A Kweevak.com DVD Review
![]()
In May of 1972, The Rolling Stones released Exile On Main Street - a double album that was a commercial success but criticized by many at the time. Eventually, Exile would be considered a masterpiece for its eclectic blend of blues, country, horns, rock and soul. As the story goes, The Stones were taxed out of England and went to France in exile. Keith Richards rented Nellcote and had remote recording equipment brought in and placed in the dank basement of the villa. It was here that much of Exile was recorded. In 2010, a remastered version of Exile with ten new tracks was released along with a DVD entitled Stones In Exile (Eagle Vision). The DVD features never before seen footage, interviews with all five Stones and segments from the mythical Cocksucker Blues movie. Stones In Exile documents the rawness of the recording process with musicians scattered about a sweaty basement piece-mealing the tracks together. Things were handled at all hours in a haphazard manner. Often, at least one or more of the Stones were missing from the sessions as sections were worked out. Usually, it was Keith who was out of action while passed out upstairs in the mansion. Yet, slowly the songs came together. The DVD showcases many musical moments along with plentiful parties. Bonus footage and remembrances complete the package. The end product was a raw rootsy record and the DVD captures the essence of the process. Stones In Exile is edgy, engaging and a must for Stones fans. Info: -- USA/NY 2010: Order DVD (Laura Turner Lynch/Kweevak.com) |
