Bob Dylan non si fa intervistare. Quella che dipinge il musicista come schivo, riservato, persino scontroso è in realtà una leggenda metropolitana. Certo, Bob Dylan non ha mai amato essere costretto a tenere rapporti continuativi con la stampa. Ma nel corso della sua lunga carriera ha tenuto molte conferenze, ha partecipato a programmi radiofonici e televisivi, chiacchierato con giornalisti e scrittori, rilasciato interviste mirate. Spesso ha risposto in modo evasivo o sibillino a domande banali e di poco conto, però quando gli si rivolgevano domande intelligenti offriva risposte rivelatrici sulla sua musica e sulla sua vita privata.

Am 12. Juli 1962 gaben die Stones in London ihr erstes Konzert. 1988 hat Martin Scholz Keith Richards zum ersten Mal interviewt. Seither haben die Stones dem Journalisten und Autor elf Mal Rede und Antwort gestanden, mal gemeinsam, mal allein, in München, London, Paris, Brüssel oder Hamburg. Etliche Bandmitglieder kommen hier zu Wort: Neben Richards natürlich auch Mick Jagger und Ron Wood aber auch Bill Wyman, immerhin 31 Jahre Bassist bei den Stones, und der jüngst verstorbene Charlie Watts, der ganze 59 Jahre Bandmitglied war.

Hasta 2014, cuando los Rolling Stones cumplían cincuenta y dos años de existencia, había más de sesenta álbumes publicados de la banda, veinticinco documentales, cientos de discos y videos piratas. Hasta el año 2012, había 1.546 sesiones de grabación, 842 títulos registrados y 1.545...

A founding editor of Rolling Stone and acclaimed journalist gives a backstage pass to the most important band in rock’n’roll history during the height of their fame. In 1969 Michael Lydon, a founding editor of Rolling Stone and a leading member of rock writing's first generation, got a dream...

Charlie Watts provided the foundation that underpinned the music of the Rolling Stones. The band became a by-word for rock 'n' roll excess but for Watts, playing with the Stones did not become the ego trip that drove Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. A jazz aficionado, Watts vied with Bill Wyman for the title of least charismatic member of the band; he eschewed the limelight and rarely gave interviews. And he famously described life with the Stones as five years of playing, 20 years of hanging around.

Listen to the original source of Stones myths and legends about gangsters, celebrities, drugs, movies, orgies, death, blood changes, and magnificent songs coming to life. A must-have companion to Keith’s excellent audiobook Life.

Edición ampliada y revisada de la historia de la canción de Bob Dylan, elegida por la revista Rolling Stone como la canción más importante de la historia del rock. Greil Marcus ha escrito la biografía de una canción. Grabada el 16 de junio de 1965, "Like a Rolling Stone" se incorporó inmediatamente a la iconografía de su época, y con tanta fuerza que varias décadas después sigue evadiendo los zarpazos del tiempo.

You know her voice. Now hear her story.

Audible has teamed up with Rolling Stone to produce an uncompromisingly honest Audible Original that honors the life and legacy of the incomparable Aretha Franklin. Aretha’s universal appeal was evident from the release of her first album at age 14 through her nearly 50 Top 40 hits. Yet this intimate biography reminds us that Aretha knew pain as much as she knew glory. It was the blues, residing deep within her soul, that gave way to a voice able to lift millions with a profound sense of freedom, self-worth, and undeniable talent to rise above sorrow.

In 1968 Mick Jagger couldn't understand why the Rolling Stones were broke. The man he asked for help was a German prince, a merchant banker. They forged an unlikely alliance which re-invented the business of rock 'n' roll. As a youthquake shook the Establishment, Prince Rupert Loewenstein thrived in both worlds, never relinquishing his elegance or decorum. Coolly impartial and dryly humorous, this is a refreshingly different take on the rock 'n' roll world from within its inner sanctum.

“An affectionate portrait, one that recognizes Watts as musician, colleague, family man, obsessive collector and immaculate dresser.”—Sunday Times “Sexton, a longtime Stones chronicler, tells Watts’s story with warmth and diligence.”—Observer The fully authorized and official...
