The Rolling Stones – Blue & Lonesome
Released October 7th, 2016
For the first time in their career, the Rolling Stones have elected to release an album consisting entirely of blues covers, Blue & Lonesome. The band have always been among the loudest cheerleaders for the original artists and the quality of this homage speaks to their sincerity. The selection of cuts are not likely to be found on any Greatest Hits collections and are clearly the choices of discerning aficionados. The overall sound is seductively raw and live with a slight distortion to the whole affair.
