Goats Head Soup
A humid, decadent drift through mid-tempo funk and weary ballads. The sound of the world's biggest rock band coming down in the Jamaican heat.

A humid, decadent drift through mid-tempo funk and weary ballads. The sound of the world's biggest rock band coming down in the Jamaican heat.
August 31, 1973 · Rolling Stones Records
A heavy, tropical lethargy permeates these ten tracks, capturing a band retreating from basement grit into a slicker, funk-inflected decadence. Recorded in Jamaican exile, the music moves with a slow-motion, heavy-lidded stride where Billy Preston's bubbling clavinet and Bobby Keys' brass create a dense, humid wall of sound. It is a record of the morning after, trading raw blues power for a murky, late-night atmosphere that feels both lush and deeply exhausted.
