Rolling Stones "Confessin the Blues" Vinyl Bookpack and LP

Key Production is pleased to announce our recent collaboration with BMG to produce this historic masterpiece curated by The Rolling Stones titled, Confessin' The Blues.

 Confessin' The Blues comprises of 12 tracks by various legendary blues acts such as Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter, Magic Sam, Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Big Bill Broonzy, Robert Johnson and Willie Dixon. Cosigned by The Rolling Stones, considered one of the greatest living band on the planet, it is stated by the band members themselves that some of these acts inspired and influenced Keith’s guitar licks and Mick’s legendary vocals and lyrics. The album cover artwork comes courtesy of Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood. 

The Rolling Stones have been long supporters of the Blues genre since their inception through to their latest album, Blue & Lonesome which featured their interpretations of the classics. This release not only provides an immersive educational highlight into the genre's history but also has a charitable cause as the band and BMG have decided that 10% of BMG’s net receipts from the sale of this release will be donated to Willie Dixon’s Blues Heaven Foundation.

“The first Muddy Waters album that was really popular was Muddy Waters at Newport, which was the first album I ever bought” - Mick Jagger (The Rolling Stones Lead Singer)

The album has been released on:

• Digipak 2CD - Includes Liner Notes by Music Journalist Colin Larkin in a 28-page Booklet.
• LP Box Set - 5x 10’’ LP Bookpack Includes 4 Art Cards.
