Rolling Stones: my favourite song, by Mick Hucknall Coming Down Again (from Goats Head Soup, Rolling Stones Records, 1973) It's almost impossible to pick a favourite Stones song because, to me, they are consummate album artists and there is just so much great music. I chose this at random in a way, it's an unusual song and I'll probably change my mind tomorrow. Coming Down Again is one of Keith's mumbly ramblings - I think he takes the lead vocal and Mick joins him on the choruses - and it all drifts along on Nicky Hopkins's piano before a long, almost jazzy outro. I've always loved the kind of romantic troubadour image that Keith Richards has, that you often see captured in photos and film footage of him just strumming away, strung out on an acoustic guitar, in sort of dreamland. You can see him getting lost in music and this is the kind of track that you really do get lost in, it captures a mood in a beautiful way. I bought Goat's Head Soup on vinyl when it came out in 1973, and I still have that copy. They had just come off four albums that sort of changed the musical universe, Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street - so how do you follow that? Goat's Heads Soup is not quite in the same league but it's got some fantastic moments. I love Angie, obviously, and Coming Down Again. I don't think I have sung any Stones songs in my own career. It's not easy, though I know a lot of people have tried. The magic comes from the whole band playing together. They are just one of those groups, like the Beatles. Their music is like something sacred.
