It's really good. Very well done. Excellently done, really.
But.
It really brings to mind why the Stones are so good and why their rhythm, give and take, weave and wobble, work so well, Rocks Off especially giving audible proof of why the Stones are so damn good, where as the version by Hookers And Blow, a very good rock band, obviously, is just... rock band average: Aerosmith or Def Leppard would do it almost exactly the same so... you know, nice nod and all but nothing interesting.

It has everything you could possibly want in the architypal Stones song; sex, sleaze, drugs, world-weary rock and roll with raunchy interwoven guitar assault, bouncy keyboards, delicious drums...and the horns, oh man the horns, best and most authentic use of horns this band ever had this side of Brown Sugar...and the ethereal 'I'm so mesmerized' sequence that shouldn't fit, cannot be redone properly, and slows this whole out-of-control train to a smooth run through the mountain tunnel before speeding up again and flying off .
