A Rolling Stone Gathers No Whatever
From 2013 -- and speaking of cover versions of songs by Mick and Keith, as we were talking about last Friday -- please enjoy Nicole Kidman's beard fabulous Australian country-rocker Keith Urban and a live take on the Stones' "Tumblin' Dice" that essentially, totally, kicks ass.
Jeebus, the motherfucker actually takes the guitar solo and nails it.
I'd wager that's better than the current vintage of The Stones are capable of. I know nearly nothing of Keith Urban. Now I have a favorable impression.
That was from a week of Stones covers on Fallon's show, as I recall. Also that week: a burning "Rip This Joint" from Green Day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en4W8G0pFog

ReplyDeleteI know nearly nothing of Keith Urban. Now I have a favorable impression.
his albums are straight modern country, but in concert he has Brad Paisley chops.
ReplyDeleteV. nice.
ReplyDeleteI believe you have transposed beard and beardee.
ReplyDeleteUrban did a good cover of "Gimme Shelter" a while back.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Paisley I caught a bit of one of his concerts the other day. Whew. The man can play.
Is that Chuck Leavel?

ReplyDeleteUrban is actually a New Zealander, but he, like everyone else, seems to have forgotten that. So fuck him.
