Rolling Stones by Bob Spitz

From the award-winning, bestselling author of classic histories of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, a groundbreaking reckoning with the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band

What left is there to say about the Stones?
A hell of a lot, it turns out …
You think you know the story? Think again. Shorn of dulling layers of myth, an irresistible, clear-eyed portrait emerges of a band who, after sixty years, continue to break new ground.
At the heart of it all, the unique, fractious, alchemical bond between Mick and Keith, the Glimmer Twins. There’s been debauchery, decadence and death along the way. Not everyone survived the journey, but the band was always greater than the sum of its parts, laying down a trail of classic albums and landmark live performances in its wake.
