'''"Tumbling Dice"''' is a [[Rock and Roll|rock]] song written by [[Mick Jagger]] and [[Keith Richards]] for [[The Rolling Stones]]' [[1972]] [[double album]] ''[[Exile on Main St.]]'' and was the album's first single. It is a Rolling Stones concert favorite and is performed at almost every Rolling Stones [[rock concert|concert]]. The single peaked at #7 on the charts in the [[United States]] and #5 in the [[United Kingdom]]. The basic track of the song was recorded in the basement of the French chateau Villa Nellcôte on [[August 3]], 1972[[1971]] and was by all accounts difficult to record. [[Mick Taylor]], the Rolling Stones' lead guitarist, played bass on the track and Jagger played guitar due to bassist [[Bill Wyman]]'s absence that night. The lyrics tell the story of a gambler who cannot remain faithful to any woman. A [[cover version]] was also a [[top 40]] single for [[Linda Ronstadt]] in [[1978]]. Cover versions have been created in such diverse styles as [[reggae]], [[bluegrass music|bluegrass]] and [[noise rock]].
