Welcome back to Hard Labor and Money Splashes! Our discussion of The Rolling Stones 1983 album Undercover continues as we discuss the last song on side one, "Feel on Baby" and the first song on side two, "Too Much Blood". The Stones had successfully experimented with mixing reggae into their unique brand of rock before ("Luxury" on It's Only Rock-N-Roll, "Cherry Oh Baby" on Black and Blue, "Send It To Me" on Emotional Rescue), and this time they took their experimentation even further, bringing in Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare to join the band on this spooky dub track featuring Mick on some great Chicago blues harp. Side two kicks off with the album's third single, "Too Much Blood", a tasty combination of horn-fueled dance riffs and Mick rapping (!) about Issei Sagawa (also known as "The Kobe Cannibal"), "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and the 1982 Richard Gere/Debra Winger film, "An Officer and a Gentleman"!
