Hey gang--- We're still mining the old veins, it seems. After some digging, it turns out that more classic rock tunes remain from the summer, '10 session of my buddy Johnny Stack and me. What we have here is your basic meat and potatoes Rolling Stones fare, not quite bookending the tenure of guitarist Mick Taylor in the band (a.k.a. the "Golden Age" to many Stones fans).
"Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" bears one of the my favorite dumbest rock titles of all time (I dunno-- possibly to discriminate it from the Zeppelin song?). It hails from '73's "Goats Head Soup", one of the minor gems in the Stones' catalog. It's a fine and groovy and grimy tune.
"Gimme Shelter" (1969) is, of course, a certified rock classic, emerging from the Brian Jones- Mick Taylor interregnum. Given that, little needs to be said, other than that anybody trying to cover the song without the vocal assistance of Merry Clayton is probably gonna fall flat on their face one way or the other.
