January 19, 2016 - The Rolling Stones - Parachute Woman (1968)


'Parachute Woman' from Beggars Banquet. Acoustic riff opens the song and pretty much keeps the rhythm throughout. Electric slide guitar buzzes along in parallel with the vocals during the verses, sometimes just playing one note can sound so cool. Keith plays s a couple of wonderfully basic solos in middle and end. Mick gets a nice harp outro there. This is a nice example of the sound they began to develop once they were done dabbling in psychedelia. Keith experienced his open g tuning epiphany and the rest is history. Regarding the lyrics, well...I will plead the fifth.
