I really like it, but yeah, seems an odd choice for a single release.

Not my favourite outtake to start with, but, hey, it sounds great, and unlike some Exile-reworks, it sounds convincing.
But a strange choice for a "single" nonetheless.

Yeah, I couldn't have imagined any other track as Claudine as the single.

Well... They can always try "We had it all"/"You win again". This would be a H-bomb

I don't find the anachronism in Mick's voice s such a principal mistake at all (that it destroys the listening experience). He seems to recapture something of his 'sound' from the late 70's, even though some important 'edge' is missing and replaced with the recent thin and artificial peter pan voice... but good news is that it is way much better and especially far enough from the horrible "interpretations" he does in SuperHeavy ballads.

The result is the same than the Exile outtakes : the song is ruined with the 2011 Jagger "nasal" voice.
Did he believed that he could sing the same 1977-78 way ?
Very lame result.

Don't agree!
Mick's voice is fantastic!

thank you.
quick reaction: not as bad as feared. mick does a reasonable facsimile of his faux-country vox from the era...thankfully very little of his modern mannerisms....having said that...not sure what was wrong with the original vocal...but that's mick fer ya....

To me the song here - as in the boots as well - is "Think I'm Going Mad" with more country flavor and more words in the verses.

I agree. He probably thinks he can sing it better now, which is absurd. I miss the muddy sounding, drunken charm of the outtake. But the new version is ok on first listen. I'm still no fan Don Was production though, he separates the instruments effectively but the sound he gets is always a little to polished and clean.

my first reaction was that it reminded me of the jagger/phillips "oh virginia" from the john's poshumous pay, pack, follow record...
