May 1965 to Chess Studios, in Chicago, home of their blues idols and the place where the Stones themselves had recorded parts of 12×5 the year before. Out of Our Heads was the last in that series, and it culminated the Stones’ commercial breakthrough in America. Things Moved Fast Back in the day: The Rolling Stones‘ first four albums came out between May 1964 and July 1965, and all four are essential to an understanding of the origins of blues-based rock & roll.
