Jim Dickinson RIP

"Wild Horses" isn't really the best example of Jim Dickinson's skills in the studio, but it was all I could get my hands on at short notice. He's playing the piano here, and Muscle Shoals, Alabama (where it was recorded), was closer to his home turf than to the Rolling Stones'. If you're not familiar with his name, by all means check out his Wikipedia and Allmusic entries: he had a remarkable life as a musical collaborator. His sons Luther and Cody founded the North Mississippi All-Stars, who are also definitely worth checking out.
