[@ferm8103]

That's a great comment rockin Ed, did you ever get to read some of the stuff that the guys in the stones said when in the presence of the American artists who inspired them, they went to the top and became the greatest live act that ever existed but they had respect by the shitload for others, its a who's who of artists that went on to do well in their careers that early on got a prize slot opening for the stones, also, read what bob dylan says about the rolling stones, never a truer word spoken

So many people in this comments section like this song, but have ZERO clue of the absolute legend, Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. The man who changed country music FOREVER. To this day, still one of the most influential acts to ever hit airways, especially in the 40's to the 60's. Almost every country star pre 80's had a direct influence from that band, and pretty much every country legend had sang at-least one of their songs. Edit: An unknown fact, Bob Wills was the first man to ever sing an "ab-lib" on a record. His famous "Ahh-haaa". Still in the modern era, millions of songs use ab-libs like rap music. Bob did it first.

Just because Woody's playing well doesn't mean anyone needs to slag Keith off; it's not a war. Actually, playing country lead alongside a steely takes a fair bit of know-how and his Keithness is doing a fine job. They recruited Ron for his similarity to Keith and his character as well but what a bonus it was getting a good steely? I've loved his work on this instrument since "Sweet lady Mary" and "mandolin wind".

[@DDEENY]

... "Grown Up Wrong", "Dear Doctor", "Prodigal Son"', "You Got The Silver", "Sweet Virginia" ... The Stones always made the odd excursion into country-oriented music and made it work. The late '60's was a time in their career when they really began to get into it when they recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama. Too bad that Ricky Nelson was booed off the Madison Square Garden stage in 1971 while performing The Stones' "Country Honk". I think that The Stones' success was partly due to their never being purists with their music, although their long suit was always the blues.

[@DDEENY]

I'm sorry that I can't comment so objectively about The Stones' country music because apparently country music generally is just not for me, with the exception of "Wild Horses" which I really love. I really tried but could never take to country music, and I've been trapped in a situation with more than enough exposure to it to develop a taste for it, but for some reason it never clicked for me.

How could you not be a Stones fan? That boggles the mind. Truly.

Amazing British Man Could sing country Music so well. Sir Jager is the Greatest.

[@moeperry3606]

This was awesome just to see such a great band pay homage to Bob Wills and Waylon. Love it. Much respect.

[@leekoss7083]

Terrific performance!❤

[@DanDDirges]

I always liked the Rolling Stones country vibe. They always had it going back to the beginning.

[@CadillacL]

Dan D. Dirges I agree!!

[@williamscaff2761]

I think they done a hell of a job on this song can't quit listening to it. I never knew the Rolling Stones Did country and I found this by mistake and I downloaded it

[@CadillacL]

William Scaff You definitely need to check out some their The country rock stuff: Dead Flowers, can’t you hear me knocking, far away eyes

[@frankstackowitz9234]

Well, they ARE a Bar Band...so to speak

[@tcsmith9924]

Dan, I always said Gram Parsons taught the Stones country music (listen to Wild Horses" and they taught him heroin and Gram died. Still, they did a good job on this one

[@michaeljcommins]

Love it! So great to hear Mick and the Rolling Stones sing Bog Wills Is Still The King. Ireland's King of Country Music, Big Tom (McBride) has often told me in interviews that the Rolling Stones are his favourite rock band. Now I know why .....

[@jvsmith7888]

This has got to be the last surviving "British Invasion" Band,! This is especially true when you consider they have never broken up or retired, and they still have 3 out of 5 original members. Love them or hate them, you still have to give them kudos for still being able to rock it in their 70's.

[@josephjohnston9502]

The Rolling Stones have been doing country music for a long time . No Expectations, Girl with the Far Away Eyes,Let it Bleed just to name a few . The best band that ever was .

[@travisbickle707]

Heavily influenced by American Country and Blues music. When the stones did a lot of their country stuff people were saying they were doing parity and mocking country music….that is absolutely ridiculous on every single level of comprehension!!!

[@rhight]

Yes, they have. They have a feel for it.

[@MARKSMITH-bn4vg]

Sitting On A Fence, Dear Doctor, No Expectations, Factory Girl, You Got The Silver, Country Honk, Let It Bleed, Dead Flowers, Torn and Frayed, Sweet Virginia, Far Away Eyes (1968-1978)

The Rolling Stones are the greatest rock and roll band for a reason. This performance helps to explain the reasons why. Who else would even attempt this song live in front of a Texas crowd? That takes big balls, my friend!

[@edthesecond]

Why we love Waylon and the Stones. In a recorded interview, Marty Stuart told about Keith Richards meeting George Jones and how Keith was like a starstruck teenage kid when he was introduced to George.

[@Jleed989]

They did a song together on the Bradley Barn sessions

[@ksr9t]

@@edthesecond thats the song Keith and George sang on the Bradley Barn session Actually comment was meant for jleed. Seemed to be more knowledgeable concerning why they met.

[@edthesecond]

@@ksr9tI wasn't showing off my knowledge. I was making a point about Keith Richards' respect for country music in general and people like Waylon Jennings and George Jones in particular. I stopped playing those 'I know more than you' games when I left college.

[@andrewbrennan7291]

Great job from this English band ... I'd say they have a great future in Western Swing. This band will go far - mark my words!

[@popoaggie]

+Andrew Brennan Never make it big. No twin fiddlers.

[@relytj321]

Hahah! Exactly! Every good country song starts out with 2 taps on the fiddle!

[@janviljoen41]

What, no mandolin with the pedal steel?

[@popoaggie]

***** Diude, are you Ray Charles's stunt double? You obviously didn't see the humor . Called the Greatest band in rock and roll but they'll never make it big playing shit-kicker songs. Because they don't need to.

[@mdteletom1288]

They gave themselves only 6 months in '62.

[@mikelagana9937]

The Stones are a very serviceable country band!

[@davida.gorton7175]

Respect ! Well done Stones !!

[@amccar27]

Amazing that the stones are covering Waylon Jennings! And to hear the pop the crowd makes when Waylons name is brought up is awesome!

[@jeffduncan9140]

Aaron McCarty, check out All Over Now by the Stones. It's a Bobby Womack song that Waylon covered, too.

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

I thought I was the only one that got a kick out of hearing Sir Mick invoke Waylon's name. I mentioned it in a post some years back. posting 2-11-23.

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

@@jeffduncan9140 Never knew Waylon covered that one. I knew there was a country version, though. John Anderson covered it about 40 years ago.

[@jeffduncan9140]

@@TheBrooklynbodine Waylon's cover, I would imagine, is probably closer to original than the Stones' is. However, I think I like the slightly faster Stones version better, probably because that's what I heard first.

Rock n roller can play Steel...Woooo hooo! I am so proud of Ron Wood....Did Leon McAuliffe knew abou this? He'd be proud...A rock n roller can play steel...Go baby!!
