ho doesn't remember their famous version of Fred McDowell's “You Gotta Move” on “Sticky Fingers” in 1971 ? Long before that, on their very first album released in 1964, they had covered songs by Willie Dixon (”I Just Want To Make Love To You”), Jimmy Reed (“Honest I Do”) and Slim Harpo (“I'm A King Bee”). And Muddy Waters' “Just Can't Be Satisfied” on their second opus (1965).

From the beginning, blues was an old acquaintance of the Stones and continued to be, hidden and ready to set an ambush in most of the Jagger-Richards repertoire. In 2016, eleven years after their last studio opus, the band took the public by surprise, releasing a full album of blues covers.
