A real goat head in some kind of soup
Mick, Not Rod
Perhaps the most well known song on this album is “Angie” which I have met several people over the years that thought it was a Rod Stewart song. Then there is “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)” with the horns section providing a bigger sound. And “Hide Your Love” is the most blues song here on this album.

To my shame I haven’t put anywhere near enough time into listening to The Rolling Stones. I know their famous songs. But that’s about it. I should fix that.
I admit as a long time fan that some Stones albums are hard to get into. 1978’s “Some Girls” is a good one to start with.
