Program Page: The Long Play

Duration: 30min

In this episode of The Long Play, we continue raiding the record collection of Mick and Keith to look for the Blues and R&B tracks that shaped the identity of The Rolling Stones. In the early 1960s, while the musical landscape was shifting, the Stones looked backward to move forward. This episode explores the tracks that taught them how to lock in their signature grooves.
