829. Ventilator Blues by the Rolling Stones (1972)

The Stones wanted to sound like their heroes Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. So, they constructed an old school blues number for Exile on Mainstreet. It is the only Stones song in which Mick Taylor recieved writing credit. His main contribution is the opening slide. The band has only played the tune live on one occasion and that was in 1972.
