I think 1972 Rolling Stones covering Dylans "It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry" would be near musical perfection

"For I am sleeping under strange, strange skies
Just another mad, mad day on the road
My dreams is fading down the railway line
I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road."
I'm generally not a fan of "road" songs from famous musicians, they're just too prone to cliche
But Mick lets us peek behind the mask here to see how empty the pop life really is.
No Keef on this track (he was notoriously unreliable around this time due to his drug habit)
Just Mick and Mick Taylor doing the all night studio thing
with some lovely strings tacked on.
IMO one of the Stones' most underrated songs.

The perfect track (no disrespect to Keith who is missing from it); it’s a terrific reminder that a wonderful end result can come out of something you didn’t take too seriously at first. (Mick considered this song to be a “doodle” and was unsure if it was ready to record).
