Summary
The definitive story of Brian Jones, founder of the Rolling Stones.
The story of the Rolling Stones is one of the epic rock ‘n’ roll yarns of our time. Their music defined today’s cultural landscape and their history is a source of endless fascination for music fans around the world. Yet one crucial part of that story has never been comprehensively analysed—the role of Brian Jones, the visionary who founded the band and controlled their early music down to the smallest detail.
