Mott The Hoople - Roll Away The Stone flac album

Roll Away the Stone" is a single released by English rock band Mott the Hoople, recorded before Mick Ralphs left the band. In this version Ralphs plays lead guitar and one of the Thunderthighs handles the bridge voice. It was re-recorded by the band for their 1974 album The Hoople, with Ariel Bender on lead guitar and English vocalist Lynsey de Paul singing the vocal bridge.

The biggest hit for Mott The Hoople since "All The Young Dudes" this '50s-flavored tune rolled all the way to in the UK. "The song was originally written for the Mott album," vocalist Ian Hunter recalled to Classic Rock magazine. The piano I had was an upright that cost me 30 bob, and I'd slammed all the white keys out. So I made myself learn how to play the black ones, which was great because I didn't understand what I was doing. I wrote All The Way From Memphis, Roll Away The Stone and something else all in sharps and flats. The song featured backing vocals from female trio Thunderthighs, who consisted of Karen Friedman, Dari Lalou and Casey Synge, They'd provided the backing vocals to Lou Reed's hit single, "Walk On The Wild Side" the previous year and later recorded their own hit single "Central Park Arrest", which reached in the UK Singles Chart in 1974.
