@therenegadej5764 if youre refeerring tThe Rolling Stones and Waylon Ienjings, youre absolutely right, 2 different artists, both great in their own right from 2 different eras, both had great music. But I have never really liked Waylon Jennings but I love this by both of them, but b they're like chalk and cheese.
Ron Wood is playing the steel guitar for nearly 50 years on many recordings and during concerts. Of course he is playing it beautifully, and he can play it rough and whatever you want.
That's a great comment rockin Ed, did you ever get to read some of the stuff that the guys in the stones said when in the presence of the American artists who inspired them, they went to the top and became the greatest live act that ever existed but they had respect by the shitload for others, its a who's who of artists that went on to do well in their careers that early on got a prize slot opening for the stones, also, read what bob dylan says about the rolling stones, never a truer word spoken
How cool for the Stones to go into Texas and do a song especially for Texans. You can tell Mick was slightly out of his comfort zone, which made this all the more awesome. They nailed this song. A tribute to Bob Wills and Waylon in just under 4 minutes. This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen musically and I can't say I'm a huge Stones fan. Absolutely awesome.
Apparently you are just a fair weather Stones fan if you think Mick and the Stones have not covered country music before! Hell, "Far Away Eyes" easily could have been played on country music channels.
It sure could've. If I'd been in the audience when Sir Mick mentioned Waylon Jennings (0:43), I'd've been cheering the loudest and stomping a hole in the floor.
"Dead Roses" by the Legendary Townes Van Zandt which The Stones Covered in 1972 jumps immediately to mind. The Melody is trippy and Hardshell C&W!😂😉🎤🎼🎵🎶🎸🎹🎻🥁🇬🇧🥀🥀B.W.

So many people in this comments section like this song, but have ZERO clue of the absolute legend, Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. The man who changed country music FOREVER. To this day, still one of the most influential acts to ever hit airways, especially in the 40's to the 60's. Almost every country star pre 80's had a direct influence from that band, and pretty much every country legend had sang at-least one of their songs. Edit: An unknown fact, Bob Wills was the first man to ever sing an "ab-lib" on a record. His famous "Ahh-haaa". Still in the modern era, millions of songs use ab-libs like rap music. Bob did it first.
Drove Amarillo to Oklahoma City many times. They had a great country oldies station out Muskogee, used to play all the greats. Reminded me of growing up listening to WJJD in Chicago. Used to jam to Waylon, Johnny, Merle, Buck, George, Bob, along with Bad Co., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stones, Santana, Earth Wind & Fire, Muddy Waters. And of course Jim Reeves. Thank You to my parents for turning me on to an appreciation of timeless classics.
The credits to the songwriter in the beginning. Played in true country style. Even though you built a brand in another genre. These gentlemen are a touch of class we likely won't see again.
Good to see an English rock band acknowledge the immense talent and timeless music of Bob Wills and Waylon Jennings. How I yearn for real country music.
Check out on RUclips Heidi Hauge, Heather Myles, Darrel Armstrong, Kirsten Dauggard, Shawn Diddy, Ben Haggard Olivia Harms Sara Storer, and Hoss Curtis. Like them? Look on Amazon and eBay for their music CDs. May have to a google search for each artist to get their direct website. May be able to get CDs that way.
A country guitarist said of the Rollings Stones, “They were one of the five best rock bands and also one of the five best country bands.” I think he was on to something.
I was in the park that night. This was just an electric and magical moment-the shock of recognition that ran through the crowd was incredible. Sure, it’s ragged and under-rehearsed, but that wasn’t what mattered. It was a tribute to Bob, Waylon, and the Lone Star state and a chance to see a song they will never perform again.
Love your line ragged and unrehearsed, but it didn't matter. The audience loved not only mentioning Waylon, but Willie Nelson. To a man, the Rolling Stones appreciated those who came before them, are truly students of their music and that respect shines in this performance. Remember they wouldn't play an American TV show unless it was agreed that Howlin' Wolf did the opening for them.
Jim Wills, I am currently exchanging with the Bob Wills Foundation and Carolyn Wills regarding a fiddle that belonged to Bob Wills. If you would reach out to me so that I can share the story and pics, I would appreciate it.
Stones have a huge country influence. This is not out of their comfort zone at all. In fact quite the opposite. Jagger is known for wanting to be a country singer at a young age...they nail this song
If I didn't know better, I would say they have been playing country music forever. Now this is the state of Country Music today, the Rolling Stones are better than any country performer today. But I also believe any Rock N Roll fan will say the state of that music also from today doesn't measure up to what the Stones produced.
@lowellcalavera6045 absolutely! I still think country with Mick's English twang is amusing, though. You can also hear Mick do a great job with Irish folk music singing Handsome Molly on his Wandering Spirit album.
Your kidding, right? RS has loved and done many country songs ... Not to mention country music is just slowed down rock music... same as the blues being transformed into heavy metal in a slowed down version
It really isn't out of their wheelhouse, as Dead Flowers and Honky Tonk Women are country songs. Ronnie Wood has always played the pedal steel. IMHO. That being said I haven't heard the Waylon Jennings version.
XOkie I agree 100%. The Stones have done several great country songs including Country Tonk and You Better Move On. Mick with The Chieftans did an EXCELLENT job on Long Black Veil.
... "Grown Up Wrong", "Dear Doctor", "Prodigal Son"', "You Got The Silver", "Sweet Virginia" ... The Stones always made the odd excursion into country-oriented music and made it work. The late '60's was a time in their career when they really began to get into it when they recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama. Too bad that Ricky Nelson was booed off the Madison Square Garden stage in 1971 while performing The Stones' "Country Honk". I think that The Stones' success was partly due to their never being purists with their music, although their long suit was always the blues.
I'm sorry that I can't comment so objectively about The Stones' country music because apparently country music generally is just not for me, with the exception of "Wild Horses" which I really love. I really tried but could never take to country music, and I've been trapped in a situation with more than enough exposure to it to develop a taste for it, but for some reason it never clicked for me. Thanks.
Yup! Keith Richards and the late great Gram Parsons (the pioneer of country rock) were best friends and it was Gram who (by Keith's own admission) opened the Stones up to country music. Keith and Mick actually gifted Wild Horses to Gram's band the Flying Burrito Brothers over a year before they recorded it themselves.
@@idicula1979 You've got that backwards. You can't play Rock & Roll without Country, which was around a lot sooner. There's been plenty of cross-pollination for sure, but without blues and country and soul already existing, rock would have never been born.
Gary Kerns I understood your comment. My point.. where ever Waylon is, I hoped he heard the applause when Mick said "Waylon Jennings" If I had a dime for every time I have listen to this song off "Waylon Live, I wouldn't need to go to work every day. LOL
Just because Woody's playing well doesn't mean anyone needs to slag Keith off; it's not a war. Actually, playing country lead alongside a steely takes a fair bit of know-how and his Keithness is doing a fine job. They recruited Ron for his similarity to Keith and his character as well but what a bonus it was getting a good steely? I've loved his work on this instrument since "Sweet lady Mary" and "mandolin wind".
The Rolling Stones have been doing country music for a long time . No Expectations, Girl with the Far Away Eyes,Let it Bleed just to name a few . The best band that ever was .
Heavily influenced by American Country and Blues music. When the stones did a lot of their country stuff people were saying they were doing parity and mocking country music….that is absolutely ridiculous on every single level of comprehension!!!
Sitting On A Fence, Dear Doctor, No Expectations, Factory Girl, You Got The Silver, Country Honk, Let It Bleed, Dead Flowers, Torn and Frayed, Sweet Virginia, Far Away Eyes (1968-1978)
the thing is they weren't doing it to be funny or making fun of the music....they enjoyed doing it and showed absolute respect for the sound, the song and Waylon and Bob and the TX Playboys.. The Stones... no matter their reputation with some people they are and always have been a class act

Just proves that the Rolling Stones are the greatest band ever. Name someone else that can rock your ass off, then completely change into an authentic sounding country band for a one-off. Nobody.
This has got to be the last surviving "British Invasion" Band,! This is especially true when you consider they have never broken up or retired, and they still have 3 out of 5 original members. Love them or hate them, you still have to give them kudos for still being able to rock it in their 70's.
I think they done a hell of a job on this song can't quit listening to it. I never knew the Rolling Stones Did country and I found this by mistake and I downloaded it
Dan, I always said Gram Parsons taught the Stones country music (listen to Wild Horses" and they taught him heroin and Gram died. Still, they did a good job on this one
Amazing band. 80 years old and still performing. Cannot be for the lack of money, they must just love performing. I have been a fan for more years than I would like to remember.
Love it! So great to hear Mick and the Rolling Stones sing Bog Wills Is Still The King. Ireland's King of Country Music, Big Tom (McBride) has often told me in interviews that the Rolling Stones are his favourite rock band. Now I know why .....
***** Diude, are you Ray Charles's stunt double? You obviously didn't see the humor . Called the Greatest band in rock and roll but they'll never make it big playing shit-kicker songs. Because they don't need to.
Great band, I was too young to see them back then, but I got a third row seat and saw them in Dec 1994 Voodoo Lounge tour. Still a great band. In Vancouver. Rogers Arena had just opened, and the sound was not figuered out yet. Oh well, still a great concert!
I'd never in my life would have thought I'd ever hear the rolling stones sing country music. However this is the best version I've heard since waylon himself.

You have to hand it to The Rolling Stones. There is no other bigger appreciator of American music.
especially southern blues/gospel/country, which is the grandfather of rock and roll.

There's still good country music being made by artists in Nashville.
Can you imagine if the stones did a country concert at the Opry?
Freaking Awesome!!!!!
More country than anything out of Nashville these days
You damn well got that right!!
It's sad that the Stones can wing it and beat that $hit today.
Amen Miss Ashley!!!
Chee Migwitch!(big thank you) That new country is real bad twangy r & r. RED LAKE
STANDING CLOUD.
Accurate
Never was a Rolling Stones fan. Until now.
Too bad, you let so much slip through your fingers.
How could you not be a Stones fan? That boggles the mind. Truly.
They did a good job! I am seriously surprised!! Thank you, Mick and all the band, great playing.
Just proves that the Rolling Stones are the greatest band ever. Name someone else that can rock your ass off, then completely change into an authentic sounding country band for a one-off. Nobody.
Beatles did Act Naturally by Buck Owens
@@raydaitch905 🤣🤣
Beatles
Lmao. Agreed.
Once is enough (with willie) by aerosmith.
Rock, pop, country, reggae, disco. Yeah, they can do it.
I think Waylon wouldn't mind this. The Stones had a lot of stones to do this. Thumbs up.
Agree. Waylon was all about people should play the music they want to play not the music other people expect them to play.
This is pure gold!
The Rolling Stones deserve to be in the Country Hall of Fame.
Waylons got a smile.....The Stones covered his song! Ronny working that steel guitar!
Bob Wills is smiling down no doubt!
This has got to be the last surviving "British Invasion" Band,! This is especially true when you consider they have never broken up or retired, and they still have 3 out of 5 original members. Love them or hate them, you still have to give them kudos for still being able to rock it in their 70's.
Mick, Keith, Ronni ,Charlie, super good English country band ! Wow! I like ! & RIP Charlie !
I always liked the Rolling Stones country vibe. They always had it going back to the beginning.
Dan D. Dirges I agree!!
I think they done a hell of a job on this song can't quit listening to it. I never knew the Rolling Stones Did country and I found this by mistake and I downloaded it
William Scaff You definitely need to check out some their The country rock stuff: Dead Flowers, can’t you hear me knocking, far away eyes
Well, they ARE a Bar Band...so to speak
Dan, I always said Gram Parsons taught the Stones country music (listen to Wild Horses" and they taught him heroin and Gram died. Still, they did a good job on this one
Never heard the Rolling Stones sing Country Before... Wow... Stunning... Naturals... Awesome! Sound Super Dooper Triple Good!
Amazing band. 80 years old and still performing. Cannot be for the lack of money, they must just love performing. I have been a fan for more years than I would like to remember.
Love it! So great to hear Mick and the Rolling Stones sing Bog Wills Is Still The King. Ireland's King of Country Music, Big Tom (McBride) has often told me in interviews that the Rolling Stones are his favourite rock band. Now I know why .....
Wow...just totally respect the Stones for doing that song!
Always liked the Stone’s when they went country. Some GIrls album was so refreshing.
Superb, hellish country from The Stones
Waylon laid it down and Keith picked it up. Music rolls on!!
Great job from this English band ... I'd say they have a great future in Western Swing. This band will go far - mark my words!
+Andrew Brennan Never make it big. No twin fiddlers.
Hahah! Exactly! Every good country song starts out with 2 taps on the fiddle!
What, no mandolin with the pedal steel?
***** Diude, are you Ray Charles's stunt double? You obviously didn't see the humor . Called the Greatest band in rock and roll but they'll never make it big playing shit-kicker songs. Because they don't need to.
They gave themselves only 6 months in '62.
If I hadn't heard it, I wouldn't have believed it. Mick doing Waylon doing Bob Wills! Fantastic!
What a surprise! Brought tears to my my eyes!
proud Texan and great tribute
The Stones are a very serviceable country band!
Worlds greatest R&R Band, Bar none.Been listenin 2 them for over 50 years. Semper Fi
R and B, sir.
@@ruffian2952 R&B, R&R, Country, not a bad reggae band either. Had a few pop hits I'm told.
@@Maltloaflegrande I stand corrected but back in 1964 they claimed to be R&B oriented so I stuck with that.
No other band can cover so many genres of music so brilliantly!
Ronnie did the trick. Classy act by him. Very well performed Stones. The crowd loved it.. keep Rolling
Great band, I was too young to see them back then, but I got a third row seat and saw them in Dec 1994 Voodoo Lounge tour.
Still a great band. In Vancouver. Rogers Arena had just opened, and the sound was not figuered out yet. Oh well, still a great concert!
I think they did a fantastic job with this classic.
Easily my favorite band. This is another reason why.
I'd never in my life would have thought I'd ever hear the rolling stones sing country music. However this is the best version I've heard since waylon himself.
ruclips.net/video/HAHsw4-J6bo/видео.html Dead Flowers
Dead flowers ,girl with far away eye's very country very good 👍
Influenced by the late great Gram Parsons. (Hanging out with Keith & Mick probably led to poor old, young Gram’s early demise).
@@petergamma1801 wouldn't be a bit surprised
@@petergamma1801 well I'm shore Brian Jones would agree !
Gotta hand it to the Stones: it took a lot of guts to sing that song in Texas as a British rock group. Kudos to Mick and the boys!
Terrific performance!❤
That's the Stones for you... musical class all the way! This is an example of why they've been around for a thousand years.
