Band Context – The Rolling Stones:
Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones evolved into one of hard rock’s most influential acts. By the mid-1960s, they had cemented their reputation with hits characterised by gritty blues-inspired rhythms, swaggering attitude, and songwriting brilliance by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. This song book captures them right as their legend was firing—pure 1965-era Stones energy.
