Let It Bleed, 1969
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
Fun fact: this is the original version of "Honky Tonk Women," the much more successful single. This one features some steel guitar work and a fiddle, and Jagger sings in an affected country twang. Ry Cooder claimed that he showed Richards a country riff he was working on, and a few days later the Glimmer Twins came out with this song, admittedly an outlier in their usual blues-rock repertoire. Some people believe it, most Stones fans don't. While it's a fun singalong, the whole thing comes off to me as a bit of a joke, and I can see why the later rock version is more popular.
