^and consume coke and whiskey too
not to mention blood tranfusions and dmt (not that guy, the other one)
i guess that's all that's left after the silver, gold, diamonds and time
and what could be more country than hell's angels and the devil and people get beat up with pool sticks and stabbed?
at 3:58 dogs got in free too, as long as they didn't piss off any angels (who whilst characterized as hardasses, were actually a very sensitive lot)
does that sound like a ry cooder riff?

One of my favorite Stones stories is the one from the start of Keith Richards' Life. He talks about "Southern hospitality" and reflects on rednecks. Country Honk's their best attempt, if you will call it such, at country.
You guys might could try reading Life to get the low down on some country types who played with them on occasion. Bobby Keys is from Texas, as always a good place to be "from."
There's too many country groups who are way better than the old fossils, so who really would care if they put out a Sweetheart of the Rodeo of their own? Keith can do pretty much anything he wants and it's OK by me.

stones are the weakest of weak sauce
they play country worse than they play American blues, which is almost unimaginable

I noticed the Coors can also. When that photo was taken you couldn't buy Coors anywhere east of the Mississippi or a line farther west. BITD, when living in New Orleans people would go snow skiing at Christmas and return with a trunk load of Coors. Being a rare commodity they would sell it for a premium and pay for the trip.
You were pretty hip if you had Coors in your icebox. I preferred the taste of Dixie to Coors; the toxins in the water down there added a certain bite to the brew. I forget how many un-kown toxins there were in the Mighty Mississippi at the time; but the # 193 sticks in my mind.
At least the photo proves the Stones were in-country.

As much as I hate to admit it, I used to bootleg stashes of colors from Wyoming back to California, during the embargo days. Have to be careful though, too much colors and you turn respooblikan, one of the reasons I had to quit drinking.....

Well T, as John Denver would say "thank God".
The burning Jagger issue for me is what did he really do with the acid-laced Baby Ruth at Dylan's house in Woodstock?
Yowsa.

That is the strangest W Jennings song I ever heard. Just doesn't seem quite right.
Zb, Mick would never tell.

The Stones may have done some parodies of country.
They certainly did some parodies of rock and roll.

Stones are great, and Dead flowers is a great tune. Country? Maybe?
Girl with Faraway Eyes is embarrassing, unless they are trying to make fun of country.
GP wrote some good tunes, but weren't the Dead doing "country rock" before Grievous Angel?
Anyway, if you go back far enough, rock and roll is just country like Carl Perkins and Chet Atkins, and if you go farther back than that, country music is a form of Irish and English music that came to America. If you count Texas swing, then you get to include Spanish and German oompa stuff.
So did the Stones play country? Not well, and not often, but if they play rock and roll than in that sense they do play country.
It's confusing so I decided along time ago, I'm going to like what I like, and not like what I don't like.
For you radiohead fans- how about this.

And they were heavily influenced by Buddy Holly- one of those early country/rock and roll player who was probably ripping off/influenced by others.
It's music. This is how it works.

Wild horses, in the right hands, iscountry. Not that those stones still, ever did country!
Sitting here in rural Utah listening to KZMU, rock that when you're at Moab, the creek, mofo's! btw!
not only various country coverslip .WH but a bit from a new Stones release (almost wrote "LP" !) which seemed to rock!

Just finished Twenty Thousand Roads. Really interesting and detailed. I enjoyed the book and learned some things. I don't think I like the author. He was all too eager to express his own personal feelings about people and other bands (why the intense hate-fest for the Eagles?).
I came to the conclusion that GP did in fact have soul. The scene that really brought it home to me was the funeral for Clarence White, where Gram interrupted the preacher and this sterile Catholic service at the gravesite and started singing. It sounds like many of the musicians at the service wanted something with more soul, but it took Gram to make it happen. And one by one they joined in with him.
No doubt that Parsons produced a pretty slim amount of, well anything relative to his talent. But the early death of both parents, his drug use, and his wealth sure explains a lot. I really appreciate the reference. It was a fun read.
