Book review - "Rolling Stones Songs"
I think that's the correct title, I don't have the book in front of me, but its worth a look if you're a Stones fan, taking you through every song they made. Some drawbacks - for instance it doesn't really give the stories behind the recording of every song (this is far from a definitive work) and is a little thing on discussing the contributions of people other that Jagger and Richards; Mick Taylor's work is often discussed, but Bill Wyman hardly ever and Watts not nearly enough. Also it goes according to albums - which means that they don't get around to some singles which weren't on albums until the end. Considering this includes some of the Stones' main track, eg Jumping Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Woman - it makes a mess of the chronology.
