The band - Mick Jagger (vocals & harmonica), Keith Richards (guitar), Charlie Watts (drums) and Ronnie Wood (guitar) - were joined by their long-time touring mates Darryl Jones (bass guitar), Chuck Leavell (keyboards) and Matt Clifford (keyboards), and two of the twelve tracks featured guest appearances by old friend Eric Clapton, who happened to be in the studio next door recording his own album.On 'Blue & Lonesome', the Rolling Stones pay homage to their blues origins, playing the music of Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, Eddie Taylor, Little Walter and Howlin' Wolf - artists whose songs feature on this album.These songs are - Just Your Fool, Commit A Crime, Blue and Lonesome, All Of Your Love, I Gotta Go, Everybody Knows About My Good Thing, Ride 'Em On Down, Hate To See You Go, Hoo Doo Blues, Little Rain, Just Like I Treat You, I Can't Quit You Baby. "This album is a clear testament to the purity of their love of music and its composition, and the blues is the source of everything the Stones do." Don Was, co-producer of 'Blue & Lonesome'
