“Let It Bleed”. Epic album by the Rolling Stones, released in 1969. Widely regarded as one of their greatest works, it had all the good stuff; rock, blues, and country, and marked a shift towards a raw-er sound compared to their previous work.
Tracks like “Gimme Shelter,” a powerful song with a haunting vocal by Merry Clayton and tracks like “Midnight Rambler,” and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” which became one of their most enduring and popular songs.
It’s an essential album of the late 1960s, reflecting the turbulent cultural and political climate of the era. Raw and emotive that had the cover art of a cake with figurines of the band members and other imagery, another iconic symbol in rock history.
