-Descripcion Original:

DECEMBERS CHILDREN marked a crucial point in the Stones development. The band was beginning to move away from its blues/R&B roots toward something more uniquely its own. Certainly those roots were far from absent in the songs composed for this album, and the Stones 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 hint at previously uncharted directions. Perhaps the most crucial track here is Get Off My Cloud, which, while it incorporates the bands rootsy influences, is possessed 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. DECEMBERS CHILDREN may be seen as the beginning of what can only be defined as Rolling Stones music. Dig how even a tossed-together cash-in by the Stones U.S. label--the groups third American album of 1965--ends up smoking like all but their very best. They invent thrash with the opener, She Said Yeah (a Specialty Records obscurity penned, under a pseudonym, by Sonny Bono!) before laying down a leering Talkin Bout You, a frenetic Im Movin On and their most consistent, varied list of originals yet. Dig, too, how even As Tears Go By sounds like a sneer in the midst of Get Off of My Cloud, Gotta Get Away, Im Free and the dourly off-key Blue Turns to Grey. --Rickey Wright
