Welcome back to Hard Labor and Money Splashes!
We return to our discussion of The Rolling Stones 1983 album Undercover with a look at the songs "Pretty Beat Up" and "Too Tough".
"Pretty Beat Up" is a Ronnie creation, a groove tune maybe best described by Jon as "The Stones playing the Black Lodge" (a reference for any "Twin Peaks" fans who may be listening). David Sanborn guests on sax, and Bill jumps over to electric piano (can you spot him in the mix?)
"Too Tough" takes the patented "Jumpin' Jack Flash" riff out for a new spin. Charlie and Bill are on full attack here, the solo almost skirts with a heavy metal sound, and is Mick referencing Bill a bit in the lyrics?
Give these songs a listen and let us know your thoughts!
