Oh My, Have Mercy

"Have mercy on me because I tell you I just can't get enough of this record. The opening song sets the mood for both the U.S. and the U.K. releases. They are different, though they share six of the same songs out of twelve so you really need both versions. I mean you can get the British stuff on other records, but I like both offerings. The little known "Cry to Me" is my favorite song on the record, but I also love the vastly underrated "Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man." This is early Stones at their best, but then early Stones, current Stones, it makes no difference, they were great back then, they're great now."

Satisfaction Guaranteed

""Out of Our Heads" became the Rolling Stones first number one record in the United States and it's easy to see why. "Satisfaction" is just simply one of the greatest Rock and Roll songs ever recorded. I've heard it said that back then Mick said that he didn't want to be forty and still singing that song. Well, guess what, he's over sixty and I just saw him sing it at the Super Bowl. Rolling Stone Magazine has declared this the 114th best record of all time, it's that good. If you don't own this record you should get in now, you'll love it and it comes with a warranty, Satisfaction Guaranteed."

Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez

"If you listen to "Let the Good Times Roll" you'd almost believe you were listening to a Sam Cooke outtake. I loved Sam Cooke's stuff and the bad boys of Rock and Roll really do this song justice. Mick sounds just like a Nineteen Fifty's R & B singer as he croons Bert Russell's "Cry to Me" and Roosevelt Jamison's "That's How Strong My Love Is." However, even though other songs on this record would go on to become enduring Rolling Stones favorites, I have to say that "Hitch Hike" penned by the late Marvin Gaye along with William "Mickey" Stevenson, Motown's first A & R director and singer song writer Clarence Paul is my favorite song on this record. That and Mr. Cooke's song are just wonderful, so if I was you, I'd get this record and as the French say Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez."
