I'm trying to put together a compilation of country-inspired songs that the Stones have done - the following is how far I've got. Are there any more?

It's All Over Now
No Expectations
You Got The Silver
Wild Horses
Dead Flowers
Sweet Virginia
Torn and Frayed
Sweet Black Angel
Faraway Eyes

Thanks

Of th early attempts, "High and Dry" comes to my mind, why not "One More Try", too. "Dear Doctor", of course. "Country Honk"... "Let It Bleed"?

In the late-sixties/early 70's, the country blues and counry&western influence and the distinction between them to draw is sometimes hard to distinguish becuase they were able to sound so original. But there is a lot of it. Sometimes it is more clear than other times, though.

Dear Doctor

Well it might not sound country - more country school I'd say, but it sure is inspired by it...one of their greatest early songs, Down Home Girl.

Factory Girl

Thanks all, that's a few more

There was a similar thread a few months ago (I think). Search the archives, you may find more suggestions.

Please don't forget their hurricane-version of I'M MOVING ON (from December's Children), the great HANK SNOW-song which the Stones catapult into another dimension. From the same album, a scorching live-take of ROUTE 66. Can you imagine being sixteen years old and seeing the Stones doing these songs? This is truly stuff made by gods.

Say Its Not You-Keith w/geo. Jones

I kind of think of No Expectations as more like folk rather than country, but it certainly could be played with a country feel.

Indian Girl

If I recall, the Stones have always considered Wild Horses to be a country tune. I'm still on the fence about that one though.

You call this country?

this doesn't suck... much...

Put "Evening Gown" on there and force The Stones to do a version. It should have been a Stones song anyway.

We had it all..Also a nice live version with Willie Nelson.

Maybe the live Gram Parsons tribute 'Love hurts' and 'Hickory wind'.

No it's not pure country, but it has country elements - the twanging guitars and harmonies. Very little stones stuff is pure country, Far Away Eyes being the obvious example.

Thanks for the other suggestions everyone.
