Catchin’ the Blues
Yesterday’s post motivated me to play some more gravel-voiced Blues.

Monkey Business
The first time I heard “Monkey Man” by the Rolling Stones was on an 8-track tape of the “Let It Bleed” album that one of my sisters had.
The song was recorded in April, 1969, three months before Brian Jones died. Every time I listen to “Monkey Man” I hear Jones’ distinctively ethereal influence in the recording, balancing Mick and Keith’s straightforward approach. Despite Brian not being listed as present in the studio.
