Jair My fave is Blinded by Love, from Steel Wheels. Of course, there are some obvious choices in Let it Bleed, Beggars Banquet...

Isn't that from Memory Motel?

Dead Flowers, no doubt 'bout that.

quackenbush I think Far Away Eyes is their best, but I think
the Handsome Family performs it better. They do a straight non-jokey version.

Yes, indeed:

(...)Hannah baby was a honey of a girl
Her eyes were hazel her teeth were slightly curved
She took my guitar and she began to play
She sang a song to me, stuck right in my brain...

Lord Homosex Blinded by Love is probably the worst ever song period the Stones have evr done. Not only country...
The lyrics are laughable. The music a joke. They used to do any kind of genre right. Today there is too much. You don't need a pedal steel, violin, fourteen accoustic guitars, dobro, slide this and that just because you can.
