The Rolling Stones Reissue 'Wild Horses' In Wake Of Susan Boyle Cover

The Rolling Stones have reissued their 1971 song 'Wild Horses' in the wake of Susan Boyle covering it on The X Factor last night.

The remastered song is be available as a bundle via iTunes from today which also features a live studio version of the track and a live rendition at Knebworth.

Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Wild Horses was recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama over three days in December 1969 and was the last of 3 songs completed at those sessions, after Brown Sugar and You Gotta Move.

As well as Boyle's version - which appears on her debut album 'I Dreamed A Dream' - acts including Neil Young, Guns N' Roses, Sheryl Crow and Mazzy Star have all covered the track.

Keith wrote it for Gram Parsons/Flying Burito Bros. but didn't like their version so they recorded it themselves later. I can't believe you wouldn't mention that.

I think that Susan’s cover of “Wild Horses” is one of the best things about the whole album. She could do a whole disc of rock cover tunes and it would be amazing. Did anyone hear about the Susan Boyle special on the TV Guide channel Sunday the 13th? Here’s a link to a clip for it: http://www.tvguide.com/special/susan-boyle/
