According to the book, the Stones had had a shaky few years where they'd tried to delve into the psychedelic sound with an album called "Their Satanic Majesties Request" and being busted for drug possession (presumably by Pilcher). Brian Jones was losing motivation a bit.
The band stripped their sound down and found their feet in a more acoustic blues/country sound... and it really works for them. From the epic "Sympathy for the Devil" through to "Salt of the Earth" and including "Stray Cat Blues" which may be one of my favourite RS tracks.
