Song 176: “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones, part 2: Traps for Troubadours

For those who haven’t heard the announcement I posted , songs from this point on will sometimes be split among multiple episodes, so this is the second part of a multi-episode look at the song “Sympathy for the Devil” and the career of the Rolling Stones. This episode takes us from April 1966 through to the release of “Let’s Spend the Night Together”/”Ruby Tuesday”

Patreon backers also have a half-hour bonus episode, on “Laurel Canyon Home” by John Mayall.
