Out of Our Heads Reviews:
Holy Moly, the Good Times Really Roll Here 
2006-06-11 - If you listen to "Let the Good Times Roll" you'd almost believe you were listening to a Sam Cooke outtake. I loved Sam Cooke's stuff and the bad boys of Rock and Roll really do this song justice. Mick sounds just like a Nineteen Fifty's R & B singer as he croons Bert Russell's "Cry to Me" and Roosevelt Jamison's "That's How Strong My Love Is." However, even though other songs on this record would go on to become enduring Rolling Stones favorites, I have to say that "Hitch Hike" penned by the late Marvin Gaye along with William "Mickey" Stevenson, Motown's first A & R director and singer song writer Clarence Paul is my favorite song on this record. That and Mr. Cooke's song are just wonderful, so if I was you, I'd get this record and as the French say Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez.
Oh Me, Oh My!
2006-06-10 - Have mercy on me because I tell you I just can't get enough of this record. The opening song sets the mood for both the U.S. and the U.K. releases. They are different, though they share six of the same songs out of twelve so you really need both versions. I mean you can get the British stuff on other records, but I like both offerings. The little known "Cry to Me" is my favorite song on the record, but I also love the vastly underrated "Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man." This is early Stones at their best, but then early Stones, current Stones, it makes no difference, they were great back then, they're great now.
The Good Times Just Keep Rolling
2006-06-10 - "Out of Our Heads" was one more huge record for the Rolling Stones in England and it's easy to see why. The songs just seem to work well together, they segue perfectly. Sonny Christy and Roddy Jackson's "She Said Yeah" just seems to slide right on into Don Covay and Ronnie Miller's "Mercy, Mercy," which is my favorite song on a record full of favorite songs. "Heart of Stone and "I'm Free" give us a glimpse of the powerful song writing duo Jagger and Richards would become and Sam Cooke's "Good Times" show us what a great band the Stones were. And just think, they got better.
Bye Bye Nanker Phelge
2006-06-10 - On their earlier records Mick and Keith issued the songs they'd written under the name Nanker Phelge, that stopped with this record, three songs: "Gotta Get Away," "Heart of Stone" and the very excellent "I'm Free," were issued under Mick and Keith's real names, but for some reason they issued just one more song under their pseudonym, "The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man," three minutes and seven seconds of a song I just absolutely love. Also this record marks a turn from singing mostly cover songs to songs written by Mick and Keith. I love these early records, but I love the later stuff too. It's hard to decide with this group because when I'm listening to a song like "Good Times" I think music can't get any better than this, then I listen to "Sticky Fingers" and I know it can. What a great band the Rolling Stones are.
