The only Taylor lead is in the very beginning of the song. After that, Keith takes over. But the slide in the beginning (first seconds) is indeed tasty.Quote

I was frankly suprised when I read that Keith plays the lead on this one. The lead has some lazyness I usually associate with Mick Taylor and I cannot think of another lead by Keith sounding like this one...
To my ears, Mick Taylor plays slide throughout the song, panned to the right, lower in the mix than Keith, who is slightly to the left. For example at 0:57 it sounds like Taylor, a bit reminiscent of Stop Breaking Down in sound and touch. Could be Keith though.

Can't understand why people like this song??! It's just plain awful!

But one positive thing about "Short And Curlies" needs to be said: over-all IT'S ONLY ROCK'N'ROLL sounds a bit uptight record to my ears (partly due to bad production, but also due to performances and song ideas as well), but "Short And Curlies" is an exception. It really is relaxed, naturally groovy piece. The most-EXILE like number by spirit.

I've noticed something funny about Stones fans (or at least the people on this board). We all truly love the band's music, but we all seem to truly hate a handful of tracks, seemingly at random.
I'm with you as far as "Short and Curlies" goes, but I've heard similar sentiments voiced about songs I'm crazy about and can't imagine anyone not liking. There doesn't seem to be any way to predict which tunes will grate on someone's nerves.

Always liked this track. Musically Its a departure from their usual type of song, It kind of reminds me of Randy Newman. Lyrically its classic Stones. They do a good job on it.

Just throw the words "Streets of Love" out there and see what happens...

an insult to both guitar players isn't it ? to mistake keiths' soloing for mick's is an insult for mick and an insult to keith saying he cant play like that !

I like this song too - just bluesy, naughty Stones humor.

This could be Taylor on rhythm with Richards on lead with a Taylor slide overdub. The basics were recorded in Jamaica.
