Patrick Alley - Come We Go Reason



Nice roots tune by the same guy who unsuccessfully sued Mick Jagger over the song "Just Another Night" back in 1986.  Mr. Alley contended that Mick had either heard his release from 1983 or Sly Dunbar, a Jamaican studio musician, who worked with Mick on his track, had brought it to Mick.  The testimony included live and recorded music.  In the course of the seven-day trial a Juilliard faculty member played piano, Sly Dunbar played drums and Mick Jagger sang snatches of ''Jumpin' Jack Flash,'' ''Brown Suger'' and ''Miss You'' from the witness stand.  Pretty sweet jury duty. The jury sided with Mick but you be the judge. Patrick's version and Mick's version.
