What Are You Listening To?

[SteveO]

Definitely Music Head....I like this album also !!!!!

from my library (vinyl)



Been a long time since I've pulled out a Stones album. Makes it all the better. Surprised how high this one comes
out. I'm more a fan of the earlier years, yet this one hit the spot. Don't think I would have loved most of these
when the album came out. Time changes everything. Only thing I remember loving on here initially was Far Away Eyes,
and it's still my favorite. Must be Mick trying to sound country. Done as a parody I'm sure, but it's a classic for
me. A fantastic live clip for that track. This is the groups 16th studio album. Hard to say when their peak was. It
was a long peak. Another #1 album for them here. Punk was setting in and the Stones were eager for the battle. Some
new blood as Ronnie Wood had just come on board as a full time member. This album is the groups all time best
seller showing 6 million copies in the U.S. alone as of 2000. It contains the groups last #1 U.S. single in Miss
You. Respectable and Shattered were also singles. Richards takes a vocal turn on Before They Make Me Run which is
credible. Only thing I don't like on here is the remake of the Temptation's Just My Imagination. Almost as bad as
Dancing In The Street. Sorry, it sucked.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Imagination

Best Track - Far Away Eyes

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, "You know you always have the
Lord by your side"

And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you lord

I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off
She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes

So if you're down on your luck
And you can't harmonize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer, and a girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got

So if you're down on your luck
I know you all sympathize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes
