Sittin' in a bar tippling a jar in Jackson
And on the street the summer sun it shines
There's many a bar room queen I've had in Jackson
But I just can't seen to drink you off my mind.

It's those honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme those honky tonk blues.

I played a divorcee in New York City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady then all dressed me up in roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.

It's those honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme those honky tonk blues.

It's those honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme those honky tonk blues.

It's those honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme those honky tonk blues.

I like the Stones and I like alt-country but that song loses me. It takes the classic version and turns it into a bunch of noise. Not for me.

My beautiful partner tells me she played this full blast off a 45 during her 16th birthday party over and over while gate crashers climbed through her parents bedroom window to join the fun! 
I may or may not have been one of those crashers...

I'm re-imagining the Animal House scene where John Belushi takes the guy's guitar off him and smashes it, but with a fiddle.

Really?  That's Byron Berline, one of the most celebrated and sought-after fiddlers in music.  Are you giving lessons this week?



I wonder why he decided not to use one single pause in this song though, the constant stream of fiddle sound in this song is quite obnoxious

Yeah, guess you could say the RS "hung out" with Gram. Keith Richards pretty much killed poor little Gram. I won't say singlehandedly, because it's complicated. Very. And it's not like any of us were there then. What was it Joe Walsh (?) said about KR? That the most terrifying thing that ever happened to him was Keith Richards decided he liked him. Something to that effect.

With respect to the overall talent of the Rolling Stones, my brain's been conditioned by the more "rocked out" version of this song getting all of the radio airplay. 

The more I listen to this version, the less I like it.

The Stones wrote this alternate version, of an already released mega-hit,  because they were enamored with the budding Bakersfield country rock scene (soon to spawn many, many rock/country legends).  Perhaps they were thinking of those young struggling artists creating a new sound and "fighting for airtime" when they put it out.  Keith certainly was a huge fan of The Flying Burrito Brothers, and Gram Parsons in particular, around that time.

Also: "Entitlement", in the PC way that you are using it, was not a concept in 1969.

 
....maybe your best post, h8rhater.

This version actually works better for me, and the Album is excellent.  1969 was a  great year!

  Are you saying they shouldn't have been allowed to record any music they wanted to record...in 1969?  Any musician should be allowed to record anything they want.  I doubt this song got much radio play when it was released (almost 50 years ago), and it certainly has no relevance to any musicians who are "fighting for airtime" in the present day.

Never been to a Country Honk.

For lads who grew up on Mushy Peas, Jellied eels, warm beer and chips it sounds authentic to me - then again, they also grew up on a diet of american R&B old style. 
Posted 10 years ago by bb_matt    [ Reply ]
my guess is that not one of the folks that voted below a seven have ever been to a honky tonk here in the states.

If I close my eyes I can hear the dust and shells on the floor, smell the stale beer and see the beautiful girls swishing on the floor.

Ahhhh, the good ole days. {#Hug}

And yet, RP has exactly 1 (ONE!) Gram solo song in their library ("In My Hour of Darkness"), and it hasn't been played for almost 5 years.  The only Sweetheart of the Rodeo song represented here is "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere", which was written by Bob Zimmerman.  You get my drift...MORE GRAM IS NEEDED!

Why not start by adding The Byrds' "Hickory Wind", which he wrote and sang lead?

Ok, starting here for the next hour I really was about to vomit.  This was really, really bad- poorly recorded and mixed with fiddle part which seemed mixed to get the cats yowling and humans covering their ears.  Not taking anything away from the artists but this was one of the few things which had me wishing I wasn't listening to RP....

The Rolling Stones are returning to recording a new album, still in preparation. The former bassist Bill Wyman is returning to Band and agreed to record again with the band. This new disc also intends to honor the former keyboardist, Ian Andrew Robert Stewart, already disappeared, which began in the early days of the band. The Rolling Stones have not recorded since 6 years ago, so this new album is creating huge "expectations".      ~calypsus_1

I tune in because I love most of what's played. I'm moved to comment upon rare occasion by something I really love and far more frequently by the stuff that makes me wanna scream. I have that screaming reaction to very little of what's played here—but it's that that moves me to comment. Get it?

The other problem, of course, is the obvious one: define "excellent," eh?

Ah Zep, ever heard of Opeth? Just one of the greatest Metal bands out there right now. Steven Wilson sure thinks so as he has produced several of their albums and their lead guitarist is featured on the Insurgentes album.

Abba?

That aside, this is a great song by a band that should never have to retire. If you love what you do, why would you ever stop?
