Music have done a very nice job re-releasing and remastering
several albums from the Rolling Stones. In this review, I will
concentrate on the last great Stones album to be released,
Tattoo You.
This album
was well received upon its release and has become one of the
‘must own’ records by the band. The album bookends with two of
the most popular songs the band has ever recorded, “Start Me Up”
and “Waiting On A Friend.” While these are great songs, there
are plenty of other moments that, while they did not climb the
charts, make this album special. Keith singing “Little T&A” is
outstanding and “Hang Fire” and “Neighbors” are best when
cranked up to ten.
It is great
to see this CD back on the racks, reminding us of a time when it
was important to buy the album and not just download the
single.
