DESCRIPTION:
Mick Taylor is one of the most underrated Guitar Players in Rock & Roll !
Track one " Jiving Sister Fanny " * lower east side exclusive *



Mick Taylor made the Stones a better band with his melodic chords , soulful solo's , cat was spot on ! When Brian Jones sunk deeper into the demons of drug addiction the glimmer twins recruited a young blues virtuoso from John Mayall's Blues Breakers. When SWAY was recorded Keith Richards was nowhere to be found so Taylor laid down all the guitar tracks but Taylor never received songwriting credits. Taylor was never accepted into the inner circle the band belonged to the Glimmer twins. Taylor also looked around at the condition of the band members who were all strung out on drugs and thought the band would implode,Taylor also was strung out on drugs. Then he listened to his ex-wife who told him to quit so Taylor quit the Stones and attempted to form a supergroup with ex -Cream bassist Jack Bruce which fizzled ! Meanwhile the Stones replaced Taylor with a sloppy guitar player who couldn't string Mick Taylor's Guitars !

At the wee age of 20 years old, guitarist Mick Taylor (of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers fame) replaced Brian Jones, in what as that time the greatest rock and roll band in the world-- the Rolling Stones. Well the best was yet to come, as they went on to record the epic musical masterpieces-- Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street.

Then suddenly in '74, Mick dropped out. Some say he was kicked out-- but Taylor simply had enough of the chaos, drugs, and strain that came with being in the Stones. Had he stayed, Taylor adamantly believes that the Stones' life of debauchery would have killed him.
The one thing no one argues, not even the Stone's themselves, is that Mick Taylor's musical prowess far surpassed that of his former band mates. His fluid and bluesy guitar work held the group together through many of Richards' drug and alcohol binges. The irony is that many fans unwittingly attribute much of Mick Taylor's picking on countless Stones' classics from '69-'74 to guitar frontman, Keith Richards.

Back in '82, the Stone's management cut-off royalties due to Taylor for his work with the band-- essentially screwing him. Adding insult to injury, they threw this tasty gem in the recently released documentary "Stones in Exile"--

Bassist Bill Wyman declares, "Musically he (Mick Taylor) was a better musician than the other guys in the band. Some of the things he did was amazing but he was incredibly boring onstage. He'd do the most amazing licks, riffs and solos but he'd just stand there and look at his guitar. God, the audience would see the top of his head all the time. I always thought he could've been a bit more... but then I'm not a good one to talk. I don't leap about much. In 30 years with The Stones I've probably made three steps on the stage."

Jiving Sister Fanny told her man from Philadelphia Pa
Uh huh, huh, huh
He tore down the station, said she didn't like the way we played
Uh huh, huh, huh
If you got a diff'rent guy,
Bitch you better be the one
Hanging from the duties by
The cold grab you by the while
Ooh child, you've got me walking down a broad highway
Uh huh, huh, huh

Now Jiving Sister Fanny's got the brain of a dinosaur
Uh huh, huh, huh
Yeah she hocked my fancy mother
And she hocked my electric guitar
Uh huh, huh, huh
Then she's waiting in the store,
That's the way, the way to go
Now she's found the way to go,
Goodbye Charlie, get your way
Ooh child, you've got me walking down a broad highway

And-a 'come on boy, I want you to fuck'
Ah yeah, ooh, oh yeah come on by

Ooh child, you've got me walking down a broad highway
Uh huh, huh, huh
Yeah yeah, Jiving sister Fanny brought a man down the broad highway
Uh huh, huh, huh
Yeah she even took the question
And she didn't like the games we played
Na na na na na na
Yeah you've got my way around,
You've got me out of town
A man from Philadelphia
Forget about a public house
Ooh child, you've got me walking down a broad highway
Ooh!
