About this album

Let It Bleed is a towering blues-rock statement from The Rolling Stones, sharpening the band’s swagger into something darker, heavier and more emotionally charged. Arriving in 1969, it followed a turbulent period and helped define the group’s late-’60s peak, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones-era tensions feeding into its raw edge. The album blends country, blues and gospel colours across landmark songs including Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler and You Can’t Always Get What You Want, while guest players such as Ry Cooder and Al Kooper broaden its sound. Widely regarded as one of the Stones’ essential albums, it remains a key touchstone of classic rock.
