The Rolling Stones: Exile Outtakes
Upon the first ten to twenty listens, The Stones Exile On Main Street comes off as a real f@cking mess, and doesn't begin to reveal its true self and the charms within for even longer. But such is the case with most lasting art and Exile is no different. Famously recorded in France while the Stones were in "tax exile" in the basement of Richards rented Villa Nellcôte seaside mansion, the album is a long murky trip through traditional blues, country, folk, boogie woogie, rock & roll and everything in between. It's also, in a word, excellent.
The history of these sessions is the stuff of legend with varied musical guests popping in and out (see: gram parsons). These demos/alternate versions only magnify the loose, debauched and creative atmosphere at the Villa Nellcôte in the summer of 1971.
"In the spring of 1971, nine years into their existence as the world's greatest rock & roll band, the
Rolling Stones learned to their great dismay that they were not only broke but would also have to leave England to avoid paying British income tax. They decamped to the French Riviera -- aptly described by Somerset Maugham as "a sunny place for shady people," where all forms of aberrant behavior had always been tolerated so long as the bill was always paid on time -- and began recording their new album in the basement of Villa Nellcôte,
Keith Richards' sumptuous mansion by the sea. The result was the Stones' only double album, the classic "Exile on Main Street." -
