Mein Kampf...by Keef
Keith Richards has been speaking to UK radio Xfm about the making of The Stones’ legendary album, Exile On Main Street.
Keef told Xfm’s Ian Camfield about the sweaty conditions in Nellcote, a French mansion which he’d hired to record the album.
“It was hard work down there”, said the legendary six-stringer. “It was the height of the summer in the south of France and it did get pretty sticky...it had a dust floor. It was kind of Hitleresque”.
Not sure quite what he means by that...

Exile on Main Street was something of a misunderstood album with the exception of Tumbling Dice, it did'nt spawn too many songs that were commercial. It was among those four great studio albums the Stones released in the seventies. My previous Stones favourite was Sticky Fingers but, opinions change and l think Exile....is the best of those four albums that included; Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed and Sticky Fingers.
Musically, it is true to their roots, the blues, than any of the above mentioned albums. Not since the debut Stones album did they produce a more bluesier effort. It is the one Stones album l continually listen to because who plays dirty white blues better, other than Johnny Winter ?
