Product Information There's always a lot of talk about the cluttered mix and low production values of Exile On Main St., but the essence of the record is its tight focus on the essential ingredients of blues rock 'n' roll songs and the style of the Stones. How they turned into a record is one thing. But how the band wrote and played them is another, and as a collection of rock-country-blues songs, Exile is a masterpiece. There are few moments on the album that can be faulted: it's a massively powerful, almost devastating experience. It's also one of the most talked about. Exile On Main Street picks up where Sticky Fingers left off: The Stones dispose of one set of solutions - going into exile to escape the cops and robbers of Her Majesty's Revenue Service - only to be confronted with another set of problems, mostly (according to popular myth) in the form of sex and drugs. The only way to confront these powerful demons is, of course, the third part of the holy trinity: rock'n'roll. The album kicks off like a total rocker. Rocks Off isn't a subtle title, and the song isn't fragile either, although there is a wistful undertone in the lyrics, hearing the inaudible voices on the street and longing for the release that comes only in sleep. Rip This Joint doesn't need much explanation either: the fastest song the Stones have ever recorded, it's an absolute blast, Mick Jagger sounds like the biggest lunatic on it, howling and hollering like Jumpin' Jack Flash himself, half-unintelligible nonsense about "Birmin' ham and Alabam' not givin' a dam" bubbling out of those famous lips in mad delight. The dancing mood continues, albeit at a slightly less frenetic pace, in Shake Your Hips, and then slows to a more laconic shuffle in Casino Boogie. Three terrific slow numbers follow: Tumbling Dice, Sweet Virginia and then a heartbreaking tribute to the guitarist of Torn and Frayed. These songs are so famous that writing anything new about them is virtually impossible. But it's worth saying - though it's certainly been stated many times - that the programming of these opening seven songs is absolutely inspired; they hit the listener with three super-fast bursts of danceable blues-rock, only to bring them to tear-jerking country balladry through a reflective, wistful mood. The emotional control at work here is hidden behind the chaotic sonic values and the music's overall droopy mood; but it's deliberate and brilliant. We then move into a sequence of three songs about lerrrve, ladies and gentlemen, in all its hope and glory: the love of freedom in Sweet Black Angel; the pleading longing in Loving Cup; and - Keith's special moment not just on the whole album, but in the whole ouevre and history of The Rolling Stones - Happy. From there we move on, leaving the light of love behind and turning instead to the lingering darkness in the haunted dungeon beneath the sunlit rooms of the great Villa Nellcote. First a mischievous-sounding but pain-ridden Turd on the Run: "Well, I've lost a lot of love because of you." And then it's goodbye. Then the agonising bottom of the album, Ventilator Blues: "...your spine is cracking and your hands are shaking...". When you're trapped and circling without a second chance, your code of life is a weapon in your hand. " And finally, the potential redemption of I Just Want To See His Face: surely (intentionally) the most bland vocal (lead and chorus) the band has ever recorded. "Sometimes you have no one and you want to love someone. Then you don't want to go and talk about Jesus, you just want to see his face." And then we're off and on our feet again, into the great wall of rhythmic blues rock that builds and builds towards the end of the album, moving at different tempos through obvious rockers like Let It Loose and All Down The Line; the deep blues of Stop Breaking Down; the rock 'n' roll prayer that is Shine A Light (whose title Scorsese took as his own when he fixed his all-seeing eyes on the Stones); and finally, the confirmation that something has lasted: Soul Survivor.
