classic vintage late 60's stones...mick taylor playing electric lead over keith's open C tuning Dobro....check out also Fred Mcdowell original...thanks for posting...getting back to the roots ....carlrock.....gary.....new york...
ry cooder doesnt play on this track, the slide was actually keith richards on a telecaster, 'cause he commented that there is always a better slide player in the band than him, but he played it on this track, as did midnight rambler and you got the silver from Let it Bleed
feforest4fertility, apparently you don't know this, but the Stones did a lot better than give attribution, they gave all the royalties from their cover to Fred Mcdowell. It was a considerable amount of money.
In his book The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones, Stanley Booth writes in detail about this recording session, and the development of this song in particular - the studio version is different from how Mick and Keith played it on stage.
@JacquelineGaertner Really?! I didn't know that. Where did you find out? I actually prefer the original version by Fred himself, but the Stones did a good job covering it. I guess I know why now!
I have a mental image when this is playing of a New Orleans wake...

This song has two slide players, I would bet Keith is on the acoustic, and Ry Cooder is on the electric slide.

@izzydunne You're right, I didn't know that. Thx. And good be upon them for doing so.

someone who says they "stole" this song obviously doesn't know a thing about the stones, or about the concept of covering a song.

@alexander4200 maybe you dont know a thing about giving attribution, acknowledging your source when you cover a song

A fantastic cover, and a very fitting tribute to the master himself, Mr. Fred Mcdowell.

@1canyonguy I know Mississippi Fred McDowell did a version of this in the 30's or something. I'm sure someone else did it before him though....

@JFizoust McDowell co-wrote it with Gary Davis.
