Released Friday October 20, 2023 with the Hackney Diamonds album.

The Rolling Stones with

Steve Jordan : Drums
Matt Cliffiord : Piano, Rhodes
Benmont Tench : Hammond Organ

Bjornulf

Ron Wood on Dobro here.

Kinda reminds of me "Hide Away" from Goddess in the Doorway

This song makes me crazy. It's beautiful but it reminds me of another song and I don't know which one.

I like it a lot. Nice vibe.

Short and curlies...and some Torn and frayed...

A new classic country song with nice dobro slide work by Ronnie and nice melodies.

My favorite besides Sweet Sounds of Heaven. Reminds me a bit of "Every time I break her heart" from the fully finished outtakes. Awesome!!!

Great song. I really love it.
One of their best since the end of the 70's.

It sounds so much like "Short And Curlies" to me that I find it hard to enjoy.

I'm glad others love it, though!

I can see this track being used in an episode of Yellowstone ..
Achingly lonesome and beautiful.
A standout for Ronnie.

Feels like it belongs on the Some Girls expanded release

I had that thought too... [and I love that "bonus tracks" album]

But I love this side of the band and this is why I'd love them to do a country album in the same way that they did B&L.

Not only it reminds me of Short and Curlies, also the lyrics are quite similar:

"And you can't get away from it all" - Short and Curlies
"And I got to break away from it all" - Dreamy Skies

In any case, this album is sooo good it hurts.

A shame I think , cause that reference is only one/two sentences.
To me it is another Stones country classic!

"Short and Curlies" meets "No Spare Parts" ;-)
Still a very enjoyable song !

I'm a 44 year old guy and I just cried like a baby when I listened to this song...

I can hardly believe that those old guys still had this in them.. Beautiful song..


And to think that I skipped this song after a minute during my first listening session because I thought it sounded too much like Shorts & Curlies

Maybe they don't even remember writing/playing Short and Curlies
Have you guys seen the Howard Stern interview with Keith Richards? He wouldn't remember writing also Surprise Surprise, Blue Turns To Gray and a few others.

I'm only listening to it now for the first time and 1 minute in but I had the same feeling. Maybe the feel of Far Away Eyes?

Very reminiscent of a 1978 Pathe Marconi outtake, but I can remember which one.

Sorry, I simply don’t get the Short and Curlies reference. Torn and Frayed, yes, mixed a little with, somehow, Sweethearts Together!

Another addition to the classic Stones Country catalog. Lovely, sparse, wide open, beautiful music.

Though, not my favourite Jagger Country vocal or lyric by a long shot.

A little rhymy-rhymy.

Rod

At first listen to the entire album this is my favorite cut

“Golden Caddy.” Also “Part of the Night.”

Never mind. I thought I was in the Tell Me Straight thread!

Fantastic!

I like it but I wish it wouldve been a Stones song, not Jagger singing to himself. I wonder how they record his voice.

Chill classic

It has a No Expectations vibe but there's a lift oddly, from Short And Curlies. Anyone else heard that?

Who plays bass?
