It's Only Rock 'n Roll

It's Only Rock 'n Roll (1974) is a studio album by The Rolling Stones that blends the band's rock and British rhythm and blues roots with elements of blues rock, boogie rock and harder-edged rock. The record includes the title track "It's Only Rock 'n Roll (But I Like It)" and features prominent guitar work from Mick Taylor alongside contributions from Ronnie Wood as his involvement with the group increased. Musically it moves between gritty rockers, bluesy grooves and boogie-tinged numbers, reflecting a transitional period for the band in the mid 1970s.
