Songs by Little Walter, Eddie Taylor, Howlin' Wolf, Magic Sam, Jimmy Reed and Willie Dixon all feature on the record, to be released on Friday. Guitarist Keith Richards, who had recently released a blues-inspired solo album "Crosseyed Heart", said he started the ball rolling by getting the band to play the Little Walter track "Blue and Lonesome". The record does, however, allow the singer to show off his considerable harmonica skills, particularly on the Little Walter covers. "The songs sound pretty authentic, actually," said the 72-year-old Richards. "We played them more like a Chicago band than we've ever done."
