So I was telling a non-Stones fan pal that the boys are also a great C&W band, and he asked me to make up a tape of them doing C&W. I said "OK" and now I need a good listing of tunes, legit and bootleg. Suggestions needed....... |

Well, you got yer work cutout fer ya, my fiendish friend.
You'll have to go waaaaaay back to Let it Bleed, pick some from those sessions, {hell, you'd best go back to Beggar's, really}and end up with faraway eyes from Some Girls. Hell, do what you want. But you've got QUITE a bit of work a head of you, so if yer serious, i'd suggest getting started.
Hell, there's stuff even before beggar's. Ask FPM, if'n you know who that cat is. Gazza can tell you, as well. Gerardo&Jaxx, too. Keno @ GasX3, too.
I don't know why i even posted an answer to this, really. Guess i'm in the type vibe for this afternooon hour today ; )
Just remember Gram Parsons as you compile it all. Just remember Gram. That's really all that matters in this context.
Gram.

personally, i refer to it as rockabilly as opposed to country and western. here's a few off the top of my head to get you started:
faraway eyes
sweet virginia
wild horses
dead flowers ("i felt like a hillbilly for a minute there hmm, just a minute, tho"}
no expectations
country honk
let it bleed (sounds more country on stripped)
love in vain
dear doctor
torn and frayed (maybe??)

I think, that it sounds more complex and therefore less country on "Stripped". |

Well, partially it is hard to differentiate between blues and country songs.

that was my dilema too. differentiating between blues and country. at some point it is a fine, hazy line
also, i actually listened to the versions of let it bleed today on stripped and on let it bleed. the stripped version is a little slower, and while it may be more complex it sounds more "country" to me. LOL as a new yorker who has lived in texas and in colorado, to me "country" has its "definate" sound. i guess anything that sounds twangy to me i consider country. the stripped version sounds more twangy to me. but then again, that is a matter of opinion i guess. i don't presume to be an expert on this at all! |

Nice fucking thread.
Nice fucking Country songs listed!
Think I'll make a CDR of Country Stones songs.
Thanks for the idear!
The Blues is a given for the Stones but when they do
Country, they have a certain "snake charm elevation" feel.
You Win Again...
Keith at his piano doin' olde Merl Haggard for starters...
Ohh Keith I love you, he's the best thing since Jesus Christ.

The 'Stripped Companion' version, right? The one from their first album is straight blues IMO.
I'll also add these:
You Win Again
Say It's Not You (Keef and George Jones)
Claudine
Yellow Cab
Thanks everyone for the input on this tape...it'll be a good one! |

Howsabout "Do You Think I Care" (aka "Yellow Cab") and "We Had It All"? Maybe even "Sister Morphine," "Congratulations," and "Time Is On My Side" (done the way ol' George Jones did it on "Stone Country").... |

Hey Steel --
SPOT ON about Keith's version of Sing Me Back Home. It is truly one of the most beautiful recordings in the history of magnetic tape.
And while we're at it -- let's drink to "Evening Gown", a Stones song if ever there was one and easily a top five highlight of Jagger's solo career.

Keith.
Apartment No. 9.
Ditto, the New Barbarians' version- with Keith and Ronnie both howling into the night. ("This is a song called Apartment No. 9. Keith's gonna play piano, I'm gonna play pedal steel...and somebody's gonna have a puff on that.")
We Had it All also knocks me out every time.

BTW, if you're including solo Jagger, you can't omit "Party Doll" off of Primitive Cool.
