Jigsaw Puzzle is probably the most enigmatic of all Rolling Stones songs. Yes, Mick’s doing his best Dylan pastiche. But I always felt Brian Jones made an impt contribution, which years later Keith acknowledged. Find his isolated instrumental parts here: youtu.be/VBWzOHy0ekI?si…
If you enjoyed this, give @BrianResource a follow. It’s indispensable.
@Paytress I was listening to it last night. After nearly forty years of failing to make an obvious connection, I related that it is the centre of a Blakean concept album about the oneness of being, and the need to reconcile opposites. Not sure where Stray Cat Blues fits into that, mind 🤣
@Paytress Love that flute sound... Reckon it's played on the mellotron with pretty precise turning of the tuning knob to get the slides/bent notes. Moody blues guy was excellent at this too.
@Paytress Like much of his later work it's understated, underappreciated but pivotal the the overall sound.
