The Rolling Stones Is An English Rock Band Formed In London In 1962. Active For Six Decades They Are One Of The Most Popular And Enduring Bands Of The Rock Era. In The Early 1960s The Rolling Stones Pioneered The Gritty Rhythmically Driven Sound That Came To Define Hard Rock. Their First Stable Line-Up Consisted Of Vocalist Mick Jagger Multi-Instrumentalist Brian Jones Guitarist Keith Richards Bassist Bill Wyman And Drummer Charlie Watts. During Their Formative Years Jones Was The Primary Leader He Assembled The Band Named It Got Them Gigs And Drove Their Sound And Image. After Andrew Loog Oldham Became The Group's Manager In 1963 He Encouraged Them To Write Their Own Songs. Jagger And Richards Became The Primary Creative Force Behind The Band Alienating Jones Who Had Developed A Drug Addiction That Interfered With His Ability To Contribute Meaningfully. Rooted In Blues And Early Rock And Roll The Rolling Stones Started Out Playing Covers And Were At The Forefront Of The British Invasion In 1964 Becoming Identified With The Youthful And Rebellious Counterculture Of The 1960s. They Then Found Greater Success With Their Own Material As " I Can't Get No Satisfaction" 1965 "Get Off Of My Cloud" 1965 And "Paint It Black" 1966 Became International Number-One Hits. Aftermath 1966 – Their First Entirely Original Album – Is Considered By The Daily Telegraph To Be The Most Important Of Their Formative Records. In 1967 They Had The Double-Sided Hit "Ruby Tuesday"/"Let's Spend The Night Together" And Experimented With Psychedelic Rock On Their Satanic Majesties Request. They Returned To Their Rhythm And Blues Roots With Hit Songs Such As "Jumpin' Jack Flash" 1968 And "Honky Tonk Women" 1969 And Albums Such As Beggars Banquet 1968 Featuring "Sympathy For The Devil" And Let It Bleed 1969 Featuring "You Can't Always Get What You Want" And "Gimme Shelter". Let It Bleed Was The First Of Five Consecutive Number-One Albums In The UK. Jones Left The Band Shortly Before His Death In 1969 Having Been Replaced By Guitarist Mick Taylor.

Frogtoon Music Album Info: Voodoo Lounge

Voodoo Lounge Is The 20th Studio Album By The Rolling Stones Released In July 1994. As Their First New Release Under Their New Alliance With Virgin Records It Ended A Five-Year Gap Since Their Last Studio Album Steel Wheels In 1989. Voodoo Lounge Is Also The Rolling Stones' First Album Without Founding Bassist Bill Wyman Who Departed The Line-Up In Early 1993. In 2009 Voodoo Lounge Was Remastered And Reissued By Universal Music.
Following The Release Of Keith Richards' Main Offender And Mick Jagger's Wandering Spirit In 1992 And 1993 Respectively Both Leaders Of The Rolling Stones Began Composing New Songs In April 1993 Deciding Upon Don Was As Co-Producer For The Upcoming Sessions. In November After Rehearsing And Recording At Ronnie Wood's House In Ireland That September The Rolling Stones Shifted Their Gear To Windmill Lane Studios In Dublin And Began Cutting Voodoo Lounge. Although Not Joining The Band Officially Darryl Jones Would Be Taking Bill Wyman's Place As The Group's Regular Bassist. After A Period Of Recording In Los Angeles In The First Few Months Of 1994 Voodoo Lounge Was Complete And The Rolling Stones Moved Onto The Rehearsals For The Yet Another Massive Worldwide Voodoo Lounge Tour Which Would Begin In August. "Love Is Strong" - Which Was Inspired By Richards' Solo "Wicked As It Seems" - Was Released As The First Single Reaching #14 In The UK. However Although "Love Is Strong" Was A Hit On US Rock Radio It Stalled On The Overall US Singles Charts At #91 And At Least In The US Became The Rolling Stones' Worst Performing Lead Single From An Album To That Time. Two Follow-Up US Singles Also Received Strong Rock Radio Airplay But Failed To Cross Over Into Top 40 Hits "Out Of Tears" Peaked At #60 And "You Got Me Rocking" Fared Even Worse Peaking At #113. Consequently Voodoo Lounge Would Be The First Rolling Stones Album To Not Produce Significant Hits In America. In The UK Meanwhile "Love Is Strong" "You Got Me Rocking" "Out Of Tears" And "I Go Wild" Were All Top 40 Chart Hits. Released In July 1994 Voodoo Lounge Received Strong Reviews And Debuted At #1 In The UK Their First Chart-Topper There Since 1980's Emotional Rescue And #2 In The US Where It Went Double Platinum. Producer Don Was—noted For His Retro Rock Production Sensibilities—was Reportedly Responsible For Pushing The Band Towards More Conventional Territory In An Attempt To Reproduce The Archetypal "Rolling Stones" Sound And Moving Them Away From The Rockabilly And African Grooves They Had Reportedly Been Leaning On During The Writing And Early Recording Phases Of Voodoo Lounge. The Result Was An Essentially Classicist Recording That Drew On The Blues R&B And Country That Had Informed The Stones Classic Late 1960s/early 1970s Recordings. Although This Approach Pleased Critics And The Stones Rock-Oriented Fanbase Jagger In Particular Expressed Some Dissatisfaction With Was' Aesthetic And Would Insist On A More Diverse Contemporary Production Cast For The Subsequent Bridges To Babylon. Nevertheless Was Who Has Produced Several Grammy-Winning Records Remains The Stones Producer To This Day. In Early 1995 While The Voodoo Lounge Tour Was Still In Full Force Not Finishing Until August That Year Voodoo Lounge Won The Grammy Award For Best Rock Album.
