Music and inspiration

Multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones played recorder, and the double bass was played jointly by bassist Bill Wyman (pressing the strings against the fingerboard) and Keith Richards (bowing the strings). The piano is played by Jack Nitzsche.[1]

According to Keith Richards in a 1971 Rolling Stone interview, he wrote the song in a Los Angeles hotel room in early 1966 about a groupie he knew;[2] he has also stated that it was about Linda Keith, his girlfriend in the mid-1960s.[1] The song's lyrics concern an apparently free-spirited woman, with Jagger singing, "Who could hang a name on you?/When you change with every new day/Still I'm gonna miss you."

"That's a wonderful song," Mick Jagger told Jann Wenner in 1995. "It's just a nice melody, really. And a lovely lyric. Neither of which I wrote, but I always enjoy singing it."[3] Bill Wyman states in Rolling with the Stones that the song was completely written by Keith Richards. However, Marianne Faithfull recalls it differently; according to her, Brian Jones presented an early version of this melody to the rest of the Rolling Stones.[4]. According to Victor Bockris, Richards came up with the basic track and the words and finished the song with Jones in the studio.[5]


Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song #303 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song title was the source of the restaurant chain of the same name.

A concert rendition of the song from the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour was released on the band's 1991 concert album Flashpoint. All post-2002 ABKCO reissues of the studio version of "Ruby Tuesday" on CD are missing a vocal overdub in the chorus.
