Stones track with 'notably dark' lyrics (Wikipedia) and references to heroin-injection. Described as country rock or roots rock. Mick, who thought of himself as a blues singer, thought the song was better suited to Keith. (But I'll do it anyway?)

The boys met at a very early age in early summer 2005 at the Borough Arms in Gateshead, although it has to be said that two of the boys were already playing together by then.Band/artist history
The band play at the Borough Arms (of course) and the Green Mandolin mostly as well as the Soundroom. There have been occasional forays to the Rising Sun at Sunniside too.Have you performed in front of an audience?Every week, sometimes twice a week, or occasionally, even three times a week.
Your musical influences
Everyone from the late 50's onwards has been an influence.What equipment do you use?
Guitars (electric and acoustic), mandolin, harmonica, drums.Anything else?
There's a lot more to come from this band.
The boys are very grateful to all listeners for pushing their debut single 'Hey Good Lookin'' into the Soundclick Country Covers top 20 in it's first week of release and eventually reaching the dizzy heights of No 2, which we're all pretty pleased about and especially grateful for.

This has a different feel to the Stones original but it works very well. The harp playing and guitar licks are particularly good.
