 In addition to punk, Jagger claims to have been influenced by dance music, most notably disco, during the recording of "Some Girls", and cites New York City as a major inspiration for the album, an explanation for his lyrical preoccupation with the city throughout.At least as important for the band's re-invigoration was the addition of Ronnie Wood to the line-up, as "Some Girls" was the first album recorded with him as a full member.His guitar playing style meshed with that of Keith Richards, and slide guitar playing would become one of the band's hallmarks.
