Shattered
Some Girls is the last great album made by the Rolling Stones. Some Girls begins with disco (“Miss You”) and ends on punk (“Shattered”).
Yet both, like everything in between, sound like prime Stone grooves
“Just My Imagination” is the best Stones cover of a Motown song in their long history spent mining that familiar soul and early rock-and-roll territory.But their “Just My Imagination” is sheer beauty, in part because unlike many of those it doesn’t sound like Mick & Co. mimicking the Temps, or Smokey, or Stevie.
It sounds like the Rolling Stones paying tribute to a favorite anthem of unrequited love, while sounding like themselves, and rendered lovingly while doing so.
Some Girls is a tight, spiky, ten-song, forty-minute affair.
Straight bangers, no mash.
For the first time in ten years, the Stones produced a complete album with nearly only their core-five lineup, eschewing their evolving cast of ace session-playing characters who either died (Gram Parsons), fell out of favor (Bobby Keys), or were deemed unnecessary (Ian Stewart, Nicky Hopkins) for this guitar-centric outing.
The cover design was challenged legally when Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Liza Minnelli (representing her mother Judy Garland), Raquel Welch, and the estate of Marilyn Monroe threatened to sue for the use of their likenesses without permission.
