A great Jagger blues track. This is a case where overdubbing on a demo can really work. Why? Because the feel of the demo was perfect. You can still hear the ghost vocal. We get a great Taylor solo and Keith on bass. This is one of the songs I use to illustrate the point that I think Jagger is underrated (or under appreciated) as a musician.

Erk Keith's bass playing is rather crap on this cut.

YES! That is real weaving. Not to beat that ole dead horse, but Taylor and Keith was the best weave.

Nah, they nailed that weaving thing as far back as IBC demo.

In the very old days everything was better.

Haha...yeah right.
Man, there's plenty of great weaves all along. Brian as guitar-man doesn't get near enough credit. How about "Confessin' The Blues"?
This is the thing though: Keith (and Ron) are always talking about this close sound they do etc; lot of it based on the great 78 tour I guess. To THEM it might be very interesting to dissect the overall sound: "Who is that? You or me?" because the two guitars sound much alike. But IMO it was way more challenging and rewarding to hear what Bria? Keith and Taylor/Keith did with opposing sounds, or complementing sounds.
And to me it is the fast tunes where it comes across as even trickier. I mean - "Love in Vain", come on, it's a no brainer. Or a great cut like "Down Home Girl" is more an arrangement success. It's the songs where the weave comes from the actual performance that are the hard ones. the best ones. "Confessin" is great;
"Down the Road Apiece" is really good. But one I think is great is
"Around & Around". That's two guitars from the get go. When Keith hits the accents, Brian is strumming right in between. Very tight.

Does anyone really believe that Jagger is playing piano in the recorded track? The playing sounds too professional. It has Stu's fingers all over it.

BTW love the song.
