The Rolling Stones – You Can’t Always Get Want You Want (Drums)

Drum cover of You Cant Always Get What You Want by The Rolling Stones from the Let It Bleed album. Jagger wrote the tune on an acoustic guitar referring it to as a "bedroom song" and had the idea of having a choir. Recorded in November 1968 at Londons Olympic Sound Studios, it features the London Bach Choir opening the song. Jimmy Miller, the Rolling Stones producer at the time, plays drums on this song instead of Charlie Watts as it proved to be quite difficult to record because Charlie couldnt play the groove and so Jimmy Miller had to play the drums. Al Kooper (Blues Project, Blood, Sweat & Tears, organ on Dylans Like A Rolling Stone) plays piano and organ and also played the French horn intro, while Rocky Dijon plays congas and maracas. Nanette Workman sings backup vocals, but she is credited as "Nanette Newman" John Lennon, as well as my observations, revealed that the Rolling Stones were apt to copy the Beatles innovations within a few months or so, You Cant Always Get What You Want is the Rolling Stones counterpart to Hey Jude". Jagger said in 1969, "I liked the way the Beatles did that with Hey Jude. The orchestra was not just to cover everything up—it was something extra. We may do something like that on the next album." Triggering a Ludwig Black or Blue Oyster Pearl kit was Addictive Drums.
