WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Mott/StonesTag Team Perfection

Posted about 1 year ago
You can't beat old Mott The Hoople for some kick-ass rock grooves. As the story goes, the recording sessions for the Bowie produced savior effort "All The Young Dudes" took place in the same time and place where the Stones were laying down the tracks for "Sticky Fingers". Richards and Ralphs listened to what each other were coming up with across the hall, each trying to compose the groove-masters trump card. They hit their peak on Jerkin' Crocus/Brown Sugar. Sure, the Stones had the popularity contest sewn up before it even began, but that's not what it was about anyway...

  2. dermahrk says Interesting - and certainly Stones-derivative. I've only heard a few Mott tracks on AOR radio in the 70s, and enjoyed this.
