I’m once more watching Arte TV, their summer program’s focus is the “summer of fish and chips”, presenting British pop culture, with John Lydon of all people as a host, and at the moment they are showing the Stones’ concert film about their, well, kinda historical 2016 gig in Havana, “Havana Moon”. The concert has a short prelude with off-voices by the band members commenting the situation, and in the background a studio recording of a Stones song is playing, sounding like a contemporary production, but in classical Stones style. In fact it sounded great, but I just don’t know where to put that song, it sounds absolutely unknown to me, and I’ve always thought I know almost every Stones song. As I’ve said, it was a classic Stones groove, mid-tempo Southern country-blues style, with horns and soul background singers, think “Tumbling Dice”. Sadly, I don’t remember lyrics. I know no new studio recordings by the Stones since 2016 other than their _Blue And Lonesome_ album, and these were all blues covers and didn’t contain the song I’m looking for. I found their studio output since about the mid-nineties mostly kind of meh, but this snippet stood out for me as a return to form which just slipped my radar somehow.

Of course I’ve looked on google, youtube and some other sites but had no luck (or not enough search skills), so please help me out with this.

Ok, I think I’ve found the song through deezer: [Plundered My Soul.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6ZnmXrRUIQ) :smack:. It was [a bonus track on a 2010 rerelease](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plundered_My_Soul) of _Exile On Mainstreet_, an outtake from then overdubbed in 2010. So I wasn’t wrong about classical Stones style and modern production, but wrong about horns: no horns in that song.
