Review highlights:


…Janovitz is an extremely engaging companion…he is consistently illuminating, not only defending his songs well, but inspiring you to think more strenuously about the selections you would add or delete." - The New York Times Book Review


"Janovitz has written a stealth history of the Stones, tracking their personal lives and complicated relationships, illuminating the many phases of their artistic evolution, and making a strong case for their enduring cultural influence... A smart, informative, and highly entertaining look at the Stones’ monumental body of work, written by a veteran musician who also happens to be a discerning critic." - Tom Perrotta, bestselling author of Little Children and The Leftovers
