Among the songs is a cover of Little Walter’s 'Just Your Fool,' the album’s first single. You can hear a minute of it below. You can hear the whole thing at Spotify. The band also covers songs made famous by Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, Eddie Taylor, Little Walter and Howlin’ Wolf.
 

Eric Clapton guests on a pair of songs: 'Everybody Knows About My Good Thing' and 'I Can’t Quit You Baby.' He was in the studio next door working on a record when he dropped by to add guitar to the tracks. Longtime touring sidemen Darryl Jones (bass), Chuck Leavell (keyboards) and Matt Clifford (keyboards) also play on Lonesome & Blue.

The band recorded the album live and with no overdubs in just three days in London last December. Blue & Lonesome was produced by Don Was and the Glimmer Twins, and is now available for pre-order.
