Good 'ol Wiki states that the rock version was done before Mick Taylor joined. Taylor states he "added" to it but that it was basically done before that.

Over rated? Absolutely not. That sparse arrangement; the frugal horns, that the Bass doesn't arrive until the chorus; the drum pattern that seems to just be there for the cowbell; the compressed overall sound. It is a brilliant recording and song. No one could have done it like they did. Maybe 'Country Honk" but not HTW.

I don't overuse the word. And the earlier parts of the post show exactly what I mean by brilliant in this context.Quote

If only the word brilliant wasn't so overused that it doesn't mean anything anymore.

Okay, feel free to point out any inaccuracies in the link. All looks good to me.
Not to mention, do you have a better source of info?

No, I'm sure it's right, this just was a PSA to be cautious of what you read on Wikipedia.

Please refer to "Country Honk" for the original idea.
Ry claims he wrote the music.
