The Stones Was/is a stright up country band. Leaving aside the question of whether Mick can pull off an authentic southern drawl or not, he's trying to.

Flying Burritos were the first to record their song Wild Horses. If you watch 'Fallen Angel" you'll see that Gram Parsons and Keith Richards hung out a bunch- probably where they got a bunch of their 'country' ideas. BTW, I hate Mick Jagger's southern accent. And- 'coulored radio' ??? What, are you from the 50's?

Now, remember this is the team the brought us the calculatedly abrasive, 'Some Girls,' 'Under my Thumb,'' 'brown Sugar,' etc. I think the things you bring up are absolutely intentional. And, a playfully snide backhand at US culture. ;)

heh

that took awhile

yeah, just another rich hippy emo. he was as country as "shite." (sorry, couldnt resist.)

"grievous angel" is a great song-- but he didnt write it. "sin city" and "hickory wind" are good songs. let's push it a bit and say that "wild horses" is a good song. i don't think so, but i won't fight. that's three decent country songs. that's enough to make him a minor, forgotten song writer.

musically speaking, his rep rests almost entirely on his partying with the stones and the byrds and his partnership with emmylou. their duet on "love hurts" is cool, but it also (in hindsight) pointed the way toward that easy-listening destruction of honyky tonk in the late seventies.

i did like his nudie suit, though.


and back to the ot: "brown sugar" is the most country song the stones ever did.

Did the Stones ever do ska? really?

@Bruce Kay

Carlos did not attend school. They were closed in TJ, that's why he emigrated.

And, nobody can compare with Lincoln, who invented ska. (in my opinion).

Link Ray at first blush seems more of an influence on Dick Dale than the stones.....

Link Wray was an influence on everybody, including Bo and Chuck and Dylan and Townes and ...

Oh yeah Jimi, God, Fahey, Bloomfield, ...

EDIT:

Oh yeah and Timid T -->

Not exactly hi-tech, but I was there (BTW Dick Dale played there too a few years earlier - kept breakin' strings).

Rocky Raccoon. And the Stones did a lot of borrowing from the Beatles.

The Gram Parsons debate is interesting. I saw the documentary awhile ago and came away with the feeling that he was a spoiled, rich boy with no soul. Then I hear songs like A Song For You or Sin City and I think they're great, not good, songs. I mentioned this to Ed and he said, "then where did the soul come from?"
