This week's show features the Rolling Stone's December 2016 release, "Blue and Lonesome", their first real studio album in about a decade. The cuts are all covers of Chicago style blues, originally written and performed by the likes of Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, Little Walter and Jimmie Reed. Since rock and roll was born from the blues, and so many artists were, like the Stones, inspired to pick up instruments because of their love for the blues, I'm using the album cuts to springboard back to the original writers and performers.
And because this playlist is decidedly estrogen deficient, I've added some powerhouse women to the mix.
