With the Stones on (another) tour supporting their latest album, it only seemed appropriate to post some Mick 'n Keef material. But don't worry, the below isn't from their new album as I'm neither a sadist nor a masochist. No, instead check out these rarities of excellent vintage Stones' goodness.DOWNLOAD:

Enjoy, and stay tuned for

Bloodkin – Out of State Plates
The pimping continues....Athen's Bloodkin get little to no love in the blogging community, actually make that the world outside the state of Georgia, or the immediate Southeast. A real shame. Daniel Hutchens lyrics are some deep shit coupled with Eric Carter's Stonesy riffs. Rock & Roll bar-band poetry. The two tracks below are off the band's 1999 third album Out of . . .
