Is it Page on Stones One hit to the body track?

"Saint Of Me" only wishes it was half the song "One Hit To The Body" is :lol: It'd be a standout on a Jagger solo album but sticks out like a sore thumb on a Stones album (even one as "eclectic" as Bridges To Babylon) since a) Keith doesn't play on it and b ) Charlie's drums are a drum loop. You've got Waddy Wachtel doing his best Keith Richards imitation and an auto-pilot solo from Ronnie Wood. Best thing about "Saint Of Me" is Billy Preston playing on a Stones album for the first time in twenty years.

"One Hit To The Body" is a classic...one of the Stones' great opening tracks. Dirty Work is nowhere near as bad as its detractors make it out to be. And Page's solo is a killer- as far as I'm concerned Page's solo is the best thing he's done since Zeppelin outside of the 2007 reunion concert.

"Saint of Me" always sounded to me like a guitar track was missing.

In the spirit of "Ruby Tuesday" and other Stones ballads, I thought this one was a winner from their later catalog.  Great lyrics and mix.
