“Out of Tears” was the second single released from Voodoo Lounge, following “Love Is Strong.” It only reached No. 60 on the Billboard Hot 100, although it rose to No. 14 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart and No. 36 on the U.K. singles tally.
The song features Mick Jagger on acoustic guitar, as well as lead vocals. Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood both played electric guitar on the track, with Wood delivering a slide-guitar solo.
Stones touring keyboardist Chuck Leavell played piano on the song, while founding Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers member Benmont Tench is featured on Hammond B-3 organ.
The “Out of Tears” video features mostly black-and-white animated images including a crying crescent moon, falling raindrops, and a solitary male figure depicted standing in the rain, tipping over an array of giant dominoes, and floating on his back in water.
More About Voodoo Lounge
Released on July 11, 1994, Voodoo Lounge was The Rolling Stones’ first album made without longtime bassist Bill Wyman. Wyman had left the band in 1991, although his departure from the group wasn’t announced until two years later.
Voodoo Lounge topped the U.K. albums chart and peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. In addition to “Love Is Strong” and “Out of Tears,” “You Got Me Rocking,” “Sparks Will Fly,” and “I Go Wild” also were released as singles.
Wyman’s replacement, Darryl Jones, played bass on the entire album. Voodoo Lounge also featured guest appearances by Tench, soul singer Bobby Womack, trumpet player Mark Isham, accordionist Flaco Jimenez, and percussionist Lenny Castro.
