“Live With Me” by The Rolling Stones

"Live with Me" is where the Mick Taylor era of the Rolling Stones starts: the first song the band recorded with their new guitarist, even though the basic track was cut on 24 May 1969, weeks before he joined, and his part had to be dubbed on later. It landed on Let It Bleed that year, one of only two songs there with Taylor aboard ("Country Honk" is the other), and it's the first taste of the two-lead-guitar sound he and Keith Richards built together. Mick Jagger and Richards wrote it, Jagger sings, Richards also plays bass, and Charlie Watts drums.

Jimmy Miller produced with Glyn Johns engineering. It was Bobby Keys' first Stones session on tenor sax and Leon Russell's only one, on piano next to Nicky Hopkins, and it was these lyrics, the story goes, that made the London Bach Choir ask to go uncredited on "You Can't Always Get What You Want".
