"Happy" is one of those great Stones' songs that you won't hear if you're only familiar with their big hits. A lot of people are content to listen to "Brown Sugar" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash," but I was excited to hear the Stones' other songs when someone loaned me some of their old albums. For me, deep cuts are where it's at."Happy" is from the Stones' legendary album "Exile On Main Street." It's one of Keith Richards' vocal contributions. A lot of people HATE Keith's voice. It's certainly not of the best quality, but what I always like is the way that people sing, not so much their ability to do so. The boozy crackling of Keith's ramblings have always appealed to me, so "Happy" was a pleasant surprise when I started my journey deep into the Rolling Stones' catalogue.
