Rolling Stones: Albums
built 224 days ago
The Rolling Stones never even looked innocent, as one can see on their early album covers. They were making grown-up music from the beginning, and the rocking blues on their early albums has held up almost as well as original blues recordings by Muddy Waters or Jimmy Reed. It retains its gritty integrity, whether it's blasting from a tinny portable radio or heard through earphones on audiophile pressings.

Looks like the Rolling Stones plan to keep on rolling well into the next millennium. On August 18, 1997, they launched their most recent album/tour package, Bridges to Babylon, with a full production number under New York City's Brooklyn Bridge. Traffic disappeared and a chopper hovered overhead as the four oldest teenagers in the world cruised in from Manhattan in a cherry-red 1955 Caddy convertible, a police escort leading the way.

The Faces released their debut album First Step in early 1970 with a rock and roll style similar to the Rolling Stones. While the album did better in the UK than the U.S., the Faces quickly earned a strong live following. Stewart would release his second album,Gasoline Alley that autumn. Rod's new approach was similar to his first album, as exemplified by the dynamic but haunting title track... mandolin was introduced into the sound. He also launched a solo tour.
