To listen to The Stone Fiddle is to enter into Paddy Tunney's sense of himself, to step into a lost world preserved only in his memory and imagination. As Bill Meek wrote in The Irish Times, 'Paddy Tunney's book is much more than a collection of songs ... only infrequently can a study be said to reveal a culture from within. When such an event occurs, the result can be electrifying, and such is the effect of The Stone Fiddle, undoubtedly a piece of literature, and yet so directed by the oral tradition that the pages dance with a degree of life denied to most literary works.'

Behold the Rolling Stones: run-ins with the law, chart-topping successes, and now the World's Greatest Continually Operating Rock and Roll Band. 50 Licks tells the story of the Stones, right from its very origins.

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.

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.
