thePULSEThe Rolling Stones’ Big “Jump Back”
By Eric WischApril 2004 – Since winning a Grammy Award in 1994 for “Best Rock Album”, the Rolling Stones have produced several new albums with both classic and new hits. Young artists such as the Neptunes and Fatboy Slim have sampled the Rolling Stones music and created new mixes, fashioning new-sprung rhythms with Stones lyrics making the group increasingly popular with today’s young listeners.
The Stones have just released a long anticipated album, “The Best of the Rolling Stones: Jump Back.” Combining all aspects of the Stones artistic and stylistic talents, this album, like all their compilation albums, demonstrates the band’s multifaceted talents, which are rooted in country, R&B, Gospel, and Blues genre music.
For over 40 years, the Stones have stayed on top of the charts. Younger listeners may ask, where did today’s hardcore Stones fans come from and how did they come to like the group’s music so much? “Jump Back” helps younger generations appreciate this quintessential rock and roll group.
This album is packed with classics like “Start Me Up,” the rhythmically bluesy “Brown Sugar,” “Harlem Shuffle,” “Rock and a Hard Place,” the acoustic driven single, “Hot Stuff,” “Bitch,” and the groovy “Undercover of the Night.” The excellent variety of songs make this album a must-buy for the passionate Rolling Stones fan.
