Rolling Stones with Bill Plummer, Bobby Keys, Jim Price, Nicky Hopkins.
Kick ass and roll; the Stones shift their butts
on this two minute electric rock'n' roller. Nicky Hopkins pounces
on the black and white keys and the sax squeals in surprise while
Bill 'winkle pickers Comet' Plummer plays the upright bass. The
track's foundation, however, is the enraged guitar work of Keith
Richards and the Route 66 type lyrics of Mick Jagger, which travel
the States. Ah, let it rock, wham bam, round and round we go! Mention
is made of the President, Richard Nixon aand the First Lady, Pat
Nixon. It is classic Stones material. An early unavailable out-take
has Keith on vocals and is probably the original version recorded
before the overdubs were made.
