After
the death of Brian Jones, The Rolling Stones revamped
their blues rock edge with the addition of guitarist Mick Taylor,
whose guitar sound was all over the 1972 double Lp release of Exile
On Main Street. Eagles 90 minute DVD rockumentary,
entitled Stones In Exile offers a fascinating expose
regarding this legendary rock album. In essence, the DVD gives the
album a second life, bringing it back from the archives with rare,
vintage video footage and new interviews with all the Stones, including
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill
Wyman, Mick Taylor and also Ronnie Wood. Other key
members of the Stones entourage in France for the making of
the original Exile double albumincluding Bobby Keys,
engineer Andy Johns and othersoffer a fresh perspective
with some very vivid memories and perfect segues from the band first
recording as tax exiles in the South of France, to polishing the album
off in L.A. where they watched the project hit the music world, fresh
off the presses. Enhancing the Stones In Exile documentary
footage are new, extended interviews with all concerned. Even die
hard Stones fans from the 60sthose
who grew up with the Stones as kings in the Top 40 world of AM radiowill
have to admit this expertly produced DVD rockumentary shines a fresh
light on one of their most overlooked and underrated album releases.
