4 | ''Black and Blue'' is the thirteenth studio album (fifteenth American album) by Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}, released in 1976. It is their first studio album with Ronnie Wood of the Music/{{Faces}} (He replaced Music/MickTaylor, who had quit at the end of 1974), although he didn't appear on much of it (not unlike his predecessor on ''Music/LetItBleed''), and didn't became an official member of the band until just before release. Guitarists Wayne Perkins and Harvey Mandel (the latter a member of Canned Heat) also appeared on much of the record, and Music/KeithRichards later said of the album "Rehearsing guitar players, that's what that one was about". |
