10 MORE REASONS TO COVER THE ROLLING STONES

1. Before They Make Me Run-Steve Earle. Probably my favorite Kieth tune (yeah, including Happy).

2. Dead Flowers-the eels

3. Jumping Jack Flash-Leon Russell

Jumping Jack Flash-Guns and Roses (acoustic)

4. Divorce Song/Emotional Rescue-Liz Phair

5. Stray Cat Blues-Soundgarden

6. Let It Bleed-Black Crowes

7. My least favorite tune from Exile on Main Street: Rip This Joint-Afghan Whigs

And my favorite tune from Exile: Shine a Light-Alejandro Escovedo.

8. Moonlight Mile-Jason Isbell. I guess lots of folks were disappointed by his solo album, but I wasn’t. I love it. Love it!

9. It’s All Over Now-Social Distortion

10. I’m closing out with two unknown bands who do what I think are some pretty wild takes on these exceedingly overplayed Stones tunes. I think they’re really cool. What do you all think? (That’s not rhetorical–tell me!)

Sympathy-The Trews

YCAGWYW-The Disco Biscuits

    I was perusing for a certain Black Crowes track this morning, stumbled across your blog, and found myself glad to have found it.

    I, was also satisfied by Isbell’s album…. I’d been waiting for it for so freakin long, and in my opinion, it did not disappoint.

    The Trews cover of Sympathy for the devil might well be the WORST STONES COVER OF ALL TIME. The singer has that (college-alternative-Hootie-Vedder) warbling sound which is a complete disaster, the drums are plainly ridiculous in their supposed funkyness and the sharp guitar riff is changed to Dobbie Brothers softrock heaven. An atrocity! Out of the bunch I like the Eels cover the best.
