The Rolling Stones have teamed up with BMG and Universal for the upcoming blues collection titled Confessin’ The Blues. A portion of proceeds from sales will go towards Willie Dixon’s Blues Heaven Foundation which provides education on the genre through scholarships, music clinics and live shows. The two-disc set features a total of 42 tracks from artists including Howlin’ Wolf, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, B.B. King, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. Frontman Mick Jagger said: “The first Muddy Waters album that was really popular was Muddy Waters At Newport, which was the first album I ever bought.” While guitarist Keith Richards added: “If you don’t know the blues there’s no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.” Confessin’ The Blues will be released on November 9. The cover art was designed by Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and will be released on 2CD, vinyl and as a 5×10-inch vinyl book pack. All versions will come with liner notes by music journalist Colin Larkin, while the book pack will include art card prints by illustrator Christoph Mueller. Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com.
