The Rolling Stones (1972) Let it Loose

 Another underrated gem from what many people consider to be the Stones' best album, the country blues double album Exile on Main Street. This one, like many Stones gems, starts with a iconic, memorable loop of music, such as the haunting the piano vamps of Monkey Man or pulsing trumpets of Stop Breaking Down, here we get a dreamy texture of Hammond organ effected guitars and Jagger's aped drawl. The way the song swells with gospel choirs and Jagger's coursed vocals laying bare his demons in this song. The depression, drugs and alcohol have never been so vividly realised in music as The Stones always could; "You're in the bar, and you're gettin drunk!". The despair displayed in the song is what made the Stone's earthy blues so well loved.
