Album Notes
The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals, harmonica); Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica, keyboards); Keith Richards (guitar); Bill Wyman (bass); Charlie Watts (drums, percussion).
Additional personnel: Jack Nitzsche (keyboards, percussion); Ian Stewart (keyboards, marimba, percussion); J.W. Alexander (percussion).
"Route 66" and "I'm Moving On" were recorded live, all other songs are from studio sessions.
Includes the Stones' second American No. 1 hit, "Get Off Of My Cloud," and "As Tears Go By," a song Jagger and Richards wrote for Marianne Faithful (it was a hit for both Faithful and the Stones).
DECEMBER'S CHILDREN marked a crucial point in the Stones' development. They were beginning to move away from their blues/R&B roots towards something more uniquely their own. Certainly those roots were far from absent in the songs they composed for this album, and they still cover their share of the masters here (Chuck Berry, Arthur Alexander, Hank Snow), but something new was afoot.
The aching ballad "As Tears Go By," complete with baroque orchestration, heralded a new direction in the Stones' songwriting. Similarly, the folk-rockish strains of "The Singer Not The Song" hinted at previously uncharted directions. Perhaps the most crucial track here is "Get Off My Cloud, which, while it incorporates the band's rootsy influences, is posessed of a decidedly modern power that the Stones were only beginning to learn to harness. This was the beginning of a style more specific than pop, blues or rock & roll. DECEMBER'S CHILDREN may be seen as the beginning of what can only be defined as Rolling Stones music.
Industry Reviews
5 (out of 10) - ...collects together the leftovers from the previous releases (best represented by Arthur Alexander's `You Better Move On') plus the glorious `Get Off Of My Cloud', but that's about it...
