Mick Jagger: From the "Some Girls" to "Super Heavy"

Some Girls album from The Rolling Stones, who once released in 1978, circulated again in CD format. Before Mick Jagger's album collaboration with Indian musician, AR Rahman, first circulated. Jagger's interesting listening to the creative energy of the disco era to the era when the Rolling Stones had the status of "non-active".

Some Girls album appeared in the world who are intoxicated by the disco era in the mid-1970s. It was also the Bee Gees into a disco track with songs like "Staying Alive", "You Should Be Dancing", "Night Fever", or also "More Than a Woman".

Rolling Stones also seems to fall for it. The song "Miss You" on the album Some Girls was the influence of disco. However, "Miss You" did not fall as mainstream disco. At least not the kind of disco owned by Bee Gees or KC and the Sunshine Band.

Beat the drums Charlie Watts gave the impression as tasteless disco, but still distinctive style of jazz-based Watt. A somewhat different from the "Miss You" is Bill Wyman bass playing style is dominant. Rolling Stones songs mostly guided more by the rhythm of Keith Richards.

Mick Jagger himself admitted did not compose "Miss You" as a disco song, but rather as R & B. Nevertheless, Charlie Watts and Jagger admits he does like disco then.

Some Girls as a whole remains a typical rock album the Rolling Stones. Only "Miss You" was the one that sounds most different from the character of the song Jagger and his friends. "Miss You" became a marker that the Rolling Stones ever lived in an age-old disco which was only less than a decade, from the mid-1970s until the early 1980s. Famous songs from this album other than "Miss You" is "Far Away Eyes", "Beast of Burden", "Shattered," and also "Lies", which typically belongs to Jagger and his friends are naughty, wild, and sloppy, but good in the ear.

Some Girls album is accompanied by new packaging material contains 12 bonus tracks. Bonus songs seemed to emphasize the strong influence of blues and country for the Rolling Stones. Songs like "Claudine," "Do You Think I Really Care", to "You Win Again". While the colors are strong blues feel on "So Young", "When You're Gone", and "Keep Up Blues".
