The Rolling Stones, “Let It Bleed” (1969). A good album. The Stones sound a little different than other rock (okay, heavy blues?) bands. Unlike Led Zeppelin, the beat here is “behind” the music rather than “in front” of the music like Zeppelin with their heavy, in-your-face drums. That’s a Mississippi Delta blues thing. Jagger “borrowed” a lot of negro blues techniques — he got away with it because he had the lips for it! Heh, heh, heh.
