Blues Blues Blues is an album credited to the Jimmy Rogers All-Stars.[1][2] It was released in January 1999, just over a year after Jimmy Rogers's death.[3] The album peaked at No. 1 on the UK Jazz & Blues Albums Chart.[4] Mick Jagger, one of the album's many featured musicians, considered Rogers to be the originator of electric blues.[5]
The album was produced by John and Elaine Koenig.[6] Many of the musicians were encouraged to participate by Ahmet Ertegun who served as executive producer.[7] "Ev'ry Day I Have the Blues" is a version of the Memphis Slim song.[8] Taj Mahal sang and played harmonica on the cover of "Bright Lights Big City".[9] Jagger, on the cover of "Don't Start Me to Talkin'", included a verse that was excised from the original 1955 Sonny Boy Williamson II version.[10] Carey Bell and Kim Wilson played harmonica on some of the tracks.[11] Johnnie Johnson contributed on piano.[12]
