The Rolling Stones, "Little by Little"

[ch willie]

I'd never stopped to really listen to this tune until now. Glad I did.

It's a bluesy tune with a bit of thievery and a bit of homage. But listen to how Brian and Keef's guitars work together in ways that are exciting and new. They fahkin' rockkkkk.

Years ago, there was a local DJ going by the name of "Cerphe" (real name Donald Colwell) who had as his program's theme song a driving instrumental that became very familiar after a while. I soon learned it was the only pure instrumental tune by a very young (1964) Rolling Stones. The title derives from the address of Chess Records in Chicago, where the Stones did some recording. In later years other instrumental recordings by the Stones appeared, usually as studio outtakes, bootlegs, or remix/expanded issues.
