Still inspired by their STICKY FINGERS recording sessions in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, EXILE ON MAIN STREET found the Rolling Stones sounding more like a Southern fried juke-joint band than ever before. That EXILE was recorded in a basement is no surprise, either--much of it sounds as if it was recorded live at a gospel revival, with a final mix that gives no hierarchy to specific instruments. The result is a swampy, most exhilarating chunk of rock & roll euphoria. EXILE sharpens the country, blues, and gospel tendencies the Stones began exploring in the late '60s on albums like BEGGAR'S BANQUET. Here, armed with an assortment of backing musicians and vocalists, the band virtually inhabits the spirit of each style, distilling the whole to a ragged, soulful perfection. From the escalating, horn-driven vamps of "Rocks Off" through the back porch singalong "Sweet Virginia" to the mean blues stomp of "Ventilator Blues" and the church-like strains of "Shine a Light," EXILE's double-album length plays like a weary, boozed-up sermon on the very meaning of rock music. This is the closest the band ever came to religion, and it still has the power to convert.

Reviews  Most excellent Stones album ever.... I am the Stones number 1 fan. This album is a must have for anyone who remotely loves them as well or is a fan of blues. The Stones are the most remarkable rock and roll band of all time and this album is proof. Review ID: 10000000007900907 Was this review helpful?

Just thought it was time to buy the CD.Even if you're not a fan of The Stones you cannot deny that this is one of the best albums ever recorded from any era/genre etc. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
