The Sun & The Moon & The Rolling Stones by Rich Cohen

informative fast-paced

4.0

This is one of the better books on The Rolling Stones I've read - and there have been quite a few. The author has a great rapport with the band members, and he has a very perceptive way of lookimng at their career and adventures. For example, this is the only book I've read which points out that their early-career trip to Chess Records' studio was a very special invitation: Chess' studio was not open to outside sessions and the Stones are one of the only bands to record there that weren't Chess/Checker/Cadet artists. And the reason why: Marshall Chess was the one who answered the phone when the call came in, and he knew more about the band than the elder Chess generation did.

It might seem like a small detail, but it's a fresh spin on an anecdote that has been rehashed thousands of times. And it's not the only example.
