If you listen to The Beatles "Please Please Me" melody riff, repeat it non stop, you Got "Rebel Rebel"

Once again - all Stones fans have to own "Hollywood Town Hall" by the Jayhawks, an album with guitars like Mick Taylor, and vocal harmonies that sound like Parsons-Hillman-Jagger.

They know what they're doing - you can hear 'em going for it - but they're never imitative or derivative. If you like Sticky Fingers and Goats Head Soup, you absolutely have to have this. It's not like any other Jayhawks record.

So many to choose from. Bucket loads from the Burrito Bros., but I gotta go with My Fault by The Faces just off the top of my head.
