还记得 The Rolling Stones 上一次发录音室专辑是什么时候吗?那已经是在 2005 年,11 年前的事情了。
2005 年发行的《A Bigger Bang》
上个月底,Mick Jagger 发了一条推,po 了一张口琴的照片,打上了 #playingtheblues 的 tag。
这个月 4 号,乐队又通过官方推特账号暗示 6 号会公布些什么消息。
之后,他们便在昨天官方公布了乐队第 25 张专辑《Blue & Lonesome》的相关信息。这张专辑仅仅花了三天时间在伦敦录制完成,却号称是“50 余年的积累”。专辑包含了 12 首经典 blues 风格歌曲的翻唱,重新找回“对 blues 音乐的热情”——Rolling Stones 的核心和灵魂。
这张十多年来乐队的首张专辑将在 12 月发行。他们的老朋友 Eric Clapton 在专辑里也有帮忙,因为据说他当时正好在隔壁的录音室准备个人的下一张专辑。
专辑的制作人之一,Don Was 说:“这张专辑表明了他们对做音乐的热爱。blues 也正是他们所做的一切的本源。”
“当他们演奏这些歌的时候,他们成为了真正的、独特的自己。”
