"The triple-platinum album Sticky Fingers which hit number one in the US and the UK in 1971 skyrocketed the band to superstardom. All artists reveal themselves through their work. Each song exposes a little more of their soul. In Rocks Off, Janovitz reveals the forces at work behind the band's music by deconstructing their most representative tunes from their incredible fifty years of record making. A song-by-song chronicle that maps the landmarks of the band's career while expanding on their recording and personal history. The book presents the musical leaps taken by the band and discusses how the lyrical content both reflected and influenced popular culture. The song choices are chronological and subjective; many of them are the classic hits; however, the book digs deeper into beloved album tracks and songs with unique stories behind them. The ultimate listening guide that will spur you to dust off those old albums and listen in with a newfound perspective on one of the most famous and acclaimed rock 'n' roll bands of all time"--Provided by publisher.
