For too long the Stones
covers CD has been the province of freebie magazine cover-mounts and shoddy
garage cheapies. No more. Because Rhythm And Blues Records are Doing It
Right.
Following on from their well-received compilations covering the roots
of rock’n’roll the R And B team shine a spotlight on the songs
that shaped the Rolling Stones. Volume One covers 1962-1964, documenting
how Little Blue Boy and the Blue Boys became first the Rollin’ Stones
and then the Rolling Stones we know and love today. The journey takes
us from reel-to-reel recordings in suburban front rooms via primitive
London studios with egg-box soundproofing to the legendary Chess studios
in Chicago. This compilation highlights the cover versions responsible
for shaping the Stones sound, then and now.
Over twenty-five songs this CD features seminal artists such as Chuck
Berry, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Bo Diddley, Slim Harpo and Big Bill Broonzy
as well as the lesser known Tampa Red, Will Bradley and Jazz Gillum. All
tracks have been carefully remastered to optimise the sound. An extensively
illustrated 28 page booklet features detailed sleevenotes from compilers
Nick Duckett and Simon Wright, including a track-by-track commentary and
an essay explaining the significance of each song to the Rolling Stones.
This is taken from the Introduction:
“The Stones started off as skinny white boys playing music written
mostly by old black men. Forty-seven years later, covers are still essential
to the Stones, both live and on record - even on the last few tours covers
have been played respectfully, partly as public recognition of the bands
roots but also because the Stones still enjoy playing the songs they grew
up with. The Stones play classic R’n’B with an authority and
rhythmic drive no other band has ever consistently matched - in Keith
Richard's words they have both the rock and the roll. In recent years
the Stones have even featured guests such as John Lee Hooker and Buddy
Guy on high profile live dates. Here is a band that pays its dues.”
