'An intriguing prospect for serious Stones fans.' Ian Fortnam,
Classic Rock
'A bold attempt to up the intellectual ante around Stones
criticism.' Jim Wirth, Uncut
'There's an entertaining look at a clutch of Stones country songs …
a decent reassessment of their psychedelic period … and a welcome
upgrade for Brian Jones as founder, world music maverick and the
group's true dandy.' Neil Spencer, The Observer
'… there are some interesting theories as the profs examine how
psychedelia's aftershock resonated after Their Satanic Majesties
and county music infiltrated, giving songs hatched from Keith's
gut-level urges and relentless margination a depth even he might
not have imagined …' Kris Needs, Record Collector
'… The Cambridge Companion to the Rolling Stones constitutes a
balanced work, which should be welcomed in that it inaugurates a
vast field of study and research, that of Rolling Stones studies,
which is set to develop.' Philippe Gonin, Revue de musicologie
