Album Notes Originally released as a 2 LP set.The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Keith Richards (vocals, guitar, piano, bass); Mick Taylor (guitar, bass); Bill Wyman (bass); Charlie Watts (drums).Additional personnel: Al Perkins (steel guitar); Bobby Keys (saxophone, percussion); Jim Price (trumpet, trombone, organ); Ian Stewart, Nicky Hopkins (piano); Billy Preston (keyboards); Amyl Nitrate (marimba); Bill Plummer (acoustic & electric basses); Jimmy Miller (drums, percussion); Clydie King, Vanetta, Jerry Kirkland, Tammi Lynn, Shirley Goodman, Joe Green, Kathi McDonald (background vocals).Engineers include: Andy Johns, Glyn Johns, Joe Zaganno.Digitally remastered by Bob Ludwig (Gateway Mastering Studios).If the late '60s were the Rolling Stones' road trip through rock's American roots, then EXILE ON MAIN STREET was the stop at the highway diner. Still inspired by their STICKY FINGERS recording sessions in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, EXILE was recorded in a basement in France, and found the Stones sounding more like Keith Richards' juke-joint band than ever before.Following their 1969 tour, the Stones found themselves unable to pay their exorbitant British income taxes. The band left England as tax exiles, and EXILE became a fitting title for a band on top of the rock charts, yet unable to pay their bills.EXILE's production shows their in-hiding status, with a final mix that gives no hierarchy to specific instruments like other Stones albums. That EXILE was recorded in a basement is no surprise--much of it sounds as if it was recorded live at a gospel revival. In this rich assortment of gospel and blues Mick is by no means out of his element, but EXILE is under Keith's revivalist tent. Armed with an assortment of backing musicians and vocalists, EXILE is the closest the band ever came to religion.The luxurious "Tumbling Dice" and "Loving Cup" betray their Southern gospel leanings, while their cover of Robert Johnson's "Stop Breaking Down" shows their undeniable respect for American blues. EXILE ON MAIN STREET's double-album configuration allowed the band to relax a bit, and allowed less obvious singles to dominate the final mix.

Top Reviews  A Masterpiece 33 of 36 people found this review helpful. This album is full of incredible music. It is raw, the songs are strong, the playing is masterful and the whole thing sounds like all the greatest ingredients have been poured into a pot and put on an album. All the players deserve a credit including the understated but utterly tasteful newish boy Mick Taylor and the song writing genius of Keith, but for me Jagger is the star of this particular show. HIs singing is mean, dirty, raw, soulful and poetic all at the same time, and the lyrics jump out at you when you listen. Forgive him all his rock errors because this is complete singer/songwriter genius. I cannot encourage music fans enough to wallow in this album. Review ID: 10000000003831595 Was this review helpful?
