Taken for what it is, Exile On Main St. (the paperback) would be receivable if it werent because several other problems that deduct from the credibility of even gossip.

Keith Richards Rents Villa Nellcote to Record Exile On Main Street
His 2006 book Exile On Main St.: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones, is a snapshot of a moment in time, 35 years earlier, the summer of 1971, the south of France. The Stones were turning the corner from only stardom to superstardom,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and really were in banish, escaping Britains outrageously high tax burdens for those who made the kind of money these rockers were now bringing in.
The biggest displeasure here is the absence of coverage of the substantial melody making. In 258 pages, one is hard-pressed to find ten that refer to the songwriting, rehearsal or recording of the anthems that became Exile On Main Street. Rather, Greenfield goes into minute elaborate about the decadent, drug-infused goings-on by Nellcote.
Only the reader who ambition take anything they tin get about the lifestyles of Mick, Keith and the boys will find this book satisfying. There is no deficit of drug-soaked tales, while Keith, who Greenfield seems to adore,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], manages to come across as a across among a hero and a victim, when most every one of the dozens of "houseguests" is a problem in one course or distinct.
Robert Greenfield is apparently both a good author and a true lover of rock 'n roll, which makes Exile On Main St. entire the more a disappointment. For fans whove peruse every last book and treatise on the Rolling Stones, seeing to fill in the few remaining cracks we dont additionally know about the band's personal moments, this book will aid do so.
Exile On Main Street (the album) was unlocked in May 72 apt warm reviews. A dense album with no signature hits, it took years to find its area as not only 1 of the Stones very best recordings but perhaps an of rocks best albums. Judging from the title of Greenfields book then, 1 might anticipate this book to be especially about the logging of one the greatest rock n coil bands greatest albums. Not so.

Worse, the author spends a host of pages throughout the book snidely attempting to discredit the published stories at other writers (especially Spanish Tony Sanchez) about this same subject stuff. Yet Greenfield himself refers more than once to Jumpin Jack Flash as a Sticky Fingers trace. Not merely erroneous, yet very elementary perception for Stones fans.
