Early version without fiddle and sound effects. Recorded: 10th June - 2nd July 1969, Olympic Sound Studios, London. Producer: Jimmy Miller. Sound Engineer: Glyn Johns.
SO true..... I don't consider the fucking garbage on "country stations" these days to really even be country music. REAL country music faded away years ago..... The cringe inducing ear torture they call "country" today is nothing short of audible reeking pig shit.....
The Stones - all the years, all the popular songs we've all heard ( and the not-so-popular ones), the outtakes (better than most bands could ever dream of), outrageous concerts, stories & myths, world tours and ex-girlfriends, busts and legal troubles, personalities and conflicts. So varied and so talented. If there was only one band to listen to for eternity, it would have to be the stones.
@@MrTheHillfolk Back in the day I had Let It Bleed on 8-track. My girl and I are driving when the car horn on Country Honk plays. She started looking around us. I just laughed.
It is a very good album but Brian and Keith were a mess. Those Olympic sessions were always in the wee hours of the night with everyone but Bill and Charlie half out of their minds. Jimmy Miller still has the reputation as the wild producer. Marijuana was listed as the cause of death on his death certificate. While that was questionable it was plausible to everyone that knew him. My favorite Stones album is Out of Our Heads. It is a near perfect record Let it Bleed had some slopy stuff on it. The studio version of Love in Vain is shit for example.
Ray Pellerin I will certainly listen to it again, I think one of the positives of these re releases is that it provides an open forum and perspective and context we didn’t have the first time! Happy Listening and Win the Day!!
@@j.bradygrygrowski7731 There are no wrong answers and the Stones have a long catalog of many types of music. Black and Blue is one of my favorites. Love anything Billy Preston. Stones turned me onto the old blue guys like Jimmy Reed, Bo Diddley. I am also a huge Buddy Holly fan. He was amazing and both the Stones and Beatles worship the guy.
@@j.bradygrygrowski7731 I don't know how any song can recorded better. These guys were great musicians early on. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uM3dFw51Bpw.html
Ray Pellerin well said great groups make people seek their influences! Opens up different worlds, I started with let it bleed and decided I would go to the first album they made and worked my way to Voodoo Lounge! Still haven’t seen them live which is a shame, the DC venue is such shit!!
One of my alll time favorites. Love the guitar, bluesy and twangy. Great stuff. Country Honk was made before Honky Tonk Women. As Jagger always said, Country is the flip side to the Blues. So true.
60s was such a magical time. Even a tune made without a lot of planning is immortal. I keep coming back to this early version of Country Honk again and again.
The shirt Mick has on is from live aid concert in Philly, greatest show ever . my boss would not give me off so I bought all his workers and their wives tickets to the show. lol It was an amazing show from beginning to end. Mick wore an Eagles jersey cause George Therowgood was dressed in a white suit.
Sitting in a bar Tipplin a jar in Jackson And on the street the summer sun it shines . There's many a barroom Queen I've had in Jackson. But I just can't seem to drink you off my mind. It's the hoooooooooonky tonk women That give me, give me, give me the honky-tonk blues.
Absolutely fantastic Thank you for this - again One of the best songs ever written by the best band on this planet I hope they come back to Europe soon I will be there for sure To all the people out there: You must see them live if you can It will change your life
No kidding, thats great ! Shirley. They were already together when we first heard of the Stones. Jerry Hall too. Shes the one in grey with the other girls when he goes by wearing a top hat and touches her butt !
This is the original version , Mick and Keith were on vacation in Brazil with their girlfriends and wrote this Hank Williams style, later when Keith started dabbling in open g guitar tuning it worked nicely with the chord progression and of course Mick Taylor's lead and Charlie's iconic drum playing help make it a classic, btw that's producer Jimmy Miller playing the cowbell on the electric version
I listen to truly crap on the radio today (and screw "I Heart" Radio...another issue) that is nothing the stones did.. lest alone what even better the Beatles did..
Damn, Charlie looks great with a mustache ! This must be the earlier version before they put the fiddle and the car horn in. Sounds like theyre using a Dobro too. Great music. Nothing today comes even close.
Love,HONK 3 C.D..Set that is Great,When you open it up,All the STONES are against the Wall,Surrounding KEITH, MICK looks like he could be urunating on the wall,ha,ha.But the 46 or so SONGS ON IT ,ARE SENSATIONAL,GREAT Upload JAMMING EDWARD, GREAT CHANNEL.Walter B,Memphis.
While I miss the horn honkings, this version merely reinforces what I've said for some time: Ask me my favorite country band, rock band, American band, and English band --- and these guys are going to win all four.
I heard this version only one time on the radio, and it sound a lot better than the studio version, and yes, regular radio station don't play it, I don't know why. I'm lucky I"ve found it!
Yes this is a great reality great upload,Jamming Edward. Also one of m favorite Albums, Right up there with Exile On Main Street.Think l LIKE this version or the song,Better,.GREAT Upload JAMMING EDWARD GREAT CHANNEL, Walter B.Memphis.Thank You,Think I saw them one time when Jerry Hall handed Mick Jagger his hat.!!
I walked into Ernest tubb record shop on Broadway Nashville, someone had stolen my exile on main Street CD out of my car,, I looked and looked ,,no stones ? I asked the lady behind the counter where the rolling stones were at , she informed me politely they didnt sell Rock records there, its was country only store , without being a smart, I replied " miss you have no idea what you're talking about"..
I must get 1969s (Let it Bleed 🩸) Album. Possibly one of their Best, in my Humble opinion, alongside (Beggars Banquet), (Exile on Main Street); and ‘Mick Jagger’s’ Favourite (Goats Head Soup 🍜). I had the chance to see them play live in 1994, during their (Voodoo Lounge) Tour, and regretted not going 😥😥.
@@kevinplummer8731 Yes,definitely Agree,those 3 are in my opinion ,their best,.I would put Exile on Main Street 1st,but those 3 you listed,man what Albums they made at the time,and Still Rolling in 2020,Amazing,.Walter B.Memphis.!!
Nashville cat Byron Berlin on fiddle,musical giant Ry Cooder on mandolin.This is the original version of the song.Mick Taylor would later suggest an electric version once he came aboard.
During the recording of "Beggars Banquet" a fundamental event occurred in the history of the Stones: in those days of 1968, the Byrds were on tour in Europe, and their last concert was at the Royal Albert Hall in London, but when They learned that the tour was going to continue in South Africa, they refused to go, staying in the British capital. In that formation of the Byrds was Gram Parsons, who became close to Keith Richards, and the influence of country rock on the Stones was evident from then on.
