HOW WILL YOU BE PAYING MR. JAGGER?

Muscle Shoals Wild Horses Bill

This Muscle Shoals bill for a Rolling Stones session in 1969 is quite a piece of rock ‘n’ roll history. The Stones were putting together a masterpiece that was to become Sticky Fingers. Part of a 4 album run of incredible work that took them from Beggars Banquet to Exile on Main St. Easily one of the most prolific periods from a rock ‘n’ roll band ever. As the bills illustrates, they headed to Muscle Shoals Studios, like many other musicians at the time, looking for a sound that was unique to the studio. See intangible. There’s a great documentary, Muscle Shoals, about the studio and the incredible musicians who worked there that you should see. Like now.

Back to the not so small matter of the bill, we first saw it on none other than Dave Stewart’s Facebook feed. No word on whether Keith or Mick had exact change on them the time.
