This could be really great. Jagger's unreleased blues album was fantastic, so why shouldn't this be, too?
I love the fact that they are highlighting the great Little Walter with both the first single (apparently) and the album title. Credit where credit is due. Little Walter, criminally underrated and forgotten by the mainstream, thus gets the exposure he deserves. The fact that Little Walter was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame as a "sideman" was an insult. Yes, his harmonica playing on other people's records is great, but it is not his greatest achievement. He recorded over 100 songs (all great) for Chess as a band leader. He wrote the songs, he sang the songs, he arranged them, he lead the band and he played the harmonica. He was a good guitar player, too. His greatest achievement is the creation of those over 100 recorded sides for Chess. The creation of a visionary, modern sound. The Rolling Stones put Little Walter where he belongs – center stage.

It makes sense : a blue tongue cover for the blues album. Simple designs are sometimes the best. I quite dig it.

Didn't know Coldplay had done that but the U2 freebie was quite the fiasco since the download was forced on iTunes users...
Having said that a full release (where has this been hinted at?) tomorrow would indeed be great!

Just please tell me that's not the album art of the new Stones record.
Somebody made that with Photoshop in less than five minutes.

Litte Walter is indeed great and by coincidence I recently watched "Cadillac Records" where he is featured with Muddy, Howlin', etc...in this story about Chess records. However I'm not sure how much of an actual "writer" he is as he wrote neither of the two LW tunes on B&L we know about, "Just Your Fool" is by Buddy Johnson and "Blue and Lonesome" is by Memphis Slim, while one of his other hits "My Babe" is by Willie Dixon ;-)
