(18 Customer Reviews)
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.

Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.90) - Ranked #7 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...EXILE ON MAIN STREET is the Stones at their fighting best, armed with blues, playing to win..." Rolling Stone (7/6/72, p.54) - "...continual topping of one's self can only go on for so long, after which one must sit back and sustain what has already been built. And with EXILE the Stones have chosen to sustain for the moment..." -Lenny Kaye Q (6/00, p.91) - Ranked #3 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums" - "...The Stones were at their most creative. The music simply flowed. The sound that emerged was dirty, sexy, soulful, f!ed-up and funky....a dizzy peak which the Stones never scaled again..."

| Exile On Main Street Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews Pure Brilliance.... Stones in Exile...best thing that could have ever happened to us...spectators.
And we did not even have to forfeit our souls. Submitted by faust8577 (Lorraine, Que. Canada) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful.
classic you can't argue with taking an already amazing album and making the sound more amazing. Submitted by a reviewer (west babylon,NY,USA)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
One of the best albums ever This album represents the Stones at their full potential. To quote another review on this album and I think it's accurate-this is an album that can be played late on a Saturday night and on an early Sunday morning.
You will find ballads, blues, and rock on this masterpiece with each listen revealing more. Submitted by John (Wilmington NC) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
5 stars... not 3 not 4... 5 stars For those poor souls who can't seem to comprehend the greatness of this album, it is because they don't understand that every song on an album doesn't have to be a bestseller to be great. Exile is the devil's cojones of early 70's rock. The Stones albums thereafter declined in quality, and they have never created such art since. They have had some other great moments, however. This is likely the closest to the pure essence of blues and rock that white boys from London will ever achieve. Submitted by kelleybj78253 (Washington DC) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
50's Rock/Blues/Western/Soul, What MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR? Rumours are that "Sticky Fingers" and "Exile On Main Street" are the two greatest Stones albums ever. So sure, enough, I'd do what any fan would do, and buy the albums:
Let me tell you,
This album is incredible. I'll admit, like some of the other reviews, that yes, there are some tracks that are slightly bland, but the majority of the album is intense.The standout tracks are:
"All Down The Line"
"Tumbling Dice"
"Rocks Off"
Do yourself a favour and pick this up today!!!
(P.S.- far better than Sticky Fingers) Submitted by Joe (Ituna) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

| | Faces Long Player CD (1971)
Exile On Main Street songs
$5.99 On their second album Long Player, the Faces truly gel -- which isn't quite the same thing as having the band straighten up and fly right because in many ways this is album is even more ragged than their debut, with tracks that sound like they were recorded through a shoebox thrown up against a couple of haphazardly placed live cuts. But if the album seems pieced together from a few different sources, the band itself all seems to be coming from the same place, turning into a ferocious rock & roll band who, on their best day, could wrestle the title of greatest rock & roll band away from the Stones. Certainly, the sheer force of the nine-minute jam ...

| | Benny Carter Centennial Project CD (2007)
Exile On Main Street album
$18.99 Evening Star Records, the label Benny Carter helped found in 1992, has released an all-star Carter tribute CD on the occasion of his 100th birthday. The multi-instrumentalist / arranger / composer, who died on July 12, 2003, was born on August 8, 1907. The new CD features many artists who worked closely with Carter during his final years. The nucleus of the project is the "Benny Carter Trio"-Carter's last working regular section: Chris Neville (piano), Steve LaSpina (bass), and Steve Johns (drums). Neville was perhaps Carter's closest musical associate during the last decade of his performing career. LaSpina is on several Carter CDs and both he and Johns toured with the saxophonist in the U.S., Europe, and the Far East.The project features several special guests who were friends and associates of Carter: trumpeters Warren Vache, Randy Sandke, and Joe Wilder, saxophonists Phil Woods, Loren Schoenberg, and Bill Kirchner, and guitarist Russell Malone. Although the recording revisits a couple of Carter's classic melodies and two of his arrangements, its purpose is not re-creation, a process ...
