The Rolling Stones (1973) Coming Down Again

 The Stones are by no means underrated but they do have a vast array of gems from their 70's period. They were the best drugged out trippy songs mixed with jagged rock n roll guitars keeping a oddly lethargic mood that worked on songs such as the hazy Winter and particularly on this tune from Goats Head Soup. The clear piano sets off the song to an upbeat start before Richard's vocals come in with a slight country western deepness cutting through before the chorus refrain brilliantly captures the feeling of being intoxicated and slowly cutting yourself off. The isolating feel of the mix is something the Stones were great at on songs such as Sweet Virginia creating an almost palpable claustrophobic experience on an aural level.
