My Favourite CDs
Each month, I'll feature one of my favourite CDs here. This month it's 'Exile on Main Street' by The Rolling Stones.
Exile on Main St. is the tenth studio album by English rock band the Rolling Stones. Released on 12 May 1972, it is viewed as a culmination of a string of the band's most critically successful albums, following Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers. Exile on Main St. is known for its wide stylistic range and the strong influence of Delta Blues, gospel music, and country rock. The album was originally met with mixed reviews before receiving strong reassessments by the end of the 1970s. It has since been recognized as a pivotal rock album, viewed by many critics as the Rolling Stones' best work and as one of the greatest albums of all time. The album was a commercial success, topping the charts in six countries, including the Netherlands, Norway, Canada, Sweden, the US and UK. Recording began in 1969 at Olympic Studios in London during sessions for Sticky Fingers, with the main sessions beginning in mid-1971 at Nellcôte, a rented villa in the South of France, after the band members became tax exiles. Due to the lack of a professional studio nearby, they worked with a mobile recording studio and recorded in-house. The loose and unorganised Nellcôte sessions went on for hours into the night, with personnel varying greatly from day to day. Recording was completed with overdub sessions at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles and included additional musicians such as the pianist Nicky Hopkins, the saxophonist Bobby Keys.
