hotlicks My son posted his own review of exile on a music website, on which the reviewer argued the case that he thought exile was a weak album, here's my son's response.

"If an alien landed in your back garden tonight, and you wanted to explain what rock n' roll was all about, you would probably play 'Exile on main street' in it's entirety. When I first heard this album I thought some of the tracks were good, some not so good, but now after repeated listens I would say it's the most honest and heartfelt stones album, a band paying tribute to their r'n'b, country and blues roots, whilst making rock history while they are doing it.

Lyrically I don't think they've been better either, and the whole album plays like a aural equivalent of a American road trip. Singing around the campfire in the mountains to 'Sweet Virginia'. Gambling in Las Vegas to 'Tumbling Dice'. Sampling a Saturday night fish fry in new Orleans to 'Just wanna see his face'. Dropping into a Texas juke joint to 'Torn and frayed'.
Attending a gospel choir in a Harlem chapel to 'Shine a light'. Hanging on the corner with some Chicago blues men to 'Shake your hips'.

Even the photography on the album cover is by Robert Frank, who is known for his famous collection of photographs from the '40s and '50s called 'The Americans', which show the heart of America and its people, in both it's urban and rural settings. All in all, it's one of the finest records I've ever had the pleasure of listening to."

Give that boy a guitar and pen and let him rip, Ronnie!

Child of the Moon Your son and I need to sit down and groove to that album together, because he took the words right out of my mouth. Rock and roll.
