COMPLETE BLUES Series.
Now we have release from Snapper's Complete Blues Series: THE BLUES ROOTS OF THE ROLLING STONES. Dip your big toe into the Delta Blues' catalogue and it'll come out covered in bites from artists who inspired The Stones and who made them the greatest rock and roll band of the sixties. Even before examining the contents, it would have been no stretch to predict the likes of Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson and Elmore James would be included. The story goes that, even with their first gig booked, the band were nameless. Brian Jones picked up a Muddy Waters album, spotted "Rollin' Stone" and the rest is history. Whether apocryphal or not, there can be no question the blues played a fundamental role in bringing the band together and Snapper Music would have been remiss if they'd overlooked the fact. Most of the tracks here have already seen the light of day on other albums showcasing individual blues artists and so, for long term collectors, there is little of benefit here. It's hardly a state secret that The Rolling Stones started out as a blues cover band in 1962, and that the blues has always underpinned their long career, even as they flirted at different times with Pop, Disco, and Reggae touches. The Blues was always the touchstone, and this 22-track collection dips into some of the band's obvious influences, beginning with the Muddy Waters track "Rolling Stone," a version of Robert Petway's "Catfish Blues" that gave the group its name, and reaching through to songs like Robert Wilkins' "That's No Way To Get Along," which appeared on the Stones' Beggars Banquet album as "Prodigal Son," and Robert Johnson's "Love In Vain," which The Stones' covered wonderfully on Let It Bleed. Even setting The Rolling Stones connection aside, this set makes for a varied little survey sampler of the different strains of the blues, from the swampy, lazy malaise feel of Slim Harpo's "I'm A King Bee" to the blastoff electric slide guitar riff that drives Elmore James' "Dust My Broom" and the Bo Diddley roots of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away," the song that first broke The Stones to an American audience. Again, it's no secret that these songs provided the template for the band that The Stones became, so in that sense this set isn't exactly revelatory, but hearing these original versions underscores just how strongly The Stones absorbed, expanded, and relied on the blues every step of the way. It is revealing, even if it isn't much of a surprise. All of the tracks on the album have either been covered by The Stones or been instrumental as influences in other ways, for instance Blind Boy Fuller's "Get Your Ya Yas Out" was used as a title of a seminal live album, while Wilkins' "That's No Way To Get Along" formed the basis of their own song "Prodigal Son". As a result it's difficult to fault the album but still urge any interested parties to check out the earliest albums in Snapper's Complete Blues Series to gain a greater insight into the Blues genre as a whole.
