The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in May 1962. They have become one of the longest-lived and most commercially successful groups in rock history. With their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, they solidified their status as iconic performers.Throughout their extensive career, The Rolling Stones have had various talented members contributing to their sound. From Mick Jagger's captivating lead vocals and harmonica skills to Keith Richards' mastery of lead and rhythm guitars, this band has consistently delivered memorable performances.With hits spanning decades, The Rolling Stones continue to captivate audiences with their energetic live shows and timeless music. Their enduring legacy makes them a must-listen for any rock enthusiast or music lover.

The Rolling Stones release Blue and Lonesome, their first studio album in over a decade. Recorded in just three days in London, England, this is an album full of their passion for the music that has always been at the heart and soul of the band - Blues. Recorded in three days in December last year at British Grove Studios in West London, just a stone’s throw from Richmond and Eel Pie Island where the Stones started out as a young blues band playing pubs and clubs. The credits say it all, in the way this project was approached to play live in the studio without overdubs. Mick Jagger (vocals and harp), Keith Richards (guitar), Charlie Watts (drums), and Ronnie Wood (guitar), plus their long time touring sidemen Darryl Jones (bass), Chuck Leavell (keyboards) and Matt Clifford (keyboards). For two of the twelve tracks the Stones were also joined by old friend Eric Clapton, who happened to be in the next studio making his own album. Blue and Lonesome sees the Rolling Stones tipping their hats to the blues roots with tracks of intense spontaneity. It’s hard to believe that this is a record made by musicians in their sixth decade of recording. In their very early days the Stones played the music of Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, Eddie Taylor, Little Walter and Howlin’ Wolf - artists whose songs are featured on this album. Producer Don Was commented “This album is manifest testament to the purity of their love for making music, and the blues is, for the Stones, the fountainhead of everything they do.”
