1967: "She's A Rainbow" by The Rolling Stones

At the end of 1967, The Rolling Stones gave us  "Their Satanic Majesties Request", a bizarre album that sounded nothing like the band that released "Satisfaction", "Ruby Tuesday" and "Paint it black".   

It was a crazy LP with a few good tracks, such as "Citadel", "2,000 man", the absolutely hysterical "On with the show" and "She's a rainbow", the only 45 released in the US.    

I like "She's a rainbow" and the piano bits plus those silly lyrics that mean actually nothing.    It was clearly a song for 1967!

The bad news is that they tell me that The Rolling Stones were trying to do their own Sgt.  Pepper with a crazy cover as well.   The good news is that they followed all of this with "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women".  It was nice to see the band recording great songs again.
