Big fan of Ry Cooder as well. No doubt that musicians "steal" ideas/passages from one another. 

Happy Listening!

2nd Note- there are a few early Vinyl reports/reviews around the net. Much like The Beatles 1960's  U.K. catalog, it is going to be very tough to better those Stones 1960's U.K catalog, as well.

Happy Listening!

@jafant, to characterize what Richards (and Jagger) did as "steal" from Cooder is to miss the point. All musicians "borrow" from others; what Richards and Jagger did went WAY beyond that. Cooder was insulted; I was filled with complete and total contempt for them both when I read his account of the events that transpired, and that feeling has not faded with time. They're both shameless frauds. I've seen them both in the past twenty years (Richards twice), and they both sucked. Hard.

Thank You for the follow on perspective.  Was it a matter of writer's block on behalf of Jagger/Richards?  Happy Listening!

Happy Thanksgiving @jafant!

I can speak only from intuition, as Cooder didn’t speculate. It is my suspicion that Brian Jones was responsible for more of The Stones direction than he has been given credit for. You’ll notice that it is Mick Taylor, not Keith Richards, who is playing the signature guitar parts on the albums he appears on.

Ry Cooder was brought in as a session guitarist, not as a source of material. Apparently Keith was at a complete loss as to how to play his own songs. Have you ever known a junkie musician? They are basically worthless. Mick rolled the tapes while Ry played, then Keith came in and learned Ry’s parts. Pathetic.
