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

I agree.

I doubly agree.

Nick Kent said this to me during an interview in 2012

"The Rolling Stones need to rethink their performing and recording agenda and ask themselves the question “Why do we need to make new album?”. Take a leaf out of Bob Dylans book when he did Time Out Of Mind. Do the old blues and r’n’b songs."

I think if the Stones dust off their own songs (for Example Cook Cook Blues, Fancy Man Blues) combined with the new covers you could have a hell of a setlist performed in some smaller indoor venues you can have great blast

Mick Jagger and the Blue Devils. It's out there if you hunt around- I have it as the CD, The Nature of My Game. Good, raunchy blues.[/quote]
Well, almost. It was with the RED Devils. And a very good one indeed. It's a shame Mick didn't release it officially.

This new Stones blues track sound pretty good, but the album cover looks like a compilation. Another 40 Licks or something....

This could be really great. Jagger's unreleased blues album was fantastic ...

Never heard about Jagger's unreleased blues album.
Can you give more infos, please? Who played on it etc.
Any boots out there?

Mick Jagger and the Blue Devils. It's out there if you hunt around- I have it as the CD, The Nature of My Game. Good, raunchy blues.

That would be the RED Devils...
Lots of BLUE on peoples mind today for some reason.

I had to look up a few of these...

Just Your Fool (Little Walter)
Commit A Crime (Howlin Wolf)
Blue And Lonesome - (Little Walter)
All Of Your Love - (Otis Rush)
I Gotta Go - (Little Walter)
Everybody Knows About My Good Thing - (Little Johnny taylor)
Ride 'Em On Down - (Robert Pettway/Jimmy Reed)
Hate To See You Go - (Little Walter)
Hoo Doo Blues - (Lightning Slim)
Little Rain - (Jimmy Reed)
Just Like I Treat You - (Howlin Wolf)
I Can't Quit You Baby - (Otis Rush)

They listed Robert Johnson as the writer of "Ride "Em On Down" some fifty-four years ago on their very first setlist...
According to the band’s handwritten set list for that first gig...

THE SET LIST
Kansas City – Wilbert Harrison
Honey What’s Wrong – Billy Fury
Confessin’ The Blues – Chuck Berry
Bright Lights, Big City – Jimmy Reed
Dust My Blues – Elmore James
Down The Road Apiece – Chuck Berry
I Want To Love You – Charles Smith
I’m A Hoochie Coochie Man – Muddy Waters
Ride ‘Em On Down – Robert Johnson
Back In The USA – Chuck Berry
I Feel A Kind Of Lonesome – Jimmy Reed
Blues Before Sunrise – Elmore James
Big Boss Man – Jimmy Reed
Don’t Stay Out All Night – Billy Boy Arnold
Tell Me That You Love Me – Fats Domino
Happy Home – Elmore James

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.

Exactly what I was thinking. That art looks terribly amateur. Even if it was fan made bootleg art I would say it looks like garbage.

Quite puzzled why this is a matter of concern in any way ... The 'White Album' is white (as is Beggars Banquet's official release). The content is what matters, and in the above cases it was brilliant.

Either way, I love the Blue & Lonesome cover art.

This time no Bonus Track on Japanese release?

Only offers SHM audio???

Triply disagee.

Album of blues covers -----> A BLUE album cover !!!
Screams "I get it!"
Too literal... Like a dumb Photoshop joke that *I WOULD* make!

A big Stones logo (in ANY color) doesn't really seem to match the title or album concept. And as a design motif it is just overpowering. I would have imagined an evocative black and white photo. Possibly a band shot

The Rolling Stones have a brand logo that's one of the most recognizable logos in the world. The colors are part of the brand.
But the logo could be small and on the back cover.

...

so it should have been green?

The artwork is ok...reminds me of the 40 Licks tongue - but red and blue instead.
It's unimaginative and could have been way more creative - or even simplified.
A simple solid blue album w/no logo, design, etc. would have been better.
Like the Beatles White album, we would have the Stones Blue album.

What about Clapton joining on one of the tracks? Anyone with more information?

Does the hue of the blue seem a bit... happy? Seems like it would be darker.

Ugh. I wasn't even thinking like that. It's a bit shiny. But I guess perhaps it's meant to attract the attention of the millennials since they seem to like shiny things.

"Just Your Fool"

great Mick singing!

"The blues" is not about the color blue or a famous band's logo.

Obviously. This would be symbolism, or a double entendre, or whatever else some may call it. It's often used in the art world.

The Stones are doing Little Walter's version of Just Your Fool. That's what that means. It's not originally by Little Walter as gotdablouse pointed out:

Quote
gotdablouse
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 ;-)

Or a metaphor...but it could have/should have been more abstract.
Seems they're underestimating the sophistication and brains of your average Stones fans, or they're catering to 12 year olds, ie Taylor Swift/Justin Bieber fans).

Can't wait to hear it - epecially the Clapton tracks

Blues with a feeling. Remember the JAGG blues solo effort

"we know it's a bit late but we hope you don't mind if we stay"

I'm pretty sure the Stones can afford someone to design a great album cover for them. The one they went with is dreadful. Wow. It's like they didn't care. Hopefully the music will be better.

Now that I read that the Blues jam went on for about 3 days, I can understand how Jagger got every note on harp, and every word right. I know that all the Stones are hardcore Blues, but I couldn't believe that Jagger would whip that out of his pocket at the drop of a dime.
Is that Keith playing those runs at the end of each turn-around? Sounds like a phat old Gibson. Was Ronnie playing his Strat?
