Review: "For the past fifty years, Rolling Stone has been a leading voice in journalism, cultural criticism, and--above all--music. This landmark book documents the magazine's rise to prominence as the voice of rock and roll and a leading showcase for era-defining photography. From the 1960s to the present day, the book offers a decade-by-decade exploration of American music and history. Interviews with rock legends--Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Kurt Cobain, Bruce Springsteen, and more--appear alongside iconic photographs by Baron Wolman, Annie Leibovitz, Mark Seliger, and other leading image-makers. With feature articles, excerpts, and exposés by such quintessential writers as Hunter S. Thompson, Matt Taibbi, and David Harris, this book is an irresistible and essential keepsake of the magazine that has defined American music for generations of readers" -- provided by publisher.

Library Journal Review

In 1967, the first issue of Rolling Stone magazine commenced the publication's five--decade odyssey, which has included coverage of music, film, television, current events and politics, combined with memorable photographic portraits that range in mood from dramatic and emotional to whimsical. This gorgeous, large-scale coffee-table book is organized chronologically and includes iconic images of a vast panoply of the giants of the arts, excerpts from famous interviews and pieces, and current reflections and background context on some of the magazine's most memorable stories, with topics ranging from musicians and society to presidential campaigns, the early years of the AIDS epidemic, and the dangers of climate change. Writers from Hunter S. Thompson to Tom Wolfe, and -photographers such as Annie Leibovitz and Mark Seliger have been associated with Rolling Stone, and their work is pivotal in any review of the past decades of entertainment and culture. VERDICT As a capsule of the changing times, tastes and styles of the last half-century, this book is both a fitting tribute to a singular publication, and more importantly, a mirror and survey of our society and times.-James Collins, Morristown-Morris Twp.
