Time marches on: by 2022 it will have been fifty years since the
release of the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St. and the epic,
infamous American tour the band undertook to promote that album.
2022 also marks the 60th anniversary year of the formation of the
band. The Rolling Stones In America is published in time to mark
both of these anniversaries. Why were the Stones so successful in
the States when so many other English bands failed to make their
mark? Why was the band so drawn towards American blues music? What
was their relationship with the burgeoning American
counter-culture? What really happened at Altamont, and why? It
could be argued that a marker for the end of the Sixties era might
be the Stones' infamous 1972 American tour. So much had changed in
the three years since their last American tour that the 1972 tour
might deserve deeper attention than it had previously been given;
perhaps it might even be as significant as other events that
cultural historians traditionally identify to mark the end of the
long 1960s - such as Richard Nixon's re-election for a second
Presidential term in November 1971, the Watergate scandal and
impeachment of 1973 that ended Nixon's presidency, or the American
military withdrawal from Vietnam in 1973, with the war ending in
defeat in 1975. This hugely detailed tome addresses those
questions, making this a unique addition to the Rolling Stones'
bibliography.
