Stories Behind the Rolling Stones Songs

Viac o knihe

If any group has managed to achieve the greatest rock 'n' roll dream, it is the Rolling Stones. Their epic journey has taken them through four decades of existence without losing the essence that made them great. It's Only Rock 'n' Roll is the first book that tells their incredible story exclusively through their songs, delving behind the scenes of the recordings of their classics like Brown Sugar and Wild Horses and witnessing the creation of Stones albums, from Their Satanic Majesties Request , an album steeped in psychedelia, through decadent blues and country on Exile On Main Street to Bridges To Babylon . Every aspect of the Rolling Stones is explored, starting with their early experiments with deep blues in the early 1960s: discover when bassist Bill Wyman first formally appeared as a singer on a Stones album, learn who Nanker Phelge was, or when Keith Richards released his first solo single. Accounts from original interviews with those close to the band, such as Marianne Faithfull or collaborators like Bobby Keys, Jim Price, and The Dust Brothers (co-producers with Don Was and Babyface on the Stones' 1997 album) make It's Only Rock 'n' Roll an essential guide to the legendary repertoire.
