Blue & Lonesome
by The Rolling Stones

There ain't any real bad no.s on here at all, although it lacks a variety, I get it they're all blues covers, it's like your listening to the same song throughout the album.

Even though it's just an album of covers, damn did they do the blues right again, even well into their 70s. Probably the Stones best album in 30 years.

Best song(s): Just Your Fool; Blue and Lonesome; All of Your Love; Ride 'Em on Down; I Can't Quit You Baby

A essência do Rolling Stones purinho!! Pra quem gosta de blues e blues rock de quem realmente amam o blues e o blues rock!

not for me,it does sound all samey.no stand out song and most likely never play this album again.

One of the things I dislike about classic Chicaago Blues is the muddiness of the sound recording due to the age of the records. This album fixes that problem. Everything sounds new and crisp, yet still retains that dirty blues feel. Also, Keith Richards + Eric Clapton is a match made in heaven.

A dire la verità, io non ero troppo entusiasta all'idea che il nuovo disco dei Rolling Stones proponesse solamente cover blues; questo perché ritengo il loro songwriting una parte essenziale della loro musica e le cover potevano andare bene cinquant'anni fa oppure anche oggi ma una ogni tanto… Alla fine comunque il disco mi è piaciuto abbastanza: mi piace il loro sottolineare la dedizione al blues fregandosene di inseguire le mode, mi piace il tiro che in alcune di queste canzoni gli Stones ancora riescono a dare.

YES!

Yes there back baby back to there roots and sounding just as good as they did in the early sixties playing the blues I hope this isn't full circle as I could listen to some more of this.

An enjoyable record with a nice raw sound with Mick especially blowing some wonderful harp. Being the blues it can get to being a bit samey but it's not too bad at all. I wonder if this is just a stop gap or the final Stones album. If it is it's a good way to end it by bringing everything full circle. Yes, a good album, nothing spectacular, but decent enough.
