The Rolling Stones' New Blues: Inside Their Roots Revival, Bright Future

The Rolling Stones discuss why they took a break from an album of originals to make 'Blue & Lonesome,' their raw new LP of blues covers.

This is the best interview I have read with The Stones in decades. This new album really seems to have brought back their edge. Keith, particularly, is more Keith than ever, but with even more attitude. If you're a fan, read it.

Rolling Stones pay tribute to their Chicago blues school on 'Blue & Lonesome' - Chicago Tribune

For decades I had hoped that the Stone would do this. I hope that we see more. Thanks guys - you are the greatest rock n roll band in the world, and also possibly the greatest current interpreters of Chicago blues. The Rolling Stones!

Jagger and Richards were blues fans when they met, and 50 years on the passion has endured. Learn about and listen to all the originals on their new covers album

I have always said that these guys are the real deal. They have never been the kind pf purveyors of the blues that leads to the stuff you hear in TV commercials. Side note: I bought "Rockin' at the Hops" because of the Jagger/Richards story and have been at that train platform in Dartford for the same reason. The STONES BABY!
