Rolling Stones "May" Be Working On a Covers Album-If So- What Songs Would You Like Them to Record???

According to,the same NME article that quoted Keith's comments on various Beatle related topics, the article staes the Stones are recording an album and that it may be a covers album.

Let's say Mick or Keith or both Glimmer Twins ring you up and say: " Hey buddy what songs would you like us to record? ( if any) LOL, which songs would you tell em to get working on??

I'll go first;

First off; don't make them studio versions - record them live in front of an audiance, even if it's as small as a bunch of studio employees.

1 Love Man by Otis Redding

2.Piece of My Heart - Janis Joplin

3. I Can't Dance - Gram Parsons

4.Dont Let Me Down - Beatles

5- Alright Now - Free

 

Rave On - Buddy Holly

 

Monkberry Moon Delight

 

Okay, but they need to put some effort into them if they are going to do them live.

Too often in recent years, their cover versions performed live sound very bare-bones, half-hearted, jokey, and don't bring much new/different to the table. I never need to hear them do "Love Train", "Bob Wills Is Still The King", or "Corrina Corrina" ever again. For that matter, even with as much effort as they put into it, "Like A Rolling Stone" paled in comparison to Dylan's original studio and Dylan's live performances.

 

This is actually a great suggestion for them.

 

Spoonful, Smokestack Lightning & Wang Dang Doodle - Howlin' Wolf

Homework - Otis Rush

That's All I Need - Magic Sam

Too Much Monkey Business - Chuck Berry

Dead Presidents - Little Walter

Help Me - Sonny Boy Willimason

 

I had too much to dream last night.

 

Supper's ready

 

Direct Me & Match Game - Otis Redding

You Don't Miss Your Water - William Bell

Tulane - Chuck Berry

 

Chuck Berry - "It Wasn't Me"
Chuck Berry "You Never Can Tell"
Otis Redding - Just One More Day


Would love to hear Keith do "Thousand Dollar Wedding" on vocals - but I'm not sure he could remember all those words. Maybe he could do "Love Hurts" as a duet if Emmylou or somebody female helps him out.

 

I Second That Emotion - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

 

Even better, with its Bo Diddley beat, the follow up single, "Get Me To The World On Time". Or, at minimum, just do a live "Please Go Home" and I'd be happy.

 

I'm Waiting For The Man .

 

Absolutely on the effort point. When I wrote that I was channeling Carol and Little Queenie from Ya Ya's and Just My Imagination , from Still Life.

 

Soul Meeting - Solomon Burke

American Woman/No Sugar Tonight (fusion) Guess Who

Where Did Our Love Go? - Supremes

Wild Honey- Beach Boys

When A Man Loves A Woman- Percy Sledge

One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer - John Lee Hooker

I'm Losing You- John Lennon

 

Papa was a Rolling Stone
I Wish It Would Rain
Staying Alive
Youth of Eglington
Whatever Gets You Through the Night

 

Paperback Writer

Whatever Gets You Through The Night

Coming Up

 

Who Do You Love? & Pills - Bo Diddley

 

Don't Pass Me By - The Beatles

 

Wait a minute -- I thought they were already working on a blues album (by definition, usually covers)?

 

"Constant Craving"

 

Not necessarily. The Stones have written blues songs that aren't cover tunes.
