Today we celebrate the birthday of Rolling Stones producer Jimmy Miller who was born on March 23, 1942. Like the Stones, Miller was a little kid growing up during and after World War II, but Miller was an American born in Brooklyn. Miller made important recordings with Blind Faith, Spooky Tooth, Traffic, Motörhead, the Plasmatics, and Primal Scream, but he was best known for his part in the Stones’ legendary run of records: Beggars Banquet (1968), Let It Bleed (1969), Sticky Fingers (1971), Exile on Main St. (1972) and Goats Head Soup (1973). Miller died in 1994.

Felt like taking a break from the horror postings to share a new Rolling Stones documentary that just popped up on YouTube. The Under Review documentaries feature some of the biggest names in music criticism in their career spanning investigations. There are a number of Under Review chapters on the Rolling Stones, and here the Under Review crew examines the so-called Second Wave of the Rolling Stones career, starting with Between the Buttons and ending with the Let it Bleed. The documentary spans from the end of the 1960′s to the beginning of the Stones classic late 1970′s run of records, paralleling the band’s ascendance against the backdrop of the death of the Age of Aquarius.

Here you go…
