I saw Rich Robinson do an incredible version of this on Friday night
really soulful - long, stretched out version. Keyboards were great. And Rich sang thru one of those old blues harp mics. Gave it a real cool bloozy and haunting sound.
I'm pretty sure the Stones have never tried it. Anyone know if any other bands ever tried to tackle this number before? Gazza?? |

I saw Blind Boys in Palmdale Ca last year. I think they were here with Tedeschi. Both very good. Thank you City of Palmdale for a free show.

The Stones have certainly never played it, but, as said above, the Blind Boys would have done almost certainly |

GREAT REVIEW OF THE SHOW TODAY IN ROLLING STONE!!!
http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdai...s-circle-sound/
Live Review: Black Crowes + North Mississippi All-Stars = Circle Sound
by David Fricke
Somehow, in the limited downtime on their respective dance cards, guitarists Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes and Luther Dickinson of the North Mississippi All-Stars have managed to form a third band, Circle Sound, and work up a repertoire of quality rock and blues covers. In fact, Robinson and Dickinson took the January 19th debut of their quintet at New York’s Bowery Ballroom seriously enough that they arrived with two-and-a-half-hours’ worth of songs, opening with the chunky country-fuzz of Neil Young’s “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere,” closing with a feral encore of the Rolling Stones’ “Stray Cat Blues” and passing through the Band, Ry Cooder and Chess-blues songbooks along the way.
Robinson and Dickinson, who shared vocal duties, took plenty of solo-ing room for themselves too, spinning off on long individual breaks but also fencing with each other in close, heated exchanges that made fresh theater from an electric-blues warhorse like Willie Dixon’s “Spoonful.” In their regular jobs, both guitarists play a tangled-roots rock: the All-Stars like a Mississippi hill-country Cream; the Crowes with an acid-flavored heavy-Seventies flair. In Circle Sound, Robinson and Dickinson showed extra Catholic nerve, taking a rough, moving stab at the Band’s “Rockin’ Chair,” extending Cooder’s “Boomer’s Story” with instrumental crossfire and sticking double-Southern-guitar dynamite under the already dirty gospel of the Stones’ “I Just Want to See His Face” from Exile on Main Street.
Circle Sound’s rhythm section — drummer Bill Dobrow, organist-electric pianist Rob Clores and Black Crowes bassist Sven Pipien — was both fluid and tough, a perfect mix for a band that took the stage after only a day’s rehearsal. And Robinson and Dickinson showed that they know how to do more than fire hot licks, when Robinson introduced a surprise guest in mid-set: Patti Smith. While Smith sang and chanted about blackbirds and smoke signals with ascending-mantra force, the guitarists wrapped her in bright, delicate arpeggio and warm swirls of meditative blues.
Robinson hopes Circle Sound will play again in the spring, with more guests and a different set list. I’m glad they took their first bows in New York, but this is a show that deserves to go on the road — when the guitarists can find the time.

I dont like many "new" bands. . but I like the Crowes. They are nto the STones but have great guitars and loud that the Stones no longer have. I especially like "Monster Song". The Pearl Jma discs that Pug sent are unlistenable. I wish he would stop sending them.

Don't wanna walk and talk about Jesus I just wanna see his face....
Nice little song on Exile that. Always thought it was sort of an off the cuff song. Like a Glory Choir song. |
