Description

“Confessin' The Blues” brings together the greatest Bluesmen of all time and offers a perfect introduction to the genre. The selection of songs was made by the Rolling Stones in collaboration with BMG and Universal Music. In the collective memory, the Rolling Stones have always been fans and devotees of the Blues, long before the start of their career and up to their latest album, “Blues & Lonesome,” which showcased their interpretations of Blues classics, most of which appear here in their original versions. Mick Jagger was one of the first Blues fans: “The first real successful Muddy Waters album, ‘Muddy Waters At Newport,’ was the first album I bought.” As disciples of the genre, the Band and BMG decided that 10% of the proceeds from the sale of this album would be donated to Willie Dixon’s Blues Heaven Foundation. “Confessin The Blues” features tracks by the greatest Blues pioneers such as Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Big Bill Broonzy and Robert Johnson. All of these artists had a definite impact on the Rolling Stones, whether on Keith’s guitar riffs or on Mick’s vocals and lyrics. As Ron Wood says, “That’s how Mick and Keith first got together on the train back from University. They discovered each other’s record collections with admiration and it was ... ‘Hey, you’ve got Muddy Waters, you must be a good guy,...Come on! Let’s form a band’.” “Confessin' The Blues” will be available as 2 CDs, Double Vinyl and a 5x10'' vinyl bookpack. All of these formats contain sleeve notes by music journalist Colin Larkin, and a bookpack containing removable art cards by the famous Blues illustrator Christoph Mueller. The album cover is a tribute from Stones guitarist Ron Wood, who added his personal touch to the project by painting his own depiction of the Bluesman. “Confessin' The Blues” is a true musical lesson from those who know the genre best: the greatest living band in the world, The Rolling Stones.
