"Country Honk"
by The Rolling Stones
From the album Let It Bleed (1969)
Written by ant (24)
A reworking of the non-album single "Honky Tonk Women", the title says enough about the style. Ex-Byrd Gram Parsons had been immersing Richards in country music, and it was also he who recommended fiddle-player Byron Berline for the track. There's actually some dispute over which came first, the 'Honk' or the 'Tonk'.
Mick adopts a deep-south drawl (direct from the Dartford Delta!) for this playful version, with its singalong chorus and honkin' car horn ambience. The bar-room's in Jackson, not Memphis: but go where you will, them goddamn gals will still blow yer mind!
