The Stones moved on from psychedelic experimentation to return to their blues roots on this celebrated 1968 album, Beggars Banquet, which was immediately acclaimed as one of their landmark achievements.
The material on Beggars Banquet holds a strong acoustic Delta blues vibe, such as on "Salt of the Earth" and "No Expectations," which showcases stunning slide guitar. Rock & roll is present too, for example with "Street Fighting Man," a song reflecting the turbulence of 1968, and "Sympathy for the Devil," with its fiery guitar, Jagger's mischievous vocals, African rhythms, and satanic lyrics, creating an iconic composition.
