Let It Bleed - The Rolling Stones


Listen Later

This week we dive into Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones, an album that closes out the 1960s with grit, swagger (and Jagger), and more than a little chaos. Blending blues, rock, country, and gospel influences, the record captures a band balancing confidence and darkness at the same time. From apocalyptic visions to stripped-down heartbreak, Let It Bleed feels both grounded and larger than life.

We talk through the iconic tracks, the rough edges that give the album its character, and the moments that still hit decades later. Which songs rise to the top? Which ones leave us wanting more? And how do the best beat and best bar shake out on a record this legendary? And as always, we wrap things up with our latest Songs of the Week.
