Great song, great album.
Mick Taylor's guitar is outstanding in this track.

Good song, I used to listen to this album quite a bit way back in college, early '80s.
I would call it professionally done but doesn't have the magic from earlier classic rockers.
On the album, I actually like their other more experimental forays like 'FF, If you Really, Luxury and the two ballads on side one.

I just had to comment on "Luxury" and that made me want to re-listen to something here. I noticed something I had not heard before: Keith's rhythm guitar is split onto two tracks. There is some stereo split going on. But it seems a bit more than that. Maybe they put a reverb channel on other side. Not sure.
At first I thought I had discovered another guitar. Can anyone tell what is happening?

There is a third guitar playing syncopated strums, adding to the rhythm.

I simply LOVE this track; it’s the Stones in all their glory (although the rest of the album is definitely hit-or-miss). From Charlie’s opening gunshot salvo, to the glorious blending of Keith’s crunchy riffing and Taylor’s beautifully melodic guitar that chimes in perfectly a split second later, to Mick’s full-force-but-slightly-hoarse vocal, this one grabs the listener by the throat and never lets go. What a great, chugging rhythm (go Charlie go!!!), and those lyrics, baby, you gotta love ‘em… A thousand lips I would love to taste … I’ve got one heart and it hurts like hell … Who’s that black girl in the bright blue hair? … Rock and roll simply doesn’t get any better than this. I love how, as the song builds momentum in the final stretch of the song, Charlie’s drums go into overdrive, and Mick squeals in ecstasy.
Tight and loose at the same time, IYCRM swings like a motherfukker, and exemplifies the band I love.
