It used to be that the Stones would take a blues song and put on their special filter. It would come out sounding just as good as the original, but different. Not quite as ragged, but still retaining the life of the song. Think 'Little Red Rooster'. Uptown, as opposed to country.
On Blue and Lonesome they hew closer to the originals, without losing anything. This is understandable. There's no Brian, no Bill, no Mick Taylor. We didn't get a lot of Ronnie on blues until that album. He has a really good take. I think he saved the album, that and Mick's harp playing.

That is very personal. The Rolling Stones are a Rock Band to me, with all kind of different influences. But when it comes to the blues: To me it was Mick Taylor. His lines and feeling represent melancholy, making me feel more blue when I'm in that particular mood. No other Rolling Stone triggers that feeling more than Taylor does, again, to me.
