“No rock record, before or since, has ever so completely captured the sense of palpable dread that hung over its era.” – Stephen Davis, biographer.
Let It Bleed was recorded as the 1960s were collapsing.
It drips cool and burns with bluesy hellfire. Gimme Shelter, the best song the Stones ever recorded – it’s a force of nature so powerful comparable to no song released before or after. It begins with a storming howl, then come shouts about murder and rape, throwing away all conventions. Rightfully considered the best albums in The Rolling Stones’ discography. It is part of the holy quartet: Exile on Main St., Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed and Sticky Fingers. November 1968, February–November 1969, Olympic Studios, London, England Released shortly after the band’s 1969 American Tour, it is the last album by the band to feature Brian Jones as well as the first to feature Mick Taylor.
Let It Bleed is the eighth British and tenth American album by The Rolling Stones, released 5th December 1969. “Rape, murder, it’s just a shot away, it’s just a shot away.” Rolling Stones Let it Bleed 1969
