I have that issue w/Keith on cover at my studio (It's the Exile deluxe issue), and don't recall reading that dismissal from Mick, though it's been awhile since I've looked at it.
Could be true, but wiki is not always reliable, and when I click on the source after the quote it leads to nowhere - Let it Loose.
And it could just be an outdated link that Uncut no longer keeps up on their site. Uncut
Will fact check tomorrow!
*It's the issue where Keith has no clue that Mick Taylor was brought in by Mick Jagger to play on the "new" Plundered...to paraphrase Keith: "If he had played on it, I would have known"

I've seen that clip of Keith (radio interview)
and I am aware of the opposite statements made at the time

As far as I know (?), that quote is only a printed interview from that particular issue of Uncut (April 2010), but if there is also radio interview/clip, it would be cool to hear!
And it's not like he was against the idea of bringing in Mick Taylor, it's just that was totally unaware...he adamantly says "No new Mick Taylor on any new tracks" (paraphrase).
It's as if it were all done behind his back without him having any knowledge of it.

Is it possible that Mick had lyrics to this song, but Keith sang it with these lyrics and then Jagger just replaced the vocal when they were finishing the album in Los Angeles?
Could explain his ambivalence about the song.

My friend Dan writes (he can't post from work)
You should refer the folks here to The Book you gave me "ROCKS OFF" by Bill Janovitz.
Chapter 31 addresses this songs and eloquently offers some opinion. Seems like a perfect Richards - Jagger lyric co-write. Author suggests almost self conscious back and forth...Keith writes "Who's that women on your arm...All dressed up to do you harm..." As a warning to Mick, etc.

Bill Janovitz's descriptions and writings on Exile songs speak my own heart.
I re-read the 'Let It Loose chapter.
I'll go out on a limb and guess,
Mr. Janovitz is as baffled as I
about Mick's 2010 statements.

Mick has always downplayed Exile. It's commonly regarded as a «Keith-album» among critics (not justly, imo).
That's perhaps why Mick always critices the mix and the album in general..

Let It Loose would be better if Mick and Dr. John had started trading ‘Let It Looses’ towards the song’s furious, cathartic ending – as it is you can’t hear Dr. John’s voice in the mix at all, which I’ve always founds somewhat disappointing.Quote

Why do you have to make Mick seem so petty? He probably just needs to listen to Exile a few more times – as you may be aware, Exile isn’t as accessible as some of the Stones other famous records.

They tried to work this one up several times in preparation for the filmed Texas shows in 1972. Would have been interesting to hear/see it live in that era.

I agree this is Jagger's best vocal performance. This is such a powerful and beautiful song. Full of bayou swamp atmosphere. Stunning. I don't think they could have pulled this off live though. It is very complex and layered, and not sure how it would have gone over.
