In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Mike DeGagne's AllMusic review[edit]

DeGange makes several comparisons/references to country music. I don't get it and more importantly, other references don't seem to support this. As Jagger says, it's a Jimmy Reed-style song. Other writers make a similar point, with one writing that it "is a twelve-bar blues very much in the Chess tradition [and] resembles the Chess sound to such an extent that it could have been recorded at the legendary at the legendary studios." The lyrics have more of a story line than the typical AAB blues, which is what DeGagne may be describing as "the form of a cheatin' heart country tune". However, musically, the guitar intro, harp, loping bass line, etc., is pure Reed. DeGagne also is mistaken about the song's first release as a UK B-side and the harp playing sounds more like Brian Jones, so I'm not sure how credible he is. I plan to add some more referenced material to the article and maybe move DeGange to a footnote. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:53, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
