I've used the "I'll put roses on your grave" line more than once!
Now I just have to hope I actually get to fulfill it...

Whatever ... they're both desert island records.

I'm not here to tell anyone what to do with their cash, but those old white slave holders would sure help some poor young people in africa, or heck in the US. i'm just sayin'  |

If you have to—absolutely must—put a label on it, the term back then was "country rock." Among those in the forefront were The Eagles (early), Poco, The Byrds (later), The Flying Burrito Brothers, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and others. It was in the air, and the Stones on this song and others proved their amazing versatility. Tongue-in-cheek, maybe, but not a parody. My take is that they had too much respect for the originators, country music's pioneers (Frizzell, Williams, Rose, Acuff, Atkins, and others), to mock their music. |

Agreed! Its a great song and a great album. But sometimes, doesn't it rub you just a little wrong that this, and the other truly dark songs on the album make you want to roll down the windows and sing them at the top of you lungs? No? OK I was just checking......
