Brown Sugar

Um.

Or Brown Sugar.

Mm-mm.

Oh, Paint It Black?

Um, and I was thinking about The Rolling Stones, who, uh, The Rolling Stones is a band that I have loved my whole life.

And among their many, many songs that people love, uh, is Brown Sugar.

That's coming right up.

Yeah.

Yeah, and that's-

... or released

... you make a g- maybe intentionally or inadvertently, you just made a point that I, that I would like to touch on, which is that The Rolling Stones, uh, the, the song that I mentioned earlier, Brown Sugar, The Rolling Stones dropped that from their set list.

They'd been playing it for 50 years, and they dropped it in 2021.

A couple of years later, they're going to jump right into the fire and they get back to the classic Stones formula of raw, rhythm and blues driven rock and roll that launched their career.

From their 1971 Sticky Fingers album, Brown Sugar.

in the market down in New Orleans.

Scott O'Slaver know he's doing all right.

Yeah, we're going to hit Exile on Main Street, in fact.

A lot of people... will claim that exile on main street is the definitive stones album i disagree i i think sticky fingers as i listen to it in preparation for this show is just it's a virtually flawless album

yeah the second side of sticky fingers and i probably said this on the year view mirror show is one of the best second sides in rock and roll history This song, Brown Sugar, you know, it's a risque song.

Is the song about black

When the Swampers opened 3614, the business followed the sound.

The Rolling Stones came in 1969 and made Brown Sugar and Wild Horses in the Coffin Showroom.

Having arrived, per Rick Hall's dry summary, thinking they were cutting it faint.

And then there's the Paul Simon story.

Yeah, yeah.

So, Brown Sugar, You Gotta Move, Wild Horses, all on this album.

Most of the tracks recorded at that mobile studio in England.

It's now at the Recording Hall of Fame at that mobile studio.

He was 15 years old.

Right, exactly.

Original tracks included 10 tracks, Inside A, Brown Sugar, then Sway, then Wild Horses, Can You Hear Me Knockin'.

Oh, what a great tune that is.

But yeah, it's not for me as consistent as something like Diamond Dogs, for example, which on some days is my favourite of his 70s albums.

And it's interesting as well because it's supposedly about American soul singer Claudia Lanier, is that how you say it, who was also the subject of Brown Sugar.

Right.

Okay.

Welcome to the Start Your Weekend.

And that is an alternate version of Brown Sugar with Eric Clapton.

Not a bad guitarist on his own, is he? Welcome to Friday.

So what have we got in store for you? We've got that Friday feeling which comes with the show.
