Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. Written in two parts. Part 1 is about the overarching elements of the album: The cover artwork by photographer Robert Frank, immigrant outsider, shows a different side of America, an exile's view. A people as seen on city streets, in movie theaters, and roadside freakshows. The Stones, like characters in a Pynchon novel, are hiding/partying in a French villa still showing signs of Nazi occupation. The sixties are over; the band is ready to shed any pretenses of the reverb-drenched flower power. The technicolor robes and wizard hats come off and we see they've been palming bottles of brown liquor and pills all the while. The reader may find themselves wanting more of this background; juicy stories of absent Keith nodded off while the others are sweating in the basement at Nellcote like dishwashers; hard-working Keith laying down tracks while Mick is away neurotically checking on Bianca... This, however, is beyond the scope of this book, which is by necessity brief. Part 2 is a song-by-song review of the album. Janovitz has obviously listened to the album many, many times, and had time to formulate his own colorful and personal picture of what he's hearing, lyrically and instrumentally. Perhaps he hears more than is actually there, but that's testament to his deep love of the album. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Tracing the creation of Exile on Main Street from the original songwriting done while touring America through the final editing in Los Angeles, Bill Janovitz explains how an album recorded by a British band in a villa on the French Riviera is pure American rock & roll. Looking at each song individually, Janovitz unveils the innovative recording techniques, personal struggles, and rock & roll mythmaking that culminated in this pivotal album.
