Lovely track, both the studio version and the live versions!
Keith at his acoustic peak. Mick does a mean country-blues.

I like that it's two acoustics playing very tightly giving the impression of it being only one.
The mixed out, but captured via mic bleed harmonica adds some oddness to the track, would it have been better to have had it more audible?

Another little-known but priceless gem from one of the great albums in rock history. Everything works perfectly here; Mick’s old-man drawl is eerily authentic, and Keith’s guitar-picking is as down-home as it gets. One of their best covers ever.

One of the type of tracks that keeps me in love with this band's music. It is very authentic. Mick and Keith nail this song. Factory Girl, Parachute Woman and this one are all great songs. They have all of the little nuances in them that just make the Stones great. Keith's picking here is sublime and Micks drawl is down home! Dear Doctor can also fall in with these. I think they only got better at this type of song with Love In Vain and You Gotta Move and then back to the electric with Hip Shake and Stop Breaking Down. Wonderful Stuff. I really wish they would do a whole album of blues covers today.

A very off message Biblical parable song at a time when there was strong skepticism about the older generation and life was to be experienced out there on the road a la Easy Rider. A similar off message song at the time is The Band's first track...Tears of Rage, a father's lament about the estrangement from his daughter. I suppose a more on message song heard during the '69 tour was I'm Free, but even then I thought it was hokey. Jagger may be feeling free, but this cash strapped middle class teenage kid did not feel that way at all.

You may be missing the point. The essay on Beggars Banquet in the book stranded sees it a different way. The Stones identify with the Prodigal Son, who leaves home, blows all his money on booze, broads and drugs, then comes back home penniless, where he is forgiven and embraced.

Anyone else remember the double page Marantz advertisements
from around that time that stated something like... if you don't own
a Marantz Stereo you won't have the quality of sound to actually hear
Keith's guitar string snap and wind itself around the neck at the very end of Prodigal Son ....
