If you're right...I stand corrected! But I must say that I have never come as close with a slide as I did with the stick. Just wish my dulcimer had that sound of the Vox Bijou.Quote

I agree that the traditional stick way of fretting was used for CCC, but Gomper is more likely an actual slide.

It's the Stones take on typical Brit music like that of the Kinks and the Small Faces -witty, middle-class well-educated music. And that's just exactly what the Stones aren't.

They ain't/weren't a bunch of black blues musicians in the Mississippi delta, or 50's Chicago either.
No, but they where deriving their inspiration from the US, whereas the Kinks where deriving their inspiration from East Finchley. To me (as a Dutchman) the Kinks and the like always seemed very British, very eloquent, witty and well manored. Just as Monty Python very well could be the definition of British humor, so could The Kings define 60's British pop music. And the Stones to me are the opposite of this with their darker, meaner and more aggressive approach.

My favorite on Between the Buttons is Back Street Girl. I could listen to it forever. Connection, Complicated, and Miss Amanda Jones are also worthwhile. The rest of it is just OK.
I love the crude lyrics and haunting melody of BSG. The guitar work of Keith and the accordion playing of Brian make this particular song very unique.
