Sticky Fingers
Ten tracks of druggy, high-fashion blues and country-rock. A masterpiece of analog warmth that balances aggressive brass with fragile, string-laden comedowns.

A thick, drug-weary decadence hangs over these ten tracks, capturing a band that has traded raw rebellion for a sophisticated, late-night isolation. The sonic landscape feels heavy and humid, allowing Mick Taylor's fluid, expressive lead guitar to weave seamlessly through a dense, brass-accented pocket. It is a record of stark dualities, where the swagger of the street-level rock star sits uncomfortably close to fragile, desolate acoustic ballads that sound entirely untethered from the world.
