ROLLING STRAIGHT TO THE TOP WITH ‘BLUE & LONESOME’… IT’S THE ROLLING STONES

“The Rolling Stones have made their best album since 1978” – THE TIMES

Guess who keeps rolling through the charts, storming to the top of this week’s UK Official Album Chart… THE ROLLING STONES with Blue & Lonesome on Polydor Records Wolrdwide. This album not only has been their first studio album in over a decade, it’s sold over 100,000 in the first week as well as being the BIGGEST week one album sales in over 40 years *shocked emoji face*. Soaring straight to the top with Blue & Lonesome the album was crowned the second highest selling week one album of 2016, just behind DAVID BOWIE’S ‘Blackstar’. Even with fierce competition from the likes of BRUNO MARS, LITTLE MIX and ROBBIE WILLIAMS they were no match for these greats.

“Gnarly nostalgia” and “fabulously over-the-top”– FINANCIAL TIMES

DON WAS and THE GLIMMER TWINS produced Blue & Lonesome that had THE ROLLING STONES tip their hats to their early days as a blues band when they played the music of JIMMY REED, WILLIE DIXON, EDDIE TAYLOR, LITTLE WALTER and HOWLIN’ – artists who also featured their songs on this album.

“This album is manifest testament to the purity of their love for making music, and the blues is, for the Stones, the fountainhead of everything they do.” – DON WAS

With the blues that keep the critics alive, Blue & Lonesome has managed to united them in the glories of high praise. KITTY EMPIRE of the Observer says, “they swing hard and, moments later, turn on a sixpence or a dime given this album’s love of Chicago” and the album goes on to be described by The Sun as “raw and explosive”.

From here from us at CHUCKIEVISION we’ll just like to say… KEEP ROLLING AND ROCKING!
