Blue & Lonesome

Blue & Lonesome is the twenty-third studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 2 December 2016. Consisting entirely of blues music, it is the band's first album to feature only cover songs. The album is also their first studio release since 2005's A Bigger Bang, with its 11-year gap being the longest between two albums from the band. Despite the running time of approximately 43 minutes, the album was released as a double LP. "Just Your Fool", a Buddy Johnson cover was released as the first single from the album on 6 October. The name of the album is from a song which Little Walter wrote, "Blue and Lonesome". The album included the same production and musician team as A Bigger Bang. Joining vocalist Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards as producers was Don Was, who had been working with the group for most of the prior two decades. In the studio were band members Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts, alongside contract players Darryl Jones, Chuck Leavell and Matt Clifford. Eric Clapton played guitar on two tracks and drummer Jim Keltner played percussion on another.
