My favorite Stones song, from my favorite Stones album. A die hard classic.

So much harder work than Ani Difranco. It's OK but the stones say it all no expectations.

It's pretty bad. "She's a Rainbow" is a decent single, "2000 Light Years From Home" an OK alum track, and another half-hour of absolute crap (including one song deemed worthy of incuding TWICE!


Their Satanic Majesties Request

Side one No. Title Length 1. "Sing This All Together" 3:46 2. " Citadel " 2:50 3. " In Another Land " (Bill Wyman) 3:15 4. "2000 Man" 3:07 5. "Sing This All Together (See What Happens)" 8:33
Side two No. Title Length 6. " She's a Rainbow " 4:35 7. "The Lantern" 4:24 8. "Gomper" 5:08 9. " 2000 Light Years from Home " 4:45 10. " On with the Show "

The US version had a different cover made especially for people like you.

I've commented before this way before ...a couple of dozen of Iconic Rock Songs...and then The RS can pull out another couple dozen of smaller masterpieces, FIFTY years!

Yonder Mountain String Band does an excellent cover of this song. In fact, I first heard it through them. Pretty interesting.

COOL!

For my money this whole album's a 10. What a recovery from Their Satanic Majesties —not a bad album, but not anything like this one, where the band regained the high (so to speak) ground.

While it might surprise them, the statement would be no less true. What we call blues music draws heavily from European folk music (swiss, irish and english influences are easy to detect), as well as Africa. These sources converged and were blended with the slave and jim crow experiences of the descendants to produce what we call the blues. Even the instruments show this international heritage. The harmonica comes from the old hapsburg empire (germany/austria/switzerland — where it is called the mundharmonica, which translates as mouth-accordian). The guitar and banjo seem to evolve directly from an African instrument whos name escapes me. The washboard, washboard base are products of the inequality and poverty whose dickensian nature is a direct product of European economic and social models. The blues use European musical scales and rythms, while adding syncopation, 'blue notes', and an improvisational character typical from Africa. It's no wonder that the blues are enjoyed internationally.

Truly, the blues is international music — both in its sources and its audience.


Is jazz world music because those instruments were also developed in other countries? I'm also sure that jazz shares similarities with other pre-existing forms of music. To follow your logic, all music would be African since the oldest found human remains were discovered there. Surely Lucy was the first to bang a stick on a stone.

The Blues belong to America.

I actually prefer the Soulsavers cover, with mark lanegan. You should really give it a try:

The Rolling Stones
.
—————————————————————————————————————
The Rolling Stones are returning to recording a new album, still in preparation. The former bassist Bill Wyman is returning to Band and agreed to record again with the band. This new disc also intends to honor the former keyboardist, Ian Andrew Robert Stewart, already disappeared, which began in the early days of the band. The Rolling Stones have not recorded since 6 years ago, so this new album is creating huge "expectations". ~ calypsus_1

The Rolling STONE AGE by ~ JoniGodoy
Jonathan Godoy N. ©2007-2010 ~ JoniGodoy

What would have happened if, among the archaeological discoveries, the experts had found evidence that the Rolling Stones lived in the first days of the creation?
If they did, this image could have been the nearest thing to what can be imagine.

...And calculating their age, it´s possible that they have lived that time, haha!
