Rolling Stones with Ron Wood, Wayne Perkins, Billy Preston.
Provisionally Worried About You was also lined up
for the BLACK AND BLUE album. An out-take longer than the released
version has Mick Jagger giving guidance to the others on scale changes.
Its release was, however, held over until the TATTOO YOU album.
This was certainly an indication of the band's liking for the track,
but it also showed up a weak foundation of available material for
TATTOO YOU. Worried About You is a soft, melodious venture into
the Fool To Cry land of falsetto vocals (with the exception of Keith's
backing vocals), although the Jagger growl does explode later. A
piercing guitar solo is delivered mid-way through, an attempt by
Wayne Perkins to gloss over the loss of Mick Taylor. Apparently
Keith was warming to Wayne's input and he was becoming favourite
to take the spare guitar place. The electric piano at the heart
of the song is by Billy Preston. Another long version available
as an out-take was recorded at the Pathe Marconi Studios in July-October
1979 and this was edited for TATTOO YOU.
