Today in Rolling Stones history: October 23

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

October 23 offers a reminder that The Rolling Stones’ musical world extended well beyond their own records. In 1964, Marianne Faithfull stepped away from the pop formula that launched her career, tackling Bob Dylan’s Blowin’ in the Wind and the blues standard The House of the Rising Sun, with Keith Richards contributing acoustic guitar to both tracks. Andrew Loog Oldham produced the single, but its folk direction wasn’t exactly the commercial masterstroke Decca had hoped for. Meanwhile, the Stones were conquering American stages decades later, delivering deep cuts, familiar favorites, and setlists that refused to behave predictably.

October 23, 1963: Odeon Theatre, Nottingham, England (2 shows)

October 23, 1964: Release of Marianne Faithfull’s 7″ single Blowin’ In The Wind / House of the Rising Sun, with Keith Richards on acoustic guitar on both tracks.
Produced by Andrew Loog Oldham, Faithfull’s folk-oriented single featured David Whitaker’s arrangements and Keith on acoustic guitar. Her delicate take on Dylan’s Blowin’ in the Wind contrasted with the grittier blues delivery of The House of the Rising Sun, challenging expectations after her pop success.
