ALBUM GRADE: 7
It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll is the 12th British album by The Rolling Stones, and their 14th American album. It would be the last album to feature guitarist Mick Taylor and although the songwriting and recording of the album’s title track is credited to the Rolling Stones songwriting team Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, future Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood (Taylor’s eventual replacement) collaborated with Jagger on it.
