OMG - thank you....it's only 7am here in Austin, TX....now I'm JUMPING around the office

I think the live version from Get Your YaYa's out is the best version.    

always loved Mick's "Suthin" vocals

Why not go fix Gardiner's Island?  Shortly before Gardiner's death he said:

"We have always married into wealth. We've covered all our bets. We were on both sides of the Revolution, and both sides of the Civil War. The Gardiner family always came out on top."

Ya might as well go squinch some cow pies, laddie!  And puleez do take some more time off - we won't miss your missives!

Since no one was ever officially tried for the "Boston Strangler" murders, it's unlikely there could have been any courtroom testimony.  Great song by the way.

my cousin gave my brother this album when I was like 12....didn't want it for some reason

always remember playing it on a phonograph and staring at all the little details on the album cover

oh yeah!

"Don't do that"

   oh yeah...  (this little guy is on beat)

Hey There, I just noticed that after you recommend that I take some time off — back in 2007 — well Sir, I did take some time off!  I figgered what with the rather embarrassing amount of royalties and other largess arriving at my mailbox on an almost daily basis, well, "why work?"  But hey, once a southern boy with bare feet squinched gooshingly into a drippingly fresh cow pie recently discharged by Old EmmaLou (she ain't managed to get her milk down for a couple days now and daddy is considering conversion to hamburgers — guess that talk round her and using that Bag Balm Lotion on her tired old Udders must be making the old gal kinda nervous).  Anyway, I h'aint had much time for barefooting and cow pie squinching ... I done took some time and rode around the farm down here south of Nashville and just did some thinking bout life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — and maybe converting the whole 1,650 acres into a Bible Theme Park and Paint Gun Course.  Yeah, that would be a money maker, well hell, we could have Xtians versus Moslems versus Jews versus Pagans versus Atheists.  Question is, like would the groups all gang up on one or the other?  Now I can see the Messianic Jews and the local Free WIll Xtians making a treaty for exchange of red, blue and yellow paint balls, extra co2, etc.  But what about the Pagans and Wiccans and so forth?  Might be a bit scary out there in the dark with them folks waving their hands and their Ashlar branches around, hooting like owl=s and being nekkid and all ..... well, I got off that track again ...  Yesssir, I remember my days up in the Big Apple, down on Gardner's Island.  Yep.  well, guess I don't know where the thread of this thread of consciousness is going, so I better cut it off now before I inadvertently give up the secret of who really killed the Kennedy Brothers and Marilyn Their mutual menage a'trois party girl who didn't bathe.  Speaking of stench, can you imagine the stink which would come about if Bill read this on the air like he read my notes on Nick Cave's "Hold onto Yourself".  — Stop that Nick!  You are going to go blind doing that!!!!

I'd say the Doors could do it as well and just as well. Songs like Roadhous Blues and many others are classic blues influenced songs which follow the "blues rulebook" closely.

Not the best the Stones put out, but it's undeniable that it's THEM (not ants).

You got my vote!

With no offense to the legions of Allman, Page, Clapton, Bloomfield, etc. fans out there, I don't think anyone ever got how to translate the blues into rock'n'roll quite like Keith Richards. Beggars Banquet was a stunner, but his work on Let It Bleed and "Honky Tonk Woman" took it to a whole new level.

BTW, this is just opinion, so I'd appreciate return volleys without the ab hominem name calling. Thank you.

My all-time favorite Rolling Stones record - still have the original vinyl, too!

Nice set, too, with Charlie Musselwhite in the mix . . .

imho, this is a 10. but the version on "get yer ya-yas out" is an 11.

The Killer, or my version. Hope you like it.

Oh yeah. It's a great, fire up the band party song though.
Not the First but not the Worst. Thanks for spinning this one.
Oh don do dat.

I've never really liked the Stones as a rock ('n roll) band, but they sure can play some serious shitkickin' blues. If there were an album of their purely blues numbers I'd snap it up. Highly-underrated as a blues band, IMO. 7 from the Nottingham jury.
