The Rolling Stones: The Mick Taylor Years

This well-written documentary about the most creative period of the World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band – 1969-1974 – is filled with lots of clips, rare photos and even has the budget to include some of the music its talking about (although far too much of the soundtrack is bland rip-offs of The Rolling Stones sound). It also has a long list of aging rock critics ready to pontificate about the Stones, their music and what it means to the world. The real crime, though, is that the movie has only two actual interview clips with the man the whole movie is about – guitarist Mick Taylor – which is a shame.
