The Rolling Stones and the blues "If you don't know the blues... there's no point in picking up a guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music." (Keith Richards) They're not just the greatest band in the world: the Rolling Stones are also the greatest masters of the blues. Who else should curate such a compilation in collaboration with BMG and Universal than the Rolling Stones, whose music has been inspired by the blues throughout their career? The compilation "Confessin' The Blues" gathers the best blues musicians and offers a perfect overview of the genre. The Rolling Stones, in collaboration with BMG and Universal, have selected the track list for various formats. BMG will release the album "Confessin' The Blues". The Rolling Stones have been fans and fans of the blues since before their great career began - and still are today. On their current studio album "Blue & Lonesome", they perform blues classics, many of which can be found in the original on "Confessin' The Blues". Mick Jagger has been a fan of the blues since he was young: "The first Muddy Waters album that was really popular was 'Muddy Waters At Newport', the first album I ever bought." 10% of the net proceeds from the sale of this album, a minimum of £0.65 (2CD) / £1.25 (2LP) / £3.00 (bookpack) per album, will be donated to the Willie Dixon Blues Heaven Foundation, a USC registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation. Jacqueline Dixon, President and CEO of The Blues Foundation, says: "We are extremely honoured and grateful that the Willie Dixon Blues Heaven Foundation has been included in such an amazing project. It means a great deal to me that my father's dream of creating an organization to promote the blues for future generations is being preserved and supported by artists who have accomplished so much." "Confessin' The Blues" features songs by the greatest blues pioneers such as Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Big Bill Broonzy and Robert Johnson. These artists had a lasting influence on the formation of the Rolling Stones, whether it was the influence on Keith's guitar licks or Mick's vocals and lyrics. Ronnie Wood explains, "That's how Mick and Keith got together on the train on the way home from college. They were exchanging notes about their record collection and it was, 'Hey, you've got Muddy Waters. You must be a good guy, let's get a band together." "Confessin' The Blues" will be released on 2 CDs, 2x2 vinyl LPs and a 5x10" vinyl book (replicas of the original 78RPM versions). All versions include liner notes by music journalist Colin Larkin. The book format also includes so-called moving art cards by blues illustrator Christoph Müller. The album cover was designed by Stone guitarist Ronnie Wood, who brought his own distinctive touch to the project through a painting by the blues musician. "Confessin' The Blues" is a "true musical education" from those who know the genre best, the best living band in the world: The Rolling Stones.
