LF has a point here, but listen to Keith's response}



No doubt that this was the first recorded and issued version of this Jagger / Richards song...They gave GP and the FBB's the right to release it on their second album, while the Stones were wrangling over the Sticky Fingers sessions

Also one must remember that the Burrito Bros. were the opening act at the ill-fated Altamont festival ;-)

The original Wild Horses, from 1970 }

I'm not sure which one this song's about , but I passed through here a few years ago in northern New Mexico
Rose Dunn was romantically involved with George "Bittercreek" Newcomb, who ran with fellow outlaw Bill Doolin's Wild Bunch gang. In 1893, the gang was caught in a gunfight with US Marshals in Ingalls, Oklahoma. Newcomb survived, but was later killed by the Dunn Brothers, outlaws-turned-bounty hunters who also happened to be Rose's brothers. Rose was accused of tipping them off to the gang's movements, a claim she and her brothers denied.
