About this album

Slow Rollers shows the Rolling Stones at their most tender and blues-rooted, gathering ballads, slow burners and key early covers from the band’s first decade. Issued in 1981, the compilation draws on material associated with the group’s 1960s rise, when Jagger and Richards were refining a tougher, more characterful answer to American R&B and pop. Songs such as “Time Is On My Side”, “Lady Jane”, “Ruby Tuesday” and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” highlight how effectively the Stones balanced menace with melancholy, and why their slower material became central to their identity rather than a sideline.
