The album featured a return to the basics for the Rolling Stones.

The unusual instrumentation introduced several albums prior was absent, and with most of the songs featuring the regular drums, guitar, bass, and percussion as provided by, you know the names.

Eric SenichHOST
Now, Rory Gallagher was considered for that gig too, so what could he have brought to the Stones that neither Taylor nor eventually Ronnie Wood brought, and would becoming a Rolling Stone have elevated his legacy, or would it have cost him part of what made him so special?
