The Rolling Stones Song: Around And Around Album: 12X5 Year: 1964 Guitarists: Keith Richards, Brian Jones Tuning: Standard This is a really cool song. It's a great early cover. Keith once again proves he is the master of mimicing Chuck Berry. He's got the guy down to a tee. The most important thing is to listen to the recording to hear the timings of each part so it will make more sense. I've loved this song. Especially watching old footage of them doing it. Enjoy.
