Every now and then, a song comes along that is so unique and powerful nothing quite like it has been done before or since. It simply can't be duplicated, and any attempt to cover it will never have the impact of the original. Such a song is 'Gimme Shelter', the opening track on 'Let It Bleed' by The Rolling Stones.
Last Thursday was the fiftieth anniversary of the release of 'Let It Bleed'. I was going to mark the date by just featuring 'Gimme Shelter', but then decided to pay tribute to the full album.
You should be able to find the full album here or here
