this is a beautiful version of great song......love the stones' original effort too, btw.........and make no mistake about it, as some of those commenting note below, the great GP's hands are all over this tune........may he RIP.
It was officially written by Jagger / Richards, surely under the influence of Gram Parsons. Anyway, the Flying Burrito Bros recorded "Wild Horses" before the Stones and released it on their album "Burrito Deluxe". Both versions are great, and different. Old & In The Way with Peter Rowan added a bluegrass dimension later... A great song, enough said...
The Stones LOVE country music so I'm sure they would love this one (even if they don't love each other as Keith Richards recently states). I've worked this up as an acoustic version with a dobro doing the background fills and solo and it is great.
What a great version. Peter is the finest singer.songwriter of my life. He is the most soulful singer/writer/performer. He has played with so many different folks. Evrything he does is unique, one of a kind and memorable. Mike Marshall rocks too. Thanks for this shot. Peter, please come to San Diego to do a concert. Thnaks...
thanks so much for sharing this, I have this linked on my facebook and literally listen/watch this clip probably 2-3 times a day. this is the most perfect version I have ever heard, it is such an interesting interplay and coordination of the musicians. I would love to figure out how to capture this as a video file so I could enjoy it on my home theatre. i am i.t. challenged unfortunately :) i used to know Peter Rowan when I was kicking around Austin as a songwriter. he is the real thing.
Wonderful to see Mike Marshall (curly black hair) and his great old Gibson mandolin - a LLoyd Loar-signed one from the 1920's I'd guess. Notice how his playing is always supporting other players & he only takes a break reluctantly, and is given little notice by Rowan...but he turns to the mic and steps into the tune so smoooothly...
Naaaaaah! This is just beautiful; Mick n Keith just wrote a great song, that's all. There's possibly a bit more 'heart' in this version; certainly better mandolin playing?
Um, i seem to recall this song was written by Graham Parsons, who was palling around with Keith Richards at the time and Richards liked it, so the Stones performed it and popularized it...
Hey Midnight.... that has to be among the funniest of responses I've ever seen... a close second, well, maybe it even tops George Clooney's "dumber than a bag of hammers" in O Brother Where art thou.... Thanks for the back handed lift and keep up the good work!!!!
Pretty kewl...I didn't realize they were the first to record it. Here's some additional info I found on it: This started as a song for Keith Richard's newborn son Marlon. It was 1969 and Keith regretted that he had to leave his son to go on tour. Mick Jagger rewrote Keith's lyrics, keeping only the line "Wild horses couldn't drag me away." His rewrite was based on his relationship with Marianne Faithfull, which was disintegrating.
Marianne Faithfull claims "Wild horses couldn't drag me away" was the first thing she said to Mick after she pulled out of a drug-induced coma in 1969. This was first released by Gram Parsons' Flying Burrito Brothers in 1970. The Stones' version was written in 1969, but had to wait for Sticky Fingers in 1971. Anyways, this is an excellent version! :-D
Sorry. I play bluegrass myself. But this is just average, especially the singing is no comparison to Mick Jagger's. The Stones' version is exceptional.
Isn't that's what great about music? You have have several different versions of a song, and each appeal to different folks. I certainly respect your opinion. :-)
Peter Rowan cooks...nice melodic mix on the vocals with the mandolin's gain just perfectly complementing the back-up vocals..excellent camera technique..Learn something everytime I tune in.. Damn excellent music too !!!
You gentlemen did an awesome job in putting this one together--Peter's vocals and guitar are just gorgeous, as well as his harmony singing with the girls. I miss those
gals of his, I must say. I really think he had something with them, both in the Quartet with Mr. Rice (Tony) and in his "Trio" format. (Both have pretty much stopped working with him as of late, although Miss Bryn was able to back him up for a set at MagnoliaFest.)
This is so awesome! It's very seldom that I see a video that has been uploaded to You Tube that has this amount of quality in the sound and in the actual picture--WOW!
A tribute to Vassar,Should at least have the correct spelling of his name , it's, Vassar Clements RIP

Nice but it would suited the range of his voice better if they'd dropped it a key, so he didn't have to strain so much for the higher notes.

Too much internet copy-paste trivia.
What if I say baroque composer Buxtehude wrote the song and let it float through ages?

Peter Rowan is the real deal. And the band it not too shabby - both Mike Marshall and Sharon Gilchrist on mandolin!!!
