In 2008, author Steven Kurutz released his book “Like a Rolling Stone: The Strange Life of a Tribute Band.” It features Glen Carroll on the cover and observes the world of Sticky Fingers while they repeated the path of The Rolling Stones 2005-2006 tour, playing at different places.Kurutz, Steven. “Like a Rolling Stone: The Strange Life of a Tribute Band.” Crown Archetype. April 22, 2008.

Steven Kurutz defines Sticky Fingers as a tribute band because these musicians not only strives to sound but also look like The Rolling Stones. As Kurutz says, such tribute bands "dedicate themselves to one particular group and try to emulate them".
