Popular tracks best but acoustic blues fans enjoy rest
Review written by John Fitzgerald, October 6th, 2004

Though not credited in the copy I have, it's been documented in various places over the years that Dave Mason plays shehani (an Indian reed instrument similar to a clarinet) on the jangly rocking stomp of "Street fighting man" where you'll hear what is probably the instrument in question towards the end of the track into the fade (he apparently plays on "Dear Doctor" & "Factory Girl" as well). This track along with this album's best known songs (like the classic building samba of "Sympathy for the devil" and the tasty chiming sliding acoustic strummer "No expectations") are undoubtedly the best parts to "Beggars banquet" but those that like the more homespun acoustic blues leanings of the Stones may enjoy the other album tracks here such as "Dear doctor" which reminds me somewhat of Fraternity of Man's "Don't bogart me" (most famously from the movie "Easy rider"), the strutting blues shuffle of "Parachute woman" (which features hard strumming acoustic guitars and is harmonica led), the mid tempo funkish acoustic strummer "Jig saw puzzle" (which gets better as it goes along with Hawaiian electric guitar slides and good piano later on), the rolling acoustic clapping blues of "Prodigal son", the medium paced gruff jangler "Stray cat blues" (which here is good but I personally think the "Get yer ya ya's out" live version puts this version to shame), the acoustic and fiddle doodling yowl of "Factory girl" (which sounds like it could have easily been an early Rod Stewart solo track from his Mercury years) and the closing "Salt of the earth" (on which the acoustic strummer meets the piano chunker that builds fairly well) but even if you're disappointed with the other tracks, the first three mentioned here are essential and undeniable.
