Reading between the Grooves
Every so often, I will do a feature on covers. I actually planned to do this Second Week Feature back in 2013, but replaced it with something else. Now time is on my side to look at covers of songs originally recorded by The Rolling Stones.

As we continue our look at covers of Rolling Stones recordings that I've titled as "Rolling Clones," today's remake is of global proportions. Playing for Change is an amalgamation of musicians from all over the world who collaborate digitally to release some amazing recordings.

Looking for unique versions of Rolling Stones' songs has be somewhat of a challenge, but not an impossibility. One that is different from the original recording comes from the 2007 release of the "House M.D. Original Television Soundtrack." Today's Rolling Clones' selection is the Band from TV's recording of "You Can't Always Get What You Want."

It is day four of our series "Rolling Clones" and we have a very nice and bluesy rendition of the Stone's 1964 American hit "Heart of Stone." Although released on an EP in the UK, it was one of the few Rolling Stones' hits that was not issued in their homeland as a single release.

In looking for Rolling Stones covers by other artists, I found an acoustic version of "Play with Fire" by Michelle Branch. While it is one of the better known Stones' ballads, " Play with Fire " was issued as a flip side to "The Last Side" and received some airplay in its own right.
The Horror!!
