Les Rolling Stones se mettent au blues

Le nouvel album des Rolling Stones, le premier depuis A Bigger Bang en 2005, débarquera au mois de décembre, le 2 très exactement.

Intitulé Blue & Lonesome, il ne contiendra que des reprises de blues parmi lesquelles des morceaux de Howlin’ Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, Eddie Taylor et Little Walter.

Don Was, co-producteur de l'album, a déclaré: “C'est album est un hommage manifeste de la pureté de leur amour pour la musique, et le blues est, pour les Stones, la source de tout ce qu'ils font."

A noter la présence de Eric Clapton à la guitare sur deux titres du disque, lui qui avait failli remplacer Mick Taylor en 1976 pour l'album Blak And Blu, poste finalement attribué à Ronnie Wood.
