Knockouts from the past…

23 July 2019

only release, although a honky-tonk version entitled ‘Country Honk‘ with some different lyrics appeared later in the year on their Let It Bleed LP, that also went to number one
in the States. The boiling live rendition at the legendary Hyde Park Concert in London a couple of weeks before is still my favorite performance of the song.
