The Rolling Stones' Beggars Banquet is one of the seminal albums in
rock history. Arguably it not only marks the advent of the 'mature'
sound of the Rolling Stones but lays out a new blueprint for an
approach to blues-based rock music that would endure for several
decades. From its title to the dark themes that pervade some of its
songs, Beggars Banquet reflected and helped define a moment marked
by violence, decay, and upheaval. It marked a move away from the
artistic sonic flourishes of psychedelic rock towards an embrace of
foundational streams of American music - blues, country - that had
always underpinned the music of the Stones but assumed new primacy
in their music after 1968. This move coincided with, and
anticipated, the 'roots' moves that many leading popular music
artists made as the 1960s turned toward a new decade; but unlike
many of their peers whose music grew more 'soft' and subdued as
they embraced traditional styles, the music and attitude of the
Stones only grew harder and more menacing, and their status as
representatives of the dark underside of the 60s rock
counterculture assumed new solidity. For the Rolling Stones, the
1960s ended and the 1970s began with the release of this album in
1968.
