The Stones forsook psychedelic experimentation to return to their blues roots on this celebrated album,
which was immediately acclaimed as one of their landmark achievements.
A strong acoustic Delta blues flavor colors much of the material, particularly "Salt of the Earth" and "No Expectations,"
which features some beautiful slide guitar work. Basic rock & roll was not forgotten, however: "Street Fighting Man,"
a reflection of the political turbulence of 1968, was one of their most innovative singles,
and "Sympathy for the Devil," with its fire-dancing guitar licks, leering Jagger vocals, African rhythms,
and explicitly satanic lyrics, was an image-defining epic. On "Stray Cat Blues," Jagger and crew began
to explore the kind of decadent sexual sleaze that they would take to the point of self-parody by the mid-'70s.
At the time, though, the approach was still fresh, and the lyrical bite of most of the material ensured
Beggars Banquet's place as one of the top blues-based rock records of all time...(AllMusic)
