Route 66
Honest I Do
I'm A King Bee

1. I Just Want To Make Love To You
2. Honest I Do
3. Tell Me

I suppose these maed me biggest impression when I first time heard the alum, and proably still are about my favourites:

1. "I Just Want to Make Love to You" - this is probably their most original version of a blues classic ever. Simply genious arrangement. It somehow represents the young and energetic Rolling Stones so well.

2. "Mona" - the performance is simply stunning, as a recording and sonically it hadn't aged a cent; Brian's rhythm guitar sounds still so exciting, and Mick's vocals so thick and strong, full of edge. The atmosphere has a nice mysterious feel in it.

3. "Tell Me" - Of course, a pure pop number, thats is, a total oddity in that rootsy context, but who can resist the charm of this first Jagger/Richard original? Mick and Keith's voices together has that natural chemisty going on. They simply sound great alraedy in this track: Jagger's dark voice actually has strange aggressive depth and edge that drives this number way outside the light pop realm, and Keith's back vox had that nice loose feel.
