They were beginning to move away from their blues/R&B roots towards something more uniquely their own. Certainly those roots were far from absent in the songs they composed for this album, and they still cover their share of the masters here (Chuck Berry, Arthur Alexander, Hank Snow), but something new was afoot.The aching ballad "As Tears Go By," complete with baroque orchestration, heralded a new direction in the Stones' songwriting. Similarly, the folk-rockish strains of "The Singer Not The Song" hint at previously uncharted directions. Perhaps the most crucial track here is "Get Off My Cloud," which, while it incorporates the band's rootsy influences, is possessed of a decidedly modern power that the Stones were only beginning to learn to harness. This was the beginning of a style more specific than pop, blues, or rock & roll. DECEMBER'S CHILDREN may be seen as the beginning of what can only be defined as "Rolling Stones music." 1.She Said Yeah2.Talkin' About You3.You Better Move On4.Look What You've Done5.Singer Not The Song, The6.Route 667.Get Off Of My Cloud8.I'm Free9.As Tears Go By10.Gotta Get Away11.Blue Turns To Grey12.I'm Moving On
