18 December BBC Radio 2 21.00

Cerys plays the original versions of some of the greatest blues music in history, as well as the Stones' interpretations of them on singles, albums and for BBC Radio, not to mention the blues originals they went on to create, and continue to perform. We'll hear how the blues informed every aspect of their development, from avid collectors to global superstars.

In particular, Ronnie Wood explains how he learned about the blues from the records that his older musician brothers brought home; we'll learn how 'Midnight Rambler' became the band's definitive original blues song, and a fixture in their live set to this day; and hear stories from their many years of working and socialising with these great artists. Richards tells a unique story about the night he went to a party at Muddy Waters' house, and woke up at Howlin' Wolf's house, without ever finding out how he got from one to the other.

From the Marquee Club in July 1962 to the end of the No Filter tour in Poland in July 2018 and from 'Dust My Broom' to 'I'm Your Fool,' the Stones have never shaken the blues, and this exciting programme shows why.
