The Rolling Stones

Before the release of "Hackney Diamonds," the Rolling Stones were in a significant phase of their career. Their previous studio album, "Blue & Lonesome," released in December 2016, marked their return to their blues roots, receiving critical acclaim and commercial success. The live recording of "Start Me Up" from the promo video showcases the band's enduring energy and relevance in rock music. This song originally appeared on their 1981 album "Tattoo You" and has become one of their signature tracks. Interestingly, "Hackney Diamonds," set to release on October 20, 2023, is notable as it features original songs, the first since "A Bigger Bang" in 2005, reflecting the band's continued commitment to evolving their sound while sustaining their legacy. The performance in the promo underscores their lasting impact on the music scene and their ability to engage both long-time fans and new listeners alike.
