Dead Flowers.
(lyrics)
Well when you’re sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talkin’ to some rich folk that you know
Well I hope you won’t see me in my ragged company
Well, you know I could never be alone
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you’re the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
Well when you’re sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
Ah, I’ll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you’re the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won’t forget to put roses on your grave

Check out Faraway Eyes, flip side of Miss You, when released as a single or, the original Honky Tonk (Women) on Let It Bleed

Yeah, I actually checked out Faraway eyes and was disappointed with the song. Going to check out Miss You, and revisit Honky Tonk Women.

Yes, Faraway Eyes is too much of a parody but it’s the Let it Bleed album you should check out.

Just did ‘Beast of Burden’. Strange enough, I have yet to listen to ‘Let it Bleed’ in its entirety. Will do that today!

You’ll be surprised at Country Honk. As a life long Stones fan, those three albums, Beggars’ Banquet, Let it Bleed and Sticky Fingers remain my favourites. It’s no accident, either, considering the guitarist.

Mick Taylor and Keith…Wow love this Country Honk! Violin in left channel..The acoustic part, the playing is superb, love the mix on this better than what I have heard on the radio all these years.

Remember those albums were made during a time of creative turmoil for the ‘Stones and the death of Brian Jones. Keith Richards was hanging out with Gram Parsons and Mick Taylor, an 18 year old, was carrying the weight but being treated like an apprentice

One of my friends told me about the whole Gram Parsons bit, that he introduced Keith to heroin.. I did not know that Mick Taylor was only 18. I saw the footage of the show right after Brian’s death. Strange, it worked so well.

A boy genius. Strangely, I first encountered him on John Mayall’s Blues from Laurel Canyon

Honky Tonk Women appeared on the Hexagonal gatefold sleeved greatest hits album, Through the Past, Darkly, that was released shortly after the ‘Stones Hyde Park concert, in honour of Brian Jones. It is Country Honk, but as a rhythm and blues song

Original vinyl, then you have a mono printing that is highly valuable.

It’s a stereo copy, I have. Most of them were in 1969

Ahh! I read that those were their last albums printed in mono, so I made the assumption.. Love the mixes on all the tunes.

I think I got my first proper stereo in 1968 so it would’ve been my natural choice to go with the new fangled option

Let’s not get carried away. It was a plastic box with two other plastic boxes and a bunch of wires. It took three more years for me to piece together my own ‘separates’ set up

Okay.. I understand that..It was not until around 1981 that my Dad finally purchased a proper one..Told me which records not to touch..So my sister and I every weekend proceeded to buy bunches of candy, and scratch the heck out of his girlfriend’s lp’s. Beatle’s 45’s, Scott Joplin doin’ his ragtime stuff.

My first experience with music was listening to my cousins’ albums on an old chestnut cabinet gramophone. Their music ranged from Elvis to Marty Robbins and all The Beatles’ early stuff

I’m going to see a blues artist called C.W. Stoneking on Sunday night. He’s Australian. You should check him out, there’s a touch of Dr John/Louis Armstrong/ Louis Prima about him.
