Every band has its roots. When they started their career, The Rolling Stones picked their roots into the Blues.
Before they begin their own songwriting, they have been covering many standards of the Blues and Rock.
All the tracks listed in that Spotify playlist, have been covered and recorded by The Rolling Stones, except the Muddy Waters’s “Rolling Stone”, which is there only because it’s the song the name of the band comes from.
It’s possible to find most of the Stones covers in their official first albums, except some of them never published in any official record, but available on unofficial records like “The Chess Sessions” of 1964 and 1965, or on some Live BBC recording.
