"Little Red Rooster [live]"
by The Rolling Stones
from the album
Flashpoint
Written by ant
Dontcha just love Mick's way of stating the obvious?!! Over the duh-duh-di-dum introduction, he considers it necessary to inform us "We're gonna do a bit of a blues for ya now."
It's a well laid-back version of the old Willie Dixon classic, which they'd first covered as a single way back in '64. Here, Eric Clapton guests for the guitar solos.
Messrs. Watts and Wyman hold it all together, as dependable as ever, allowing everyone else to (over) indulge however they see fit. There's some tasty slide guitar, and the tinkling piano pays a fitting tribute to the late Sixth Stone, Ian Stewart. Mick blows a fruity harp part. Wrinkles aside, we could almost be back in the Crawdaddy Club!
