Absolute 100% perfection.
That wobbly pedal steel is the absolute highest quality.
Piano, drums, vocals, backup vocals, lyrics, acoustic/electric guitars, and everything else - ditto - perfection.
I use to imagine Lynyrd Skynyrd covering this back in the '70's, and while it would have been great imo - it would have never equaled the Stones version.
Some of Skynyrd's tunes actually may have directly lifted a huge amount of inspiration from this among several other Stones tunes (Dead Flowers, etc.).
A cover of this would have fit nicely on any of their albums.
Time to revisit Exile now...
Great point as LS had several similar sounding songs - I Never Dreamed, All I can Do Is Write About It, etc..
And I bet Mick could do a mean "Curtis Lowe"....
I always thought it would be fun to hear what the Stones could do with "Gimme Three Steps"

This unfortunately is one of the songs that prevents EOMS from being a masterpiece.

Yeah, thank God it's not on Dirty Work and therefore can't spoil this album's undisputed "masterpiece" status, right?

DW isn´t a masterpiece really, but it is their last from-start-to-finish-enjoyable album of (mostly) original material.

Exile has some of their best songs ever but also at least five floaters and Torn And Frayed, although not actually a floater does not belong to Exile´s best songs. It is what it is - average Stones. There´s not much to complain about Torn And Frayed, but although there´s nothing to praise. Compared to the best Exile-songs it is pale and very easy to overlook.

Because Taylor is on bass. That's the first thing that should pop up in your head, if there's anything inside there at all.

...maybe they relegated him to bass playing to avoid noodling?

You spelled UNDERCOVER in a very very strange way.

Well, this is incorrect. "Torn And Frayed" was at least started in France. Jim Price is quoted as saying he was isolated in a room in the basement and played B3 organ.
