Shine A Light - Allison Crowe (Rolling Stones tribute) w. lyrics video free download

When Allison Crowe created her "Tidings" album/CD, she brought together songs of spirituality, humanity, faith and redemption... from the sacred to the secular. Alongside traditional carols such as 'Silent Night", "In the Bleak Midwinter", and "The First Noel", she recorded her much-loved versions of "Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen), "River" (Joni Mitchell), "In My Life" and "Let It Be" (The Beatles), "Angel" (Sarah McLachlan), and this song - written by The Glimmer Twins, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, for the Rolling Stones' 1972 masterwork, "Exile on Main Street".

The Rolling Stones Fan Club Office saluted Allison Crowe's recording of "Shine a Light" on its web home-page. The RSFCO, established in 1964, and run by fans for fans, lists news about the Stones' first contract being up for auction, The Stones and Beatles induction into the UK Music Hall of Fame, Marianne Faithfull on tour, and other current items of interest to Stones Planet inhabitants.

Of Crowe's release, the European-based RSFCO says: A new album by Canadian Allison Crowe (22 years) reached the record market in time for the Christmas sales. This star is an absolute outstanding singer, and her Shine A Light by Jagger/Richards is the whole album worth..."

This track was recorded live-off-the floor. Crowe's voice and piano-playing is accompanied by Dave Baird on bass and Kevin Clevette on drums. The session was captured by Producer/Engineer Larry Anschell (Pearl Jam, Sarah McLachlan, k-os, Bif Naked).

"After kicking off with Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah,' she calls on those least-covered of Christmas carollers-Mick Jagger and Keith Richards-via 'Shine a Light,' which here shines with redemptive power. " ~ Robert Moyes, Monday Magazine (Canada)

Shine A Light

Words & Music by Mick Jagger/Keith Richards

As performed by Allison Crowe

Saw you stretched out in room ten-o-nine

With a smile on your face

And a tear right in your eye

Oh, could not see to get a line on you

My sweet honey love

Berber jewelry jangling down the street

'blood-shot eyes at every woman that you meet

Could not seem to get a high on you

My sweet honey love

May the good Lord shine a light on you

Make every song you sing your favourite tune

May the good Lord shine a light on you

Warm like the evening sun

Well, you're drunk in the alley, baby

With your clothes all torn

And your late night friends

Leave you in the cold grey dawn

Just seemed too many flies on you

And I can't brush them off

Angels beating all their wings in time

With smiles on their faces

And a gleam right in their eyes

Thought I heard one sigh for you

Come on up, come on up, now

Come on up, now

May the good Lord shine a light on you

Make every song you sing your favourite tune

May the good Lord shine a light on you

Warm like the evening sun

Yeah... ohhhh...

Come on up, come on up, now

Come on up, now

May the good Lord shine a light on you

Make every song you sing your favourite tune

May the good Lord shine a light on you

Warm like the evening sun

Ohh...
