The Rolling Stones were never a band who tried to hide the source of their inspiration. This CD is a celebration of the influences which initially charged the individual members, and the group as a whole, and which, by some strange, unspoken and seemingly supernatural alchemy, helped create the Greatest Rock ‘N’ Roll Band in the world. Ever. From obvious choices like Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, to the more obscure Earl Bostic and Amos Milburn, and via the perhaps surprising inclusion of Hanks Snow and Williams, this collection is a one-stop history lesson for every fan of this extraordinary collective.
