Just watched the two Stones clips here. Brings home to me again that the Stones really were (are?) the greatest rock band ever, and this line-up with Mick Taylor's wonderfully bluesy guitar was particularly good. I always thought they did really good versions of my favorite 1950s/early 60s R&B songs (compared to the Beatles who couldn't cut it for me). Mick's black music influences were always obvious (Don Covay etc), but crikey, he in turn influenced almost everybody in (white) rock music. The punks used to sneer at the Stones but in retrospect you can hear them everywhere. I was just listening to the Saints' "Paralytic tonight, Dublin tomorrow" EP and Chris Bailey sounds so close to early Jagger. The Saints were arguably the best Aussie punk band (along with Radio Birdman) but the Stones debt is obvious.

Because I was a teen in the late '50s I still have a soft spot for real rock & roll. I was mostly into black artists and one of my alltime faves is Tarheel Slim (yeah OK he's probably obscure) who recorded in various styles including what I'd call "black rockabilly". These two tracks sound like they were recorded in Memphis but were actually cut in Harlem! I have to say too that digital versions of 50s/60s/70s music on youtube sound PISS WEAK compared to the original 45s blasted thru a couple of old fashioned 12" speakers with heaps of bass! Anyway we used to jump about at parties to these two:

Sorry, I've had a taste (or two) and I'm on a roll (you know how it is). Another black rockabilly, this one from Texas, from 1957. An example of the weird and wonderful music that existed way beyond the well known top forty stuff. This one was just plain silly really, but on 45 vinyl, blasted at parties, always got the jivers moving.

More monkey business, this time from Johnny Otis' classic "comeback" album in the late sixties featuring his teenage son Shuggie on lead guitar. Sounded better on vinyl of course.
