By the Numbers
Every song on Goats Head Soup is credited to Jagger/Richards, including the ballad 'Angie,' which became a number-one US hit and is often cited as a Richards-originated melody completed with Jagger's lyric. Jimmy Miller produced for the last time with the band on this record, with Andy Johns as chief engineer and mixer. The basic tracks were cut at Dynamic Sounds in Kingston, Jamaica, giving the sessions a different setting from the band's European recordings. Mick Taylor's guitar features across the album, notably on tracks like 'Winter' and '100 Years Ago.'
Released August 31, 1973, Goats Head Soup was recorded in Jamaica with producer Jimmy Miller. A more subdued, soul-inflected record after Exile, it includes the ballad 'Angie' (a UK and US number one) and 'Dancing with Mr. D.' Mick Taylor's fluid lead guitar remained a defining element.
