By blending their influences from reggae and funk music with their rock and roll swagger, here come the greatest rock band of them all, with strutting funk riffs of "Hot Stuff" and foot-stomping rockers like "Hand of Fate" mixing company with the memorable ballads of "Fool To Cry" and fan-favorite "Memory Motel." Review: Underrated Albumm - Recently i have been listening to this album and is really good, i dont know why is not famous or recognized by the fans! Their musical expansion of this one is really good and dont disappoints, it have the ROLLING STONES style but i think people should know more.... The vinyl record came good, a beautiful cover gatefold! And a good sound, it was so good that in "cherry oh baby" in one part sounds drums or something like that and i confused them as a pops o clicks in the vinyl.... YEAH, THAT QUALITY... if you like this album, buy it! Review: Why this album gets a bad rap I'll never know - The Rolling Stones' fifth studio album of the 1970s (and sixth overall for their Rolling Stones Records label which was distributed by Atlantic Records) entitled Black and Blue was released in April of 1976. This particular Rolling Stones album was the first studio album for the band since the abrupt departure of guitarist Mick Taylor who left after the It's Only Rock and Roll album's releaseand promo videos shot for the album. Some have called Black and Blue "the guitar audition album" because Wayne Perkins, Harvey Mandel (of Canned Heat) and Ron Wood (of Rod Stewart's Faces) all took turns auditioning for the guitarist spot abandoned by Taylor (and Wood would eventually acquire the spot as of 1975). Lead singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards wrote all but one track ("Cherry Oh Baby") on this album and the album is a classic (as I found out when I grabbed the album for Christmas in 1989 on cassette when it was on Rolling Stones/Columbia/CBS Records). The Black and Blue album was recorded between December of 1974 and December of 1975 in Germany at Musicland Studios and at Mountain Studios in Montreux with Mick and Keith producing and the late Keith Harwood recording and the legendary Glyn Johns mixing in February of 1976 at Atlantic Studios. Bass player Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts played well on this album as well. The Black and Blue album opens with the funky opener "Hot Stuff" which featured lead guitarist Harvey Mandel which stiffed as a single. Next is the rocker "Hand of Fate" with Wayne Perkins doing some great fretwork. We follow with the reggae version of "Cherry Oh Baby" featuring Nicky Hopkins on organ. Side one closed with the superb ballad "Memory Motel" featuring Mick on piano as well as vocal with Keithalso singing the refrain at the end of the choruses. Ron Wood's slide induced guitar kicks Side 2 off with the rocker "Hey Negrita". Next is the jazzy duet with Billy Preston called "Melody" which sounds like something from a jazz club complete with horn sections. Next is the hit ballad from the album entitled "Fool to Cry" featuring Jagger on vocals and Fender Rhodes piano and Nicky Hopkins on grand piano (the song was a Top 10 hit in the US). We close with the rocker "Crazy Mama" with a great guitar riff from Mick Jagger whom played rhythm guitars on the track and also sings like no tomorrow.. The Black and Blue album did very well hitting #1 making it the fifth Stones studio effort in a row to top Billboard and was the first Platinum album for the band. Some fans hate this album, but others like me, love it. The remaster has all of the original LP credits and artwork restored. This album is highly recommended. ## Images ![Black and Blue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NiiPd1pZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Underrated Albumm *by C***S on October 9, 2025* Recently i have been listening to this album and is really good, i dont know why is not famous or recognized by the fans!
