"Memory Motel" is a song from Rock And Roll band The Rolling Stones ' 1976 album '' Black And Blue ''. A (accessed 24 April 2007 ). The title comes from an actual motel in Montauk , on Long Island . The lyrics to the song have long drawn speculation as to who the "Hannah baby" in the lyrics refer to. Carly Simon is often a name considered, due to Jagger's descriptions of the woman throughout the song; The lyrics talk of the fading love brought on by a one-night stand at said motel. The song describes the female subject as a strong, independent woman, comparable in many ways to the female subject of " Ruby Tuesday ", with Richards repeated refrain: Richards did not play guitar on this piece; ''Black and Blue'' has long been known as the album used to find a replacement for Mick Taylor , who left right before work was to begin on it. Harvey Mandel plays electric guitar while Wayne Perkins performs acoustic. Jagger, Richards, and Billy Preston play concert piano, Electric Piano , and String Synthesizer on the song, respectively. Preston also contributes backing vocals along with Ron Wood , who would eventually become the Stones' lead guitarist. Jagger began writing the song before beginning the Stones' Tour Of The Americas '75 while staying with Richards at Andy Warhol 's house in Montauk, and finished it while on tour. This is reflected in the song's lyrics where Jagger describes having to leave for Baton Rouge , where the Stones played two warm up shows at Louisiana State University , and where he describes subsequent experiences on the road. "Memory Motel" has long been a fan favorite from the Stones canon of work. It is often overlooked, possibly due to its length and downbeat feel, much like the album it comes from. It was one of the highlights of the Stones' 1999 Live Album '' No Security '', where Dave Matthews took up lead vocals with Jagger and Richards. The song has been featured on every tour since the 1994 Voodoo Lounge Tour . |
