Under My Thumb

"I have to admit that I'm not wild about the songs "Think" and "Lady Jane," especially "Lady Jane." I don't know, maybe there is just a bit too much top sixty like production on "Jane" for me. However, the rest of the record is a knock your socks off, get up and dance type record. Plus, these songs really show off the Jagger/Richards song writing talents. Like my friend Tiffany, I really like "Goin' Home." It's a long and soulful song that moves me. But my favorite on "Aftermath" is "Under My Thumb." I know, as a woman, I shouldn't like that song, but I can't help it, maybe it's because of the kind of revenge aspect of the song. Anyway, I just like it, even though there is no way on God's green earth that I'll ever be under any man's thumb. Five stars for this record, because it's so good, even though I think a couple of the songs are a bit weak."

"Like my friends, I really like the very long, eleven minutes long, "Goin Home." I actually have this song coming right after "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" by Bob Dylan, another eleven minute song, burning onto a CD that I play often when I have a long drive. Just two songs and twenty two minutes have flown by, I feel like I arrived in no time at all, almost like I got there before I left. Somehow I just seem to float along with these two songs, Mick's voice works so well with Mr. Dylan's.
Then there is the rocking and a bit strange "It's Not Easy," which tells us that it's not easy to live on your own, how true. "Lady Jane" is a bit strange, but I like it a lot. "Think," well all I can say about that song is "Wow!" "High and Dry" has such great guitar work on it, kind of reminds me of the guitar work on Bob Dylan's "Desolation Row." Maybe that harmonica is in that song on purpose. And I'd be remiss if I didn't say how much I loved "I Am Waiting" and "Goin" Home." How can anyone not love those songs." Like every record by this band, the Greatest Group on Earth, this record is a keeper."
