Oh, and "I Just Wanna See His Face" is legitimately one of my favorite songs on the album. It's just really unique. |
There ya go. If I didn't have a limitation on how many albums per artist, is still have exile (and let it bleed) on my chart. So I'm with you that it is fantastic.

We have her to thank for co-writing "Sister Morphine," providing the inspiration behind "Wild Horses" and "I Got the Blues," and getting the Stones into a lot of bullshit that would serve as musings for their output. Anyways, this is my second favorite Stones album close on the heels of Exile on Main Street, both of which could easily be in my top 100. |
Refixing... 
Don't forget that the difference between Faithfull's version and the Stone's much better version of "Sister Morphine" is that Faithfull does not appear on the latter. She fought for a songwriting credit on the song because she was broke and homeless...how much she actually contributed is not known. Suspect...especially given her lack of any songwriting credits at all on her own solo albums until the late 1970's. Her inspiration on "Wild Horses" is more rumor than fact (according to Keith). "I Got The Blues" is more of a stylistic nod to Otis Redding than anything or anyone else. Faithfull was, above all, Jagger's girlfriend for a few years and a mess of a drug addict.
Mick Taylor brought the Stones a guitarist who was 10 times the player that Brian Jones was (Jones was more of a multi instrumentalist, and didn't play much guitar at all on his later albums.), which opened doors for Keith Richards to blossom as a player. Taylor's first three albums with the band were Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile...a pretty impressive run. Mick Taylor made Keith Richards a better guitar player, and made a solid impact on one of the best 3 album runs in music history.
I'll take what Taylor did for the band over what Faithfull did to herself any day.

I did some reading on Taylor's break with the Stones and got the definite impression that Richards was threatened by him. Pretty big compliment, right there.
