A Different Kind
Composed By: Jagger, RichardsNotes:
Buried deep in the Some Girls sessions, A Different Kind is one of those unreleased Rolling Stones tracks that feels like a hazy, late-night jam caught on tape—unpolished, intimate, and strangely hypnotic. Recorded between late 1977 and early 1978 at EMI-Pathé Marconi Studios in France, it’s a six-minute, slow-tempo drift into sound and atmosphere. While not built around a traditional vocal performance, Mick Jagger does add a few spoken phrases in a relaxed, guide-style delivery—more mood-setting than storytelling. What really steals the spotlight here is Ronnie Wood’s laid-back, twangy slide work on the Hawaiian steel guitar or bottleneck dobro, giving the track its unique flavor.
