rhythm and blues

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the style of the early stones' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'had butler's hymn rewritten' is the wordplay.
'rewritten' indicates anagramming the letters.
'had'+'butlers'+'hymn'='hadbutlershymn'
'hadbutlershymn' anagrammed gives 'RHYTHM AND BLUES'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhythm and blues that I've seen before include "Music style" , "Type of music" , "track in this style for record perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
