What is the name of the album that features the song "Angie"?

The story behind the answer

The album that features the Rolling Stones’ song “Angie” is Goats Head Soup.

Goats Head Soup was the band’s eleventh studio album, released on 31 August 1973. “Angie” was its lead single and became one of the Stones’ best-known ballads, standing apart from the band’s more aggressive blues and rock material. The track was recorded in Kingston, Jamaica, during sessions held in late 1972.

The album followed Exile on Main St. and was recorded across Jamaica, Los Angeles, and London. It was produced by Jimmy Miller, whose work had helped shape the Rolling Stones’ sound since Beggars Banquet. Alongside “Angie,” the record includes songs such as “Dancing with Mr. D,” “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker),” and “Star Star.”

A frequent confusion comes from the song’s release date: “Angie” appeared as a single on 20 August 1973, before the album arrived. Its success helped drive the album to the top of charts internationally. The album title refers to a Jamaican dish, while the song’s title has been the subject of competing stories about its inspiration.
