Rolling Stones, Tumbling Dice (1972).

[via Wikipedia]

It seems that re-releasing great albums could be as lucrative as producing new ones. Waiting for new great stuff (although it looks like record companies are not ready for it), we can remember and relisten old masterpieces. And that's the case of Exile on Main St.

[via Taringa VISIT THIS LINK. THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT IMAGES FROM ALL THE AGES OF THE STONES!!!]

The erratic evasion of the Rolling Stones from taxes and from themselves (both unsuccessful) leaded them to France where they start the recording of this album. Improvisation is an educated word to describe what they did. In fact it was chaotic. But the songs and the sound are the most sought after of rock history. 


A mythic recording and album that we can now hear. Again.

Rolling Stones - Hipshake & Tumbling Dice 1972 

Studio versions (Released on 'Exile On Main Street')

1. Hipshake 

I wanna tell you 'bout a dance 

That's goin' around, 

Everybody's doin' it 

From the grownups down. 

Don't move your head, 

Don't move your hands, 

Don't move your lips, 

Just shake your hips. 

Do the hip shake, babe, 

Do the hip shake, babe, 

Shake your hip, babe, 

Shake your hip, babe. 

What you don't know 

Don't be afraid 

Just listen to me 

And do what I say. 

Don't move your head, 

Don't move your hands, 

Don't move your lips, 

Just shake your hips. 

Do the hip shake, babe, 

Do the hip shake, babe, 

Shake your hip, babe, 

Shake your hip, babe, 

Well ain't that easy 

2. Tumbling Dice 

Women think I'm tasty, 

but they're always tryin' to waste me 

And make me burn the candle right down, 

But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown. 

'Cause all you women is low down gamblers, 

Cheatin' like I don't know how, 

But baby, baby, there's fever in the funk house now. 

This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin', 

Don't you know you know the duece is still wild. 

Baby, Baby I can't stay, you got to roll me 

And call me the tumblin' dice. 

Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry, 

Don't you see the time flashin' by.

Baby, Baby don't call me the tumblin' dice

Baby I'm sure ... try

Baby, I can't stay, 

Baby, Baby you call me the tumblin' dice

you call me the tumblin' dice.

(Instrumental)

Say now baby, I'm the rank outsider, 

You can be my partner in crime

But baby, I can't stay, 

You got to roll me and call me the tumblin' dice, 

To roll me 

To roll me
