It's already known they did rehearse one week at John Henry's Studios before they entered British Grove Studios december 2015.
Check www.nzentgraf.de:
2015 ca. 3rd - 16th December: London, John Henry's Studios, rehearsals & British
Grove Studios, sessions. Producers: Don Was & The Glimmer Twins.
AND NEW too me:
2016 ca. 7th April onwards: London, British Grove Studios. Producers: Don Was &
The Glimmer Twins. More recordings and mixing for the upcoming album
Blue & Lonesome (due out December 2, 2016). Additional musicians: Matt
Clifford(keyb; December 2015)/Chuck Leavell (keyb; April 2016)
- All Of Your Love (Samuel Maghett)
- Blue And Lonesome (Marion Walter Jacobs)
- Commit A Crime (Chester Burnett)
- Everybody Knows About My Good Thing
Clapton on guitar
- Hate To See You Go (Marion Walter Jacobs)
- Hoo Doo Blues (Otis Hicks/Jerry West) -Jim Keltner

on December 2, 2016 on the album Blue & Lonesome.
STILL FANTASTIC ALBUM ofcourse and great PR.
You actually said it was unique yourself, when said that Ronnie is the driver of this album musically
I think the word "very" is the key here
OK I'll think El Mocambo, but I wouldn't say that side stands up among the best stuff they've ever done. What makes El Mocambo so great for me is the small club atmosphere. Nice covers no doubt, but covers they are and for me they're not in the same league as the originals. I'll probably feel the same way about the whole new album, but I get what you're saying. This is a welcome gift of blues covers after years of not so great albums. And being it's the first album by the Stones in 11 years - covers or not- is certainly something to celebrate. Looking forward to tomorrow's release....
But...no cover can possibly come close to topping these versions - at least in my world:
Otis Rush - I Can't Quit You Baby (live)
Otis Rush - I Can't Quit You Baby (studio)

"Very" No other Stones album like it. Whatever. It's about as VERY unique as it gets. I'm just repeating their words. And it rocks.

you're not the only one
Interesting read. A few of the questions could only have been asked by a Japanese person. This particular interviewer mentions Japan’s aging population and asks what’s the secret to remaining healthy and active into your 70s. Ronnie was his usual upbeat and cheerful self while failing of course to offer any meaningful insights while Mick and Charlie just laughed/shrugged and basically said ‘how the @#$%& should I know?’ (Charlie answers ‘I don’t know’ at least a dozen times during his interview.)
Strangely, he asked all of them for longevity tips except Keith. Perhaps the irony of the question made him uncomfortable.

I love Hoodoo Man Blues!
But does it make it more unique?

This all leads to a Stones album that is very unique.
So it's not unique (1.being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else.) but it's very unique.
That's heavy, man. I don't know how to understand that.
It's actually quite simple. It's unique. It is unlike anything else. Perhaps this clears it all up for you?
Ha ha ha... just making sure you don't qualify something with modifiers that are defeating.
You actually said it was unique yourself, when said that Ronnie is the driver of this album musically

While I anticipate the initial impression will be a blast of euphoria (when was the last time there was a great Stones album...'81?), not sure how long the bliss will last. Is it one for the ages? Will it stand the test of time? Or is it more of a novelty of blues covers by a great band that we love?
The bliss will last as long as one loves the LP, just like BEGGARS BANQUET, LET IT BLEED, STICKY FINGERS, EXILE ON MAIN STREET, SOME GIRLS and TATTOO YOU (and whatever really good albums like AFTERMATH, GOATS HEAD SOUP, BLACK AND BLUE and their last really good LP, UNDERCOVER).
It's that good.
It is for the ages. It will stand the test of time. It's not a novelty.
It's that good.
Glad you like it that much Gaslight. I'd agree that it will be the best album from the Stones in decades, but will a blues cover album stand alongside masterpieces such as Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main Street? From the three tunes I've heard probably not, but I'm sure it will for many others. It's been a long drought studio-wise for Stones fans, and this seems to have fulfilled the thirst for something listenable.Quote
GasLightStreet
I think if one thinks the Stones' versions of a or any of these song(s) is better than the original(s) well then maybe it is. The original (or whatever cover version they emulate) is not necessarily the best version. Afterall, if you listen to Robert Johnson's Love In Vain or Stop Breaking Down and then say they're better than the Stones' versions of them, well, there's probably something wrong with you.
Fair enough. Keep in mind the two Robert Johnson examples you've given were recorded c.1937 primitively - solo with an acoustic guitar. The Stones reworked them to an almost unrecognizable point with a full band and contemporary recording techniques. Both versions are completely different, and stand on their own for different reasons (acoustic vs. electric w/full band).
On the other hand, the Stones have done a reverse strategy with these new covers. Rather than reworking them in any way, they've opted to mimic and/or copy them even to the point of using some of the same recording techniques as the 'originals'. Perhaps some will enjoy the Stones doing nearly note for note renditions of what came before, but from the three I've heard so far I would argue the 'originals' are better. There's something holy about the older bluesman's versions - something more authentic and sincere about them. With the Stones' new versions it's almost blues by numbers. For example, I've seen nearly exact replica's of Van Gogh's Starry Night painting, but none of them are as real and authentic as the original. The pain and anguish of the original artist comes through with the original, whereas with the copies it all seems a bit diluted. In the end, it comes down to personal opinion about what makes something truly great, and I can appreciate why some might prefer the Stones' versions. Looking forward to hearing the album tomorrow from start to finish, but anticipate it won't be quite as thrilling as when I first heard the classic Stones albums mentioned above. Keeping an open mind, but from what I've heard so far, the results will be predictable. Nice enough for a few listens (and maybe more), but being that they're simply blues covers without much embellishment over the 'originals', nothing truly earth shattering.
Think El Mocambo and how that side still stands up among the best stuff they've ever done
OK I'll think El Mocambo, but I wouldn't say that side stands up among the best stuff they've ever done. What makes El Mocambo so great for me is the small club atmosphere. Nice covers no doubt, but covers they are and for me they're not in the same league as the originals. I'll probably feel the same way about the whole new album, but I get what you're saying. This is a welcome gift of blues covers after years of not so great albums. And being it's the first album by the Stones in 11 years - covers or not- is certainly something to celebrate. Looking forward to tomorrow's release....
But...no cover can possibly come close to topping these versions - at least in my world:
Otis Rush - I Can't Quit You Baby (live)
Otis Rush - I Can't Quit You Baby (studio)
