by The Rolling Stones
From the album Flashpoint (1991)
Written by ant (24)
By Jagger's own admission in his preamble to the song, it's not one of their best-known or most-played compositions: he even has to ask Wyman which album it comes from! (Beggars Banquet, 1968). Even back then, the song was overshadowed by the other mighty compositions which surrounded it.
Jagger describes it as a country song and adopts a mock-bluegrass accent to deliver it. This is further accentuated by the banjo-style picking of the guitars. Charlie's percussion patterns are an interesting feature of this nice, if slightly incongruous, little inclusion.
