Today's the day the re release of the Stones classic "Exile on Main Street" comes out. I'm checking out the extra tracks as I type and here's a blow by blow;
'Pass the Wine' - vaguely similar rhythm to War's 'Spill the Wine' but that's where the comparisons ends. Great soulful groove. Gotta play this one for the peoples...
'Plundered My Soul' - The groove here really reminds me of 'Tumbling Dice' but this is a bit slower and (there's that word again) more soulful; kinda R & B style. Already playing this on the station.
'I'm Not Signifying' - Nice, slower struttin', blues boogie number. Starts off with just Mick and some piano and works it's way up into some harp and horns at the very end.
'Following the River' - Slow number in the 'Let it Loose' style groove'
'Dancing in the Light' - Good song. Real deep, huh?
'So Divine' - Interesting melodic guitar line running through it. Reminds me of the Brian Jones stuff.
'Loving Cup'(alternate take) - Slower than the final version. Kinda like a stroll through, before they let it loose, as it were...
'Title 5' - Kinda sounds like surf music. You'd never believe it was the Stones.
Also included are little interview snippets of the band (including Bill Wyman) talking about the record. Altogether good stuff, I'd say. There's about 3 or 4 different versions of this you can buy, including the super deluxe version that comes with a 30 minute DVD that's culled from 3 other kinda hard to find movies. I'm nabbing the bonus tracks with some Napster credits. The DVD, dunno 'bout that one yet. Sounds pretty cool, though... 'Til we groove a-gin...
