This day in music history.

February 9, 1993, Mick Jagger releases his third solo album, it is called called "Wandering Spirit". Producer Rick Rubin and a ass kicking band help make this one of the classic albums of the 90s. Mick never sounded better then on songs like "Wired All Night" and "Use Me". The album went to number 12 in the UK and number 11 in the US. It earned a gold record later that year.
Wandering Spirit by Mick Jagger
When all the twelve apostles try to ring me on the phone
Take a message but I wont return their call
For I have no eyes to see him and I thought I lost my way
And I know I've lost the keys to your door
And I climbed the highest mountain and I looked down on the sea
And I saw a ship a-sail to the shore
I took a passage to the east and I journeyed to the west
I made love from Battambang to Baltimore
I said, oh, am I running in a race
I said, oh, am I getting anyplace
I said, oh, can I make it
I'm a wandering spirit
yes I am a restless soul
Im a wandering spirit,
theres no place that I can call my own
I was a glutton at the banquet and I spilt the finest wine
Trod the pyramids and ruins of Angkor
I kissed the Mona Lisa and I breakfasted with kings
And I touched the nerves of nature in the raw
I said, oh, am I running in a race
I said, oh, take that smile right off your face
I said, oh, I cant make it
Im a wandering spirit
no escape, no parole
Im a wandering spirit
theres no place that
I can call my home
I said, oh, am I running in a race
I said, oh, take that smile right off your face
I said, oh, I cant make it
Im a wandering spirit
looking for a place to go
Im a wandering spirit
no escape, no parole
Im a wandering spirit,
Im a lost and lonely soul
