I think the clue is in the word patio. God knows who/what the pool is? Maybe Pool Hall Richard!!
sex trumps drugs I guess.

dunno...I got the silver and the gold so I'm satisfied.
Love to see Stu gettin' his due on that introduction. An ok version but Ronnie looks and plays like he's about to drop. Prefer the studio version myself. peace

One of the best KR's tune ever. The middle section with that slap-back delay is an iconic example of the best last 70's RS music style.

Tatoo You has a very good sound in general, and so has Little T&A. Yet I find the song a little boring.

A glorious little firecracker from Keith, with snarling guitars, a fantastic rhythm section, and that breezy, down-and-dirty, devil-may-care swagger that only the riff-master himself can bring. Pure joy.
When Keith said you gotta have the roll as well as the rock, this is what he’s talking about; this one swings, baby!!!! (especially with that pulsating slap-back delay... and thanks KeithNacho, not being a guitar-player I didn’t know that's what it’s called until I read your post).

"LITTLE T & A...is Richards's song, and he was pleased with the way Jagger had mixed it. `I could have f*cked around with it for ages,' Keith admits. `The final mix brought back a bit of the naivety of the earlier versions, otherwise it would have been too slick. It's nice and dumb, which is what it's supposed to be.'" — from Barbara Charone's book "Keith Richards: Life as a Rolling Stone" pp. 192-93

Excellent song, like all songs from Tattoo You. And a great Keith-number.
Little T&A, Theodora & Alexandra. Coincidence?

A wonderful little rocker that captures the whole Some Girls/Emotional Rescue/Tattoo You guitar sound. I love Ronnie's pedal steel in there too - it really makes the whole thing fly.
I was amused when I learnt, on this board, what the line 'the pool's in but the patio ain't dry' line was about.

This one is iconic for me. Just a great guitar song. That hook is so sharp I find myself singing it at odd times in strange places.
This is Keith best solo song, imho. More Stones than JJF to my generation. I think it would sound better without the cheap delay effect on the guitar, just a Vox AC30 turned up a bit and some Mick Taylor slide guitar! peace

Love this one! Great, nasty guitar.
I missed out on the meaning of "the pool's in, but the patio ain't dry." What's going on there?

Great track from a great album.
My first Stones album was Emotional Rescue, which I loved but this for me was light years ahead.

Not wild about the studio recording. Sounds better here where it can stretch out and they use the prime bassist.

Um yes it is a coincidence, sicko. Why would Keith connect his daughters to a phrase that's as inappropriate as that?
Plus, Theodora and Alexndra weren't born till 1985 and 1986...
