Wanna know how the Rolling Stones came up with their original blues sound in the 60s? They’re going to tell by releasing a curated album of blues songs that influenced them. “Confessin’ the Blues” will be out next Friday, November 9th. It’s a neat idea, and I’m looking forward to it. All major ( I mean major, like the Stones, Beatles, Dylan) should do curated sets of old records. Starbucks used to have artists do this when they first began their CD label Hear Music (long gone). If anyone finds the tracklist for this, please send it to showbiz411 @gmail.com. So far there’s no press release and no info on any Stones sites. The cover is by Ronnie Wood. (It’s like digging ditches to get info around here!)
The tracklist follows. They’re going to have a slight problem as the Rolling Stones are not listed as the Artist so if you search Amazon by their name (and I presume other places) this album doesn’t come up.
