{"product_id":"black-and-blue-3","title":"Black and Blue","description":"The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals, piano, percussion); Keith Richards (vocals, guitar, piano); Ron Wood (guitar, background vocals); Bill Wyman (bass, percussion, background vocals); Charlie Watts (drums, percussion).\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel: Wayne Perkins (acoustic \u0026amp; electric guitars); Harvey Mandel (guitar); Billy Preston (piano, organ); Nicky Hopkins (piano, synthesizer); Ollie Brown (cowbell, percussion); Ian Stewart (percussion).\u003cbr\u003e Principally recorded at Musicland Studios, Munich, Germany between December 1974 \u0026amp; April 1975.\u003cbr\u003eWith BLACK AND BLUE the Rolling Stones geared up for another installment of records as the world's best-loved rock and roll band. Aided by Ronnie Wood's enrollment as foil to Keith's unmistakable guitar, BLACK AND BLUE assured, to those who dared doubt, a new era had begun.\u003cbr\u003eFlavoring their existing rhythm-and-blues format with Caribbean beats and cocktail-swilling pianos, BLACK AND BLUE's strongest moments are in the band's obvious enjoyment. Catering to Mick's lounge-act instincts, \"Melody\" seems the obvious precursor to \"Miss You,\" allowing Billy Preston's piano and vocal harmony to carry the Stones with a more stylized, less formulaic batch of songs.\u003cbr\u003eBLACK AND BLUE was the resting period which allowed the band to release a followup album with the punch of SOME GIRLS. The casualness of the album's material served as perfect contrast to the Motown-esque stylings of IT'S ONLY ROCK 'N ROLL and allowed the band to save their energy for another decade of releases.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45612868469023,"sku":"602508773235","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/073e1c7dfc3d69bd01183081c913fad9_34138f2f-698e-4f1a-9799-f5b8e5edd2ff.jpg?v=1777639187","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/black-and-blue-3","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
