Haven't heard this album except for the tracks played on the radio for quite awhile so enjoyed listening with you this morning, Crystal! Hope you have a great weekend!
Hey there my kind friend! ❤️🧡🫶 So wonderful to see you here and be able to share this first listen along side you! This is a special treat when it’s a first for both of us ESPECIALLY when the material is this amazing! Which was your favorite so far??? ✨ Sending my love!
@@CrystalMarieShannon hard to say which is my favorite, the first and last tracks I've heard more times as they are the ones played on the radio. I see you enjoyed "Love In Vain". That's actually a song by a Mississippi blues artist that was recorded in the 1930s. He was influential and his songs have been covered a number of times. Of the course the Stones added their style to it. If you ever want to hear the original search "Robert Johnson Love In Vain"

Hope ya do Exile On Main Street in the not-too-distant future! That's usually where folks cut off the run of unimpeachable classics; such a magical album, easy to argue it's the pinnacle of everything they were trying to do. Folk rock driven as far as it can go out into the fringes of rock n' roll, hard rock, and psychedelia.
@@CrystalMarieShannonCan't wait! No rush of course. It'd be fitting to do it after you've finished Physical Graffiti; it's another consistently amazing double-length odyssey through Americana, so it can ease the pain of that album being over like few things can (And if you're still yearning, there's always London Calling as well).
Hi Crystal! You're making my day with this reaction. The Stones were the bad boys of rock when this album was released. They were the band your parents didn't want you to listen to. It's funny, all these years later, it's rightly seen as an artistic triumph yet was looked down on by the establishment. I guess time really was on their side! Fantastic album and great reaction, cheers!
@@CrystalMarieShannon Sorry but this is not completely true. The Beatles recorded Let it Be in January 1969 months before The Stones began recording Let it Bleed, then The Beatles put the project on the shelf and released the album after Abbey Road in April 1970. Stones and Beatles knew of each other's work well in the 60's, the Stones knew of Let it Be. "I roll a stoney, where you can immediate everyone you know" - The Beatles, I Dig A Pony, from the Let it Be album.
Great reaction to a great album! Country Honk is like an alternate version of the big hit (single release) Honky Tonk Women which was much more a straight ahead rock song. The Stones do quite a bit of country style songs (which isn't my fav style) but the more you hear them, the more they grow on you (Mick and Keith do great country harmonies).
The Country Honk was actually written first! I think they switched up to a more rock version for their single release of "Honky Tonk Women", but they came back to it for this album and recorded it like it was written.
Ms. Shannon listens to the world's greatest rock band. They earned that title. At their best, Jagger and Richards rivaled Lennon and McCartney in songwriting. And live--no question, particularly during the Mick Taylor period. Band is STILL TOURING, namely, this year.
@@CrystalMarieShannon if you are looking for more Grateful Dead to review, they have an album celebrating its 50th anniversary. From the Mars Hotel. Check it out.

This is great album, probably the Stones at their height. The country feel was probably due to their friendship with Gram Parsons. It was the best line-up when Mick Taylor left the band it was never the same.
Sadly Gram Parson (The Pioneer of Country-Rock ) died in 1973 of a drug overdose., Speaking of Mick Taylor many fans say that the Mick Taylor Era was the best. That has been a debate since 1969 after Brian Jones died of a drug overdose in 1969.
Mick Taylor had little to nothing to do with Let It Bleed (1969). He came in toward the end, and only plays on two of the album’s songs: “Country Honk” and “Live With Me.”
@@dekk640 I wholeheartedly agree. During this late session work, “Honky Tonk Women” was born, as well, and look at what he did in transforming the group into a dynamic, live powerhouse? 1969 North American Tour elevated the Stones to unforeseen heights (especially after such a long touring hiatus). The group would progressively get better as they loosened the shackles on Taylor.
oh wow! that is some high praise right there for sure! ❤️ so glad we got to listen to this side together and can’t wait to get to side II! 🧡 hope you are having a magnificent day!
@@gregmoon7205 No big deal, it is fun trivia with us music nuts and it made me look to check and see..I assumed it was only J & R credited and I dont think they ever had a third credit for anyone like Lennon McCartney never did until they had one that was credited to the whole band - Flying I think it was from MM Tour
I swear I heard Leon say he co-wrote that song, but it was probably my prejudice for Leon’s genius. I apologize for the misinformation. Leon is my favorite musician, but that doesn’t excuse my mistake. Thanks for your input and patience!
The 'fiddle' on Country Honk was played by the late, lamented Byron Berline, who was famous in his own right. Country Honk is also the precursor of the much better known 'Honky Tonk Women'.

Happy Easter, Crystal! Sending love and light to you and your family. There are different tiers of pop and rock music greatness. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are in the top tier. The Rolling Stones are my Uncle Paul’s favorite band and he has seen them in concert many times. He also has many of their albums and that’s how I discovered many of them. They are always compared to The Beatles and it’s a never-ending debate. Who’s better? For me, I need them both. My preference is Beatles because they are my absolute favorite band, but I look at The Beatles and Rolling Stones like “The Godfather” and “Goodfellas”. One is a more eclectic version and presents life in a more idealistic way while other is more black-and-white, stripped-down, grittiness. “Gimme Shelter”-One of the best potboilers ever to open an album. This song was used in a lot of movie trailers during the 1990s. Merry Clayton makes the song. This one still gets a lot of airplay on the radio. “Love In Vain”-I love the sound of that electric 12-string. Beautiful. There’s a lot of foreshadowing in this album. This song foreshadows “Wild Horses”. Trust me, when you get to that one, you will fall in love with it. “Country Honk”-Not to be confused with “Honky Tonk Women” which was a single. My guess is they were in a honky tonk mood and it was decided that this song should be on the album. “Live With Me”-This one foreshadows “Brown Sugar”. The guitar riffs, the drums, Mick’s vocals. Quintessential Rolling Stones. “Let It Bleed”-John Lennon said in the early 1970s that he thought The Rolling Stones were copycats of The Beatles. They did “As Tears Go By” after “Yesterday”. They made the “Their Satanic Majesties Request” album which was their brief foray into psychedelic rock and Lennon thought it was a ripoff of “Sgt. Pepper”. And he thought “Let It Bleed” was a ripoff of “Let It Be”. Now, it should be noted that this was shortly after the Beatles breakup and at the time John had a huge chip on his shoulder, was going through primal therapy, and his opinion doesn’t mean I agree with him. Musically, The Beatles and Rolling Stones are about equal. Culturally, The Beatles were and are superior. They also influenced Mick and Keith to write their own songs. After The Beatles broke up, The Rolling Stones carried on into the 1970s. Music was changing and things were about to get heavier. It often gets maligned, but I highly recommend listening to “Their Satanic Majesties Request”. I admit that it definitely sounds like what I call “Corporal Pepper”. 🤪 However, it does have a few good songs on it especially “She’s A Rainbow”. Last but not least, since it will be the 50th anniversary of the album, “Walls and Bridges” by John Lennon. His first solo album without Yoko on it although she is featured in many of the songs. There are some great tracks on it that I know you’ll love. Take care and Happy Easter Weekend! 🐣 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🎶🎶🎶
Happiest of all Easter’s to you Jeff! ❤️ Sending love, light and millions of prayers your way! You are such a bright light and I am so grateful for you! I am extremely lucky to be able to learn from your insights! ✨ Thank you for sharing this with me! You’re the best!

Crystal, a lot of naysayers (not here) say that Exile is the last great album. But if you listen to Some Girls, you'll know that is not the case. That album has everything essential about the Stones in it - the funk, country, and even punk in it. The Stones got challenged by the punk movement happening in 77, and got inspired again. It is the hungriest I've ever seen the Stones as they had something to prove. Definitely worth a future listen Crystal.
You've Got the Silver is one of those songs that belongs in the top 5 list of deep cut album songs. This was from 1969, the year the Beatles broke up and The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and The Who took the reigns.
Well, Crystal, you definitely picked a great album to cover here. "Peak Stones" would be, I'd say, from roughly 1967-1973. Which, really, is Peak Classic Rock: An absurd, nay, miraculous amount of brilliant rock music was seemingly effortlessly churned out during that era by an apparently inexhaustible number of excellent bands. Most of them inspired directly by the greatest of all, The Beatles. The Stones definitely being one. As you likely know, they had a friendly rivalry. Side Two awaits! "Sticky Fingers" and "Beggars Banquet" are two other "musts" from this "Peak" period. Earlier and later Stones albums have some great songs, but THIS period has GREAT-NESS.
Wow!!! I am so happy to have entered the journey through the Stones music at their “greatness” era! 🩶🤍🖤 I have heard lots of wonderful things about TRS and I truly enjoyed this side so much and am so excited to get to side II really soon! 🩶 Today we covered the 2nd Side of Red Rose Speedway! I would love to hear your thoughts on this one! ruclips.net/video/b8dnyxt5J98/видео.htmlsi=Ta1I6rQfrq58cxaj
Love the Stones since I was a kid. Just curious. Jagger sings in such an exaggerated country southern bluesy drawl. We're used to it. We accept it. It's Stonesy. All good. I've never heard an American singing in a fake cockney accent.. Oh wait. Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins... Yep. As you were.
Haha thanks for this connection! I am not sure if I ever watched Mary Poppins, if I did I must’ve been too young to remember! I need to go watch it now! I hope you have the most amazing weekend 🤍 sending lots of love your way and hoping you enjoy our newest vid: ruclips.net/video/pf1OSkOvpzU/видео.htmlsi=KJvPO50vzE-g5yZl
You're up early. I'm assuming you're in the States. Dick's accent is widely regarded as one of the worst accents in cinema history. "Gawd bless yer Mary Pawpins" I would love to hear you have a crack at a cockney accent during a video. NUMERO QUATRO GUVNOR. Bless you.
It's hard for me to pick a favorite Stones album. Their run of albums from Their Satanic Majesty's Request to Goat's Head Soup is fantastic so it's hard to choose. Exile has my favorite Stones, Tumbling Dice, but Sticky Fingers I could listen to in its entirety on repeat. It also has my 2nd favorite Stones song, Dead Flowers.
@CrystalShannon4 Probably Gimmie Shelter, but my favorite bassline by the Stones is Live With Me. It was not played by bassist Bill Wyman but by Keith Richards. Keith Richards plays the majority of the guitars on this album because Brian Jones was fired early on (he's on two songs) and his replacement Mick Taylor, was hired near the end and also only appears on two tracks. Country Honk is an interesting story. This is copy/pasted from Wikipedia: "Country Honk" is a country version of "Honky Tonk Women", recorded before it but released five months later on the album Let It Bleed (1969). As noted above, the country arrangement was the original concept of "Honky Tonk Women". Richards has maintained that "Country Honk" is how "Honky Tonk Women" was originally written. "Country Honk" was recorded at Olympic Studios. Byron Berline played the fiddle on the track, and has said that Gram Parsons was responsible for him being chosen for the job (Berline had previously recorded with Parsons' band the Flying Burrito Brothers). Producer Glyn Johns suggested that Berline should record his part on the pavement outside the studio to add ambiance to the number. Sam Cutler, the Rolling Stones' tour manager, performed the car horn at the beginning of the track.[15] Nanette Workman performs backing vocals on this version (although the album sleeve credits actress Nanette Newman). Berline's fiddle and all vocals were recorded at Elektra. There is a bootleg recording in existence that contains neither the fiddle nor Mick Taylor's slide guitar.
@@steelers6titles RIP Gram, a month and a half short of joining the 27 club. I may only have one album with him on it, The Byrds Sweetheart of the Rodeo.
I’m only SLIGHTLY surprised that YOU are surprised by the swing in genre these boys embraced. They had sorta “forecasted” it for a while. But this is kinda the inherent danger (if that’s a ‘thing’) of evaluating TRS in a narrow context. If a historian considers their early influences, averages in their “American” experiences (as a band), factors in their contemporary collaborations, and then mixes drugs into the equation-this album starts to make good sense. lol. On a more controversial note: sometimes I wish they had another vocal for SOME tracks. I’m not hating on Mick and I’m not denying his leadership, but just like “Have A Cigar” (PF, for the uninitiated out here), a track or two might go from “good” to “legendary” if they apply a slightly different vocal to it. Buuuuut… I’m quibbling. Love you ❤ I’m sorry I’m poor right now but that’s all I’ll say about that 😎
Hey there Paul! 💜 I’m definitely glad to be getting into some more Rolling Stones material after this! And the inclusion of a different vocal would absolutely be interesting! I am still very new to this influential band and curious to hear more of what they got in store! 💜 Thank you so much for being here, as always I am sending all of my love right over to you and keeping you in all my of prayers and in my heart! ❤️
Well, there is another vocal for some tracks starting in this period: Keith Richards. One of the great things about the Stones has always been Keith’s backing vocals, but here (on Let It Bleed), he sings his first entire lead vocal on “You Got the Silver,” and he has maintained getting at least one lead vocal on almost every Stones release since Let It Bleed (minus It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll, and Black and Blue; he does sing a duet with Mick on the latter, however. He also sings co-lead on “Something Happened to Me Yesterday” from 1967.).

1) It's actually Good Friday, not Rolling Stones day. I hope your Easter celebrations are proper. 2) If you can't understand the meaning of a Stones lyric, it's safe to infer a sexual innuendo or double entendre. 3) I think Love in Vain is a cover song...written by an old blues guy.

I totally agree
Happy Easter, Crystal! Sending love and light to you and your family. There are different tiers of pop and rock music greatness. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are in the top tier.
The Rolling Stones are my Uncle Paul’s favorite band and he has seen them in concert many times. He also has many of their albums and that’s how I discovered many of them.
They are always compared to The Beatles and it’s a never-ending debate. Who’s better? For me, I need them both.

“Gimme Shelter”-One of the best potboilers ever to open an album. This song was used in a lot of movie trailers during the 1990s. Merry Clayton makes the song. This one still gets a lot of airplay on the radio.
“Love In Vain”-I love the sound of that electric 12-string. Beautiful. There’s a lot of foreshadowing in this album. This song foreshadows “Wild Horses”. Trust me, when you get to that one, you will fall in love with it.

It often gets maligned, but I highly recommend listening to “Their Satanic Majesties Request”. I admit that it definitely sounds like what I call “Corporal Pepper”. 🤪 However, it does have a few good songs on it especially “She’s A Rainbow”.
Last but not least, since it will be the 50th anniversary of the album, “Walls and Bridges” by John Lennon. His first solo album without Yoko on it although she is featured in many of the songs. There are some great tracks on it that I know you’ll love.
Take care and Happy Easter Weekend! 🐣

The car horn in Country Honk was an actual car horn outside while they were recording.
In the back album-cover photo, the pancake-tire-clock-cake is ruined. The only little figure left standing upright is Keith. He's still going strong.
Love in Vain

love it!
@@CrystalMarieShannon The band returned to basics for that one. Ravaged and beautiful lyrics.
Crystal, a lot of naysayers (not here) say that Exile is the last great album. But if you listen to Some Girls, you'll know that is not the case. That album has everything essential about the Stones in it - the funk, country, and even punk in it. The Stones got challenged by the punk movement happening in 77, and got inspired again. It is the hungriest I've ever seen the Stones as they had something to prove. Definitely worth a future listen Crystal.
The last really great Stones LP is Goats Head Soup. Some Girls and Tattoo You are just excellent.
You've Got the Silver is one of those songs that belongs in the top 5 list of deep cut album songs. This was from 1969, the year the Beatles broke up and The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and The Who took the reigns.
They may have taken the reins but never the reigns
Cool review. Stones bigger than all the others.
Nice! I love this one.
thank you so much! ❤️🧡 I really enjoyed listening to this one!
Well, Crystal, you definitely picked a great album to cover here. "Peak Stones" would be, I'd say, from roughly 1967-1973. Which, really, is Peak Classic Rock: An absurd, nay, miraculous amount of brilliant rock music was seemingly effortlessly churned out during that era by an apparently inexhaustible number of excellent bands. Most of them inspired directly by the greatest of all, The Beatles. The Stones definitely being one. As you likely know, they had a friendly rivalry. Side Two awaits! "Sticky Fingers" and "Beggars Banquet" are two other "musts" from this "Peak" period. Earlier and later Stones albums have some great songs, but THIS period has GREAT-NESS.
Wow!!! I am so happy to have entered the journey through the Stones music at their “greatness” era! 🩶🤍🖤 I have heard lots of wonderful things about TRS and I truly enjoyed this side so much and am so excited to get to side II really soon! 🩶
Today we covered the 2nd Side of Red Rose Speedway! I would love to hear your thoughts on this one! ruclips.net/video/b8dnyxt5J98/видео.htmlsi=Ta1I6rQfrq58cxaj
I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
Love the Stones since I was a kid. Just curious. Jagger sings in such an exaggerated country southern bluesy drawl. We're used to it. We accept it. It's Stonesy. All good. I've never heard an American singing in a fake cockney accent.. Oh wait. Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins... Yep. As you were.
Haha thanks for this connection! I am not sure if I ever watched Mary Poppins, if I did I must’ve been too young to remember! I need to go watch it now! I hope you have the most amazing weekend 🤍 sending lots of love your way and hoping you enjoy our newest vid: ruclips.net/video/pf1OSkOvpzU/видео.htmlsi=KJvPO50vzE-g5yZl
You're up early. I'm assuming you're in the States. Dick's accent is widely regarded as one of the worst accents in cinema history. "Gawd bless yer Mary Pawpins" I would love to hear you have a crack at a cockney accent during a video. NUMERO QUATRO GUVNOR.
Bless you.
Jagger & Richards (the glimmer twins) are an unbelievably talented...
It's hard for me to pick a favorite Stones album. Their run of albums from Their Satanic Majesty's Request to Goat's Head Soup is fantastic so it's hard to choose. Exile has my favorite Stones, Tumbling Dice, but Sticky Fingers I could listen to in its entirety on repeat. It also has my 2nd favorite Stones song, Dead Flowers.
Gimme shelter is a timeless wonder... But yes, this album is great. Great reaction.
My choice as their best album.
wow! that’s awesome! i’m glad we got to cover it and excited to hear the rest! which is your favorite track?
@CrystalShannon4 Probably Gimmie Shelter, but my favorite bassline by the Stones is Live With Me. It was not played by bassist Bill Wyman but by Keith Richards.
Keith Richards plays the majority of the guitars on this album because Brian Jones was fired early on (he's on two songs) and his replacement Mick Taylor, was hired near the end and also only appears on two tracks.
Country Honk is an interesting story. This is copy/pasted from Wikipedia:
"Country Honk" is a country version of "Honky Tonk Women", recorded before it but released five months later on the album Let It Bleed (1969). As noted above, the country arrangement was the original concept of "Honky Tonk Women". Richards has maintained that "Country Honk" is how "Honky Tonk Women" was originally written.
"Country Honk" was recorded at Olympic Studios. Byron Berline played the fiddle on the track, and has said that Gram Parsons was responsible for him being chosen for the job (Berline had previously recorded with Parsons' band the Flying Burrito Brothers). Producer Glyn Johns suggested that Berline should record his part on the pavement outside the studio to add ambiance to the number. Sam Cutler, the Rolling Stones' tour manager, performed the car horn at the beginning of the track.[15] Nanette Workman performs backing vocals on this version (although the album sleeve credits actress Nanette Newman). Berline's fiddle and all vocals were recorded at Elektra. There is a bootleg recording in existence that contains neither the fiddle nor Mick Taylor's slide guitar.
@@johncampbell756 Gram and Keith Richards became very close friends. "Wild Horses", the band's best ballad, was Parsons-influenced.
@@steelers6titles RIP Gram, a month and a half short of joining the 27 club. I may only have one album with him on it, The Byrds Sweetheart of the Rodeo.
Keith lends his voice to "You Got The Silver".
Crystal, did you ever think about reacting to We Are the World? You could share it without fear of getting blocked.
I’m only SLIGHTLY surprised that YOU are surprised by the swing in genre these boys embraced. They had sorta “forecasted” it for a while. But this is kinda the inherent danger (if that’s a ‘thing’) of evaluating TRS in a narrow context. If a historian considers their early influences, averages in their “American” experiences (as a band), factors in their contemporary collaborations, and then mixes drugs into the equation-this album starts to make good sense. lol. On a more controversial note: sometimes I wish they had another vocal for SOME tracks. I’m not hating on Mick and I’m not denying his leadership, but just like “Have A Cigar” (PF, for the uninitiated out here), a track or two might go from “good” to “legendary” if they apply a slightly different vocal to it. Buuuuut… I’m quibbling. Love you ❤ I’m sorry I’m poor right now but that’s all I’ll say about that 😎
Hey there Paul! 💜 I’m definitely glad to be getting into some more Rolling Stones material after this! And the inclusion of a different vocal would absolutely be interesting! I am still very new to this influential band and curious to hear more of what they got in store! 💜 Thank you so much for being here, as always I am sending all of my love right over to you and keeping you in all my of prayers and in my heart! ❤️
Well, there is another vocal for some tracks starting in this period: Keith Richards. One of the great things about the Stones has always been Keith’s backing vocals, but here (on Let It Bleed), he sings his first entire lead vocal on “You Got the Silver,” and he has maintained getting at least one lead vocal on almost every Stones release since Let It Bleed (minus It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll, and Black and Blue; he does sing a duet with Mick on the latter, however. He also sings co-lead on “Something Happened to Me Yesterday” from 1967.).

The Sixties were OVER.
La próxima stiky fingers porfa.
you should do the songs entirely with breaks that would be better
Supertramp
Crisis what Crisis
1) It's actually Good Friday, not Rolling Stones day. I hope your Easter celebrations are proper.
2) If you can't understand the meaning of a Stones lyric, it's safe to infer a sexual innuendo or double entendre.
3) I think Love in Vain is a cover song...written by an old blues guy.
