iTunes Review

Even the greatest artists generally start out trying to copy their heroes. It's how they fail, and thereby end up creating their own art, that makes them great. On their 1964 debut, the young Stones (yes, they were young once) miss the mark just enough on songs by Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Willie Dixon, and others to stand apart from most other Americana-obsessed peers in Britain. What jumps out on Bobby Troup's "Route 66," Berry's "Carol," and Rufus Thomas' "Walking the Dog" are Brian Jones' and Keith Richards' stinging guitar sounds and the crisp, economical Bill Wyman-Charlie Watts rhythm section — as much the signatures through the band's history as Mick's lips. The lone Jagger-Richards original, the '50s-styled "Tell Me," is a template for many a Stones ballad to come. But only hindsight allows realization that this band would one day make Exile on Main St.

Customer Reviews

Composer: Nanker Phelge

It's a little-known fact that the composer name "Nanker Phelge" occasionally seen on Rolling Stones album credits was actually a pseudonym used for early Rolling Stones group compositions. Stones bassist Bill Wyman explained the origins of the name in his 2002 book, "Rolling With the Stones" and thus any tracks credited to Nanker Phelge actually refer to a Jagger/Jones/Richards/Watts/Wyman composition, such as "Now I’ve Got A Witness" and "Little By Little" on this album.

The Stones First Release..

The Rolling Stones were, at first, a blues band and this CD shows that even as young as they were they had a great deal to offer. Keith is the instrumental leader of the band. To erase any doubt, listen to "I'm A King Bee" and" I Just Want to Make Love to You".Then be convinced! Mick's front man skill is in need of polishing, Brian Jones' contribution to this is a willingness to try anything. Fans will miss his presence later on. Mick and Keith would not, or could not, tolerate the differing creative direction Brian wished to persue. Brian's life was never the same after his dismissal from the band. Billy Wyman is older and sharper, espically evident in "I'm a King Bee" where he is the perfect compliment to young Keith's rough edged talent. Charley Watts is Charley Watts, which is to say that he is doing here 41 years ago what he does now, laying down the beat as few others can,or ever will. The Instrumental "Now I've Got a Witness" is a festival of the band's blues roots and Mick's work on the harmonica will knock your socks off. Yes, there are some rough spots ,but relative to their lack of polish, wow. Few bands had a more solid opening with such young talents.

"You Can Make It If You Try!"

.." Yeah, Little By Little, I Found Out You's Untrue.." The truth is; they had so much more in '64 than any of their over-inflated "British Brothers!" "England's Newest Hitmakers" was truly a "Classic First Album" by a young, raw R&B/Blues combo who was totally obsessed with our American musicians! (They literally "gave back to us" so much of our own music; that; quite frankly; was not being played much on our own radio stations back then!) We are most thankful for the Rolling Stones for "turning on" us suburban white teens to the sounds of: Willie Dixon, Slim Harpo, Bobby Troup, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Rufus Thomas & of course; the king: Chuck Berry! (In my humble opinion, the Stones' first LP "Stung The States Like A King Bee"; and really kicked off what the press termed: "The British Invasion!" "My Love's Bigger Than A Cadillac; I Try To Show It And You Drive Me Back!" (No; they did not play this one at my Junior High School Social Dances!)-These Stones will "Not Fade Away!"-...by Grimmbo.

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

By the time the Rolling Stones began calling themselves the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the late '60s, they had already staked out an impressive claim on the title. As the self-consciously dangerous alternative to the bouncy Merseybeat of the Beatles in the British Invasion, the Stones had pioneered the gritty, hard-driving blues-based rock & roll that came to define hard rock. With his preening machismo and latent maliciousness, Mick Jagger became the prototypical rock frontman,...
