From Amazon.co.uk
Before Keith Richards' bad habits took over for a time in the mid-'70s, his work ethic was quite high. Stories abound of the long, if somewhat off-schedule, hours he spent working on this classic album in the basement of his home in France. Hanging together as much because of great songwriting ("Rocks Off," "Soul Survivor") as its fabled grungy atmosphere, Exile caps the Stones' great 1968-'72 run with a force that belies their supposed spiritual tiredness. What some of these songs are about is anybody's guess--Keith claims "Ventilator Blues" was inspired by a grate, while the song plays like an ode to a pistol--but that's just part of this album's hazy game. --Rickey Wright
Amazon.com essential recording
From the swaggering frustration in the first song ("I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping," Mick Jagger sings in the hyper "Rocks Off"), the Stones speed through familiar neighborhoods of country, blues, and R&B on Exile. They never even bother to stop when they've crashed into something. They don't leap into new worlds so much as master the old ones, turning Slim Harpo's blues obscurity "Hip Shake" into a harp-and-piano steamroller and setting spines a-cracking in "Ventilator Blues." Both "Tumbling Dice" and Keith Richards's "Happy" have become hits, but the 1972 album is most notable for its overall murky adrenaline. --Steve Knopper

L'Amérique selon les Stones, recréée dans une cave sur la Côte d'Azur ! L'exil, c'est un peu la vie des Rolling Stones au début des années soixante-dix. Ils ont fui l'Angleterre pour des raisons fiscales et le guitariste Keith Richards, héroïnomane de réputation internationale, a tout intérêt à éviter les douaniers chatouilleux. Qu'à cela ne tienne, ses acolytes viennent enregistrer chez lui à Villefranche. Et c'est là, isolés, soudés par les circonstances dans un studio souterrain improvisé que les Stones vont recréer une Amérique de rêve, celle de leurs idoles et de leurs racines musicales : gospel ("Shine A Light" avec l'orgue de Billy Preston, "Just Wanna See His Face"), country blues ("Black Angel"), boogie ("Rip This Joint", "Turd On The Run"), country'n'western ("Sweet Virginia"), soul ("Let It Loose") et puis le rock, tout simplement avec trois classiques de taille : "Happy", chanté par Richards, "All Down The Line" et "Tumbling Dice". Les Stones sont en très grande forme, ils swinguent comme jamais, Richards surtout qui grave, ici, quelques-uns de ses meilleurs riffs. Happés plus tard par la jet-set et usés par les drogues, ils enregistreront encore de grands disques, mais celui-ci est leur dernier vrai chef-d'oeuvre. --Hubert Deshouse
