History

Goats Head Soup was recorded as a reaction to the raw and ragged Exile on Main St. and as a result was a more mellow offering, reflecting the musical environment of its time - in this case, the resurgence of soul-pop and the rise of funk, while maintaining their distinctive rock sound and hazy production. This would also be the last Rolling Stones album produced by Jimmy Miller, who had worked with the band since 1968's Beggars Banquet, due to exhaustion and, reportedly, a spiralling heroin addiction. Aside from the official band members, other musicians appearing on Goats Head Soup include keyboard players Billy Preston, Nicky Hopkins, and unofficial member Ian Stewart. Jimmy Miller (1944-1994) was a Brooklyn-born record producer who produced albums for The Spencer Davis Group (in fact, he co-wrote the song Gimme Some Lovin with Steve Winwood), Traffic , Blind Faith, Bobby Whitlock and The Rolling Stones (all albums from Beggars Banquet to Goats Head Soup), New...

The album is best known for its lead single, "Angie". Although it was a departure for The Rolling Stones as a ballad, it nonetheless sailed to #1 in the US and became a worldwide hit. Contrary to popular belief, the song was not about David Bowie's first wife Angela, but Richards' lover Anita Pallenberg. Many years after its release, Keith Richard's daughter with Pallenberg, Dandelion, would rename herself Angela after the song.

Despite its laid-back sound, many of Goats Head Soup's songs have a darker quality to them, whether through opener "Dancing With Mr. D" (D as in Death); the Top 20 US hit "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)", a rare political song criticizing the New York police for the accidental shooting of a ten-year-old they claimed they had mistaken for a bank robber; or the band's infamous tribute to groupies, "Star Star" — perhaps The Rolling Stones' sleaziest rocker. The New York City Police Department (NYPD) , the largest police department in the United States, has primary responsibility for law enforcement and investigation within the five boroughs of New York City. ...

The sessions for Goats Head Soup were abundant with outtakes, two of which, "Tops" and "Waiting on a Friend", would surface on Tattoo You in 1981, and feature Mick Taylor on guitar.

Released in late August, Goats Head Soup shot to #1 worldwide in time for The Rolling Stones' fall 1973 European Tour, where three slots in the set list were given to the new material. While it is generally considered to lack the energy and spark of their last few releases, the album has endured as a popular seller and has gone triple platinum in the US.
