This song came up on my shuffle on this sunny Saturday morning with all the windows open and the sun glinting off the wooden floors. It sounded so, so right that I’ve put it on repeat and it hasn’t stopped looping yet. That harmonica solo at 2:45 is delicious.
Everyone should have this mp3, and play it loud.
Like A Rolling Stone (Bob Dylan cover) – The Rolling Stones

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson
Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.

This is right up there with ‘You Wreck Me’ by Tom Petty for songs I didn’t even realize I loved. I saw Petty at Outside Lands two years ago, and was prepared for a night of classics – ‘Mary Jane’, ‘Runnin Down A Dream’, etc. I had forgotten about ‘You Wreck Me’; but then it started, and I found myself wondering how I knew and could sing every single word. It’s now my favourite Tp tune.
Thanks for the reminder on this one.

Keith Richards always says that if you want to judge Mick’s musicianship, it comes out in his harmonica playing…

Thanks Heather…where is this from?

I don’t know where this particular recording is from. I first heard it on the excellent Colorado podcast Coverville in 2006. I googled around for information on its provenance, but didn’t turn up much. Readers?

There’s a version of it on the live album “Stripped”. (Thanks Spotify.)

This is definitely the version from Stripped. Not only should everyone have this unbelieveably great version, but everyone should have that album. Excellent set.
