How did Chicago blues influence the Rolling Stones’ early sound?

Chicago blues was the foundational influence on the early sound and identity of the Rolling Stones. In the early 1960s, founding members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Brian Jones bonded over their shared passion for this then-esoteric American music, which they performed in pubs and clubs around London.123

The band’s connection to the genre was profound:
* Naming: The group took their name from the 1950 Muddy Waters song "Rollin' Stone," recorded on the Chess label.45
* Repertoire: Their early sets consisted primarily of covers of blues and rock-and-roll standards from the 1950s.23
* Musical Technique: Keith Richards’s signature rhythm guitar style was heavily inspired by the techniques of Chicago blues musicians, particularly the practice of weaving guitar lines with a second guitarist.3

This grounding in the driving rhythms and electric instrumentation of Chicago blues provided the bedrock for the band's development into a major rock act.13
