Reply to comment by gimpy1511 in If you could "listen" to an album for the first time again which album would you pick? by JGCities

I just put this on the turntable again last week. I've heard it probably a thousand times -- and each time I'm in awe that such a perfect piece of art exists in the world. To be so lucky to hear it for the first time... I genuinely wish I could go back and remember that.

Couldn't agree more.

I believe it's JPJ also on the "Ol' Man River" keyboard taping found on Jeff Beck's astronomically important TRUTH album.

And certainly on bass on Donovan's "Season Of The Witch" along with Page on guitar, as they accompanied much of Donovan's sessions.

Fwiw.

Oh and yes, Monkey Man is still somewhere amid my all-time top 10 from the band. No question.

People always look at me weird when I list Monkey Man as one of my favorite Stones songs. Rock and roll piano/keys are great, but it’s the more classical stuff that really brings out the true beauty of a piano. I need to listen to more honestly.

I fell in love with mandolin when I got into the newgrass movement and really discovered bluegrass in the 90s. I was also young and having good times listening to this music so it is associated with fond memories.

I never really thought about it, but it does surprise me a bit that it was John Paul Jones on the mandolin. Thanks for that.

I'll tell you no Little Lies in that they have a song or fifty which a time or several hundred have had me Hypnotized!

I've listened to many of their songs Over And Over, whether during Storms or on days there was Love In Store.

I Don't Want To Know just how they became so remarkably gifted, because I Walk A Thin Line in believing they definitely had an Angel in their presence and you can ask any Gold Dust Woman about this, this adherence to never breaking The Chain.
