Rolling Stones (1973) 100 Years Ago
A mystical sounding little number as a jazzy clavinet lead rhythm comes in with Jagger's sings confidently about walking through the woods one day. Charlie Watts adds a strong funky back beat as Richards and Jagger ponder marvellously "Don't you think, it's sometimes wise not to grow up". Before getting darker in the wah wah guitar sections before the slide back down to the laidback beat if the start; 'Excuse me while I hideaway' they slur before once again the song picks up for some more fast paced, dark satanic blues complete with Jaggers' possessed howl. The heavy funk vibe worked for the Stones here and on Fingerprint File but certainly not on the terse Hot Stuff.
