The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St.

Los Stones encumbrados en lo más alto y atravesando por una de sus etapas de mayor profusión creativa publican este magistral trabajo, una jubilosa amalgama de rock, country (profundizando en este estilo gracias a la amistad de Keith Richards con Gram Parsons), blues y gospel, que proporciona sublimes instantáneas sónicas apoyadas por la descarnada producción de Jimmy Miller y que, como suele pasar con muchos discos trascendentes, se aborrecen en la primera escucha y se aman al límite en sucesivas escuchas, convirtiéndose en el favorito del grupo y en el más influyente de su carrera. Vibrantes, densas y desaseadas piezas de rock’n’roll enraizadas en los sonidos tradicionales americanos como la soberbia Rocks off", "Rip this joint", el single "Tumbling dice", "Sweet Virginia" (memorable armónica de Jagger y colaboración no acreditada del mismísimo Parsons), la acústica "Sweet Black Angel" (con el productor Jimmy Miller a la percusión), una retozona pieza cantada por Keith Richards llamada "Happy", la extraordinaria balada "Let it loose" (con un notable acompañamiento vocal), "Ventilator blues", "All down the line", el regusto blues de "Stop breaking down" o la espléndida "Shine a light", dejan constancia de la gran versatilidad y estatura como compositores y músicos de los Rolling Stones, destacando el memorable duelo guitarrero entre Keith Richards y Mick Taylor. El quinteto se encuentra acompañado por nombres esenciales en sus formas sonoras como sus habituales Ian Stewart, Nicky Hopkins, Bobby Keyes, Billy Preston o Jim Price, quienes en jubilosa sinergia con los protagonistas principales crean una imperecedera e imprescindible obra maestra, uno de las cúspides de la historia del rock.

Greeted with decidedly mixed reviews upon its original release, Exile on Main St. has become generally regarded as the Rolling Stones' finest album. Part of the reason why the record was initially greeted with hesitant reviews is that it takes a while to assimilate. A sprawling, weary double album encompassing rock & roll, blues, soul, and country, Exile doesn't try anything new on the surface, but the substance is new. Taking the bleakness that underpinned Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers to an extreme, Exile is a weary record, and not just lyrically. Jagger's vocals are buried in the mix, and the music is a series of dark, dense jams, with Keith Richards and Mick Taylor spinning off incredible riffs and solos. And the songs continue the breakthroughs of their three previous albums. No longer does their country sound forced or kitschy -- it's lived-in and complex, just like the group's forays into soul and gospel. While the songs, including the masterpieces "Rocks Off," "Tumbling Dice," "Torn and Frayed," "Happy," "Let It Loose," and "Shine a Light," are all terrific, they blend together, with only certain lyrics and guitar lines emerging from the murk. It's the kind of record that's gripping on the very first listen, but each subsequent listen reveals something new. Few other albums, let alone double albums, have been so rich and masterful as Exile on Main St., and it stands not only as one of the Stones' best records, but sets a remarkably high standard for all of hard rock.
