Very Bluesy, Very Good

"This is the blues at it's very best. Mick's young voice is in fine form, Lord he sounds like a young black man singing his heart out, he could almost be Sam Cooke. "Little by Little," "Walking the Dog," and "Carol" are just plain blues to die for and I swear he does "Not Fade a Way," not a bit like Buddy Holly. I used to play this record a whole lot, but over the years it's sort of been at the back of my CD pile. I'm glad I gave it a listen this morning, it's like an old friend I haven't seen in a while, a friend I'll be listening to a lot more now."
Do You Think They Knew?

""Route 66," "I Just Want to Make Love to You," "Honest I Do," and the rest of the songs on this record show us the influence of the Blues on Rock and Roll. I have to admit that I came late to the Stones and haven't really paid much attention to the earlier stuff, till my friends and I decided to review their records. I spent a week with this record, "Out of Our Heads" and "Aftermath," playing them over and over again, so that I'd have a good understanding and appreciation of them when we got together to write our reviews. Wow, is all I can say. I appreciate them now, and I think I understand them, they are just plain down and out Rhythm and Blues records. Do you think they knew back then, when they heard this record for the first time that they were listening to what was going to become THE GREATEST GROUP ON EARTH, Really, do you think they knew?"
Never Fade Away

"I've heard that back in the early Sixties the Rolling Stones were the bad boys of the English music scene while the Beatles were the good guys. Well, give me the bad boys any day of the week, month or year. This is the Stones debut album and you can tell from the very first chord, from the second Mick Jaggar opens his mouth that this is a band to be reckoned with. Nobody did it like the Stones back then and nobody does it like the Stones today. They've been around my whole life. I grew up with them and God willing, I'll grow old with them. I've seen them live more times than I can count, loved every second of every show. Let's all hope that the Rolling Stones Never Fade Away."
