Down The Road ApieceĬhuck Berry recorded a guitar-based version of “Down The Road Apiece” but the most memorable version of Don Raye’s 1940 boogie-woogie classic was by pianist Amos Milburn. One great version, from their show at Madison Square Garden in November 1969, was captured for the album Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! The Rolling Stones In Concert, which was the first live album to reach No.
“Little Queenie” is a song of Berry’s that they frequently perform live. “The Greatest Poet Of Rock’n’Roll is an apt title for Chuck Berry,” say the liner notes for Confessin’ The Blues, adding, “once again we have to thank Mick and Keith for opening the door with ‘Come On’ in 1963.” That Chuck Berry track was on their debut single, and the Stones also chose Berry’s song “Carol” for the compilation. The Harpo version is on the first disc of the Confessin’ The Blues compilation. “What’s the point in listening to us doing ‘I’m A King Bee’ when you can hear Slim Harpo do it?” he said. Its importance among the songs that influenced The Rolling Stones is clear: Jagger insists that listeners should always return to the original. When they went into Regent Sound Studios in early 1964 to record their debut album, the Stones agreed that they wanted to do a version of Slim Harpo’s “I’m A King Bee.” They followed Harpo’s arrangements but added a slide-guitar break by Jones. Drummer Charlie Watts later revealed that his drum part was inspired by the one on Sam Cooke’s cover version. We liked that particular song, so we released it.” Jones played some energetic bottleneck guitar and Richards improvised on the rhythm guitar parts.
“We’ve been going on and on about blues, so we thought it was about time we stopped talking and did something about it. 1 on the UK charts for the first time, with a recording of Wolf’s “Little Red Rooster.” “The reason we recorded ‘Little Red Rooster” isn’t because we want to bring blues to the masses,” said Richards at the time. Wolf recorded many songs that influenced The Rolling Stones, and, two years after that performance, the band took a blues song to No. Jagger, Richards, and Jones were awestruck when, in 1962, they saw Howlin’ Wolf playing in Manchester at the American Folk Blues Festival. What a thrill it must have been for them on November 22, 1981, in the middle of an American tour, to perform the iconic song with Waters himself, in Chicago, at Buddy Guy’s club. You must be a good guy, let’s form a band.’” An energetic six-minute version of “Mannish Boy,” taken from a performance at the El Mocambo Tavern, Toronto, in March 1977, was included on the Stones’ live album Love You Live that year. “They noticed each other’s record collection and it was, ‘Hey, you’ve got Muddy Waters. “That’s how Mick and Keith first got close as well, on the train coming back from college,” recalled Ronnie Wood. Mick Jagger said that the first album he ever bought was Muddy Waters At Newport, and a shared admiration for the blues helped bring about a lifelong friendship.
