MUSIC NEWS: You’ll be hearing a lot about the Rolling Stones in the coming weeks as the rock veterans release their first studio album since 2005. 

By all accounts, the band are going back to their blues roots for Blue & Lonesome, a record that’s comprised of cover versions of the likes of Howlin Wolf and Willie Dixon.

Eric Clapton features on two of the tracks, while Don Was was the main producer alongside Jagger and Richards. The album is officially released next Friday.
