It’s fair to say that Keith Richards never matched up to the guitar playing talent of some of his peers. He would never make a lead guitarist, but his talent as a rhythm guitarist who can write music and understand the mood behind Mick Jagger’s lyrical talents. The soft harmonics over the slow pulse of the drums conjures up images of walking home in the rain.

A true rock ballad, before rock ballads were invented with backing harmonies that a choir from the Welsh Valleys couldn’t perform better, ‘Wild Horses’ is one of The Rolling Stones’ more emotional songs and will tug at the heartstrings of anyone who wishes it to.

The Story

The theme of ‘Wild Horses’ is said to have been imagined by Keith Richards and musician friend Gram Parsons and the lyrics were ultimately scribed by Mick Jagger.

The song featured on the album Sticky Fingers alongside smash hit ‘Brown Sugar’ which reached #2 in the UK and #1 in the US.

Although ‘Wild Horses’ didn’t repeat the same success initially, it has appeared on the majority of The Rolling Stones various greatest hits collections.
