I took off The Carpenters record I was listening to and listened to this all the way through when I saw this listed here.. I don't listen to Exile very often and I've never listened to it all the way through.
I'm not sure the Stones always age so well. I'm tired of seeing Mick and Keef on magazine covers. Do they really have anything to say now ? Though I'm always pleased to put on Sticky Fingers, Rolled Gold or some other records. Goats Head Soup just recently. Exile is slow burn. About midway through Side One I started to feel loose and relaxed.Tumbling Dice.
From that point on it's a warm bath in a clasy hotel. Slick and coiled. Like a bittle of quality red shared with an old friend. While you crack open a packet of tabs for old times sake. You make allowances for the slightly ridiculous aspects of the Stones fify years down the line. In the end it's best let your critical faculties go and enjoy the ride.
