yes, this is another thread on the genius of exile but this time, i want to praise mick.
just read the new greenfield book and while it was entertaining - nothing new - it also perpetuated the myth that keith made exile all alone.
wrong - this is as much a mick album than keith.
yes, keith was inspired here but what would exile be without jagger's great, mysterious and haunting lyrics?
or his intense vocal performances?
the music wouls still be great but in my opinion, it would lack the heart...
i want to know how my fellow exile devotees feel about mick's contribution....
tell me what you thing jagger gave to exile... |

He gave his soul and a period of his life that can only be admired - not recreated.

Mick's vocals on Exile are perhaps the most pure "rock and roll" vocals of all time; it is truly what rock and roll "singing" should sound like.
"Rocks Off" is perhaps the greatest vocal track ever. |

true jizz, but that's my point...
mick never gets as much credit as keith does.
not to take anything away from keith, but jagger's lyrics and vocals were genius - and without that, the entire album would be a great jam session.

Mick´s performances in Ventilator Blues and Soul Survivour alone make him the greatest rock singer ever. |

Add Let It Loose and the other 14 and half tunes there. |

Strange that Mick thinks so relatively little of the album |

I have to agree. Mick's vocals on the superb "Exile" help to add that down-and-dirty feel that we all love so much. The opener, RO, is purely brilliant work. Mick's voice takes over when the opening guitar licks end. |

I have been hooked, HOOKED, HOOKED on the mono single mix for ALL DOWN THE LINE for about a month now. It is my current number one Stones jam. It to me is a perfect combination of Mick and Keith - I assume the arrangement is primarily Keith's - it seems trademark Exile in that another instrument comes into the mix every few bars to add to the excitement of the song, but the vocals and song itself are very Mickual and the vocal is fantastic. The only thing wrong with the mono mix is that the outro ad libs are either different or not quite as pronounced, and the outro ad-libs on the album versions are one of the coolest things ever recorded.
And it just doesn't get any better than the vocals on Let It Loose. |

... I agree. and what's more, one of my fav songs ever TORN AND FRAYED is pure mick worrying about keith. With Keith underlining maginficently with great baking vocals his mate's concerning about it. I wondered if team-art could go any further than that. |

Mick stars on Exile. His vocals were amazing. As was his lyrics. "Kissing cunt in Cannes" - indeed!
But, i think it's Jim Price's album. ALways have done. His arrangements made the album. |

exile is so fantastic
everything about it is awesome. i don't think there is a song on it that i don't like. some stones cd's have songs they are kinda lame and i don't really care for, but oh no not my exile.
happy happy everybody..... |

There are so many magical things about Exile and Texile is spot on about Mick's contribution. The most magical moment for me is not so much his up front stuff but his backing vocals on Happy. As sacrireligious as it sounds, I have always thought Mick singing Happy would have made an already amazing song even greater. |

I love MICK's voice on Ventilator Blues!

happy is such a signature song for keith to me -
but you're right wick,
jagger would have given the lyrics more bite...
and his vocals would have been stronger and ballsier, making it a more thrashing rock and roll song.

Does anyone have a transcription of the outro ad-libs on "All Down the Line?" I agree with everyone that this album is brilliant, and that's one of the coolest things about it. Some of the ad-libs are clear, others I'm not quite sure. |

I bet Jagger himself wouldn't know what exactly he says at the end of ADTL. That is what makes all those outros so incredible great. "Soul Survior" too. |

As for the new Greenfield book, it was panned in yesterday's NY Times book review for being formulaic & Sherat over on www.maxlugar.com started a thread about howe bad it is. The guy cites JJF as being a track on Sticky Fingaz! |

Too many powders, perhaps? I saw the JJF/SF reference too. Very bad error. |

i was dissapointed in greenfield's new book too..
i loved stp - but this is just rehash of everything we've already read...for the most part.
it was like reading up and down again - we've heard it all before.
no new insight or revelations...
