The Rolling Stones, 'Exile on Main Street' Reissue -- New Album

'Exile on Main Street,' the 1972 double-album masterpiece from The Rolling Stones, receives the deluxe reissue treatment on May 18, adding 10 previously unreleased songs from the album's original recording sessions.

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards worked with producer Don Was to add new vocals and guitar parts to some of the unfinished songs, including the current single 'Plundered My Soul.' The album will be available in four versions: the original 18-track set as a CD, a deluxe version including the 10 bonus tracks, an iTunes exclusive version including new videos and photos, and the super deluxe package including vinyl, the new documentary DVD and a collector's book.

The album was originally recorded under chaotic circumstances, to say the least. The Stones had just been forced to leave their home country of England due to tax problems, so guitarist Richards set up both recording and living quarters at the Nellcôte villa, a former Nazi headquarters in the south of France. Problem is, the drug problems of various band members were in full bloom, and the house quickly became overrun with all-hours parties. This reportedly alienated the more sober bandmates and caused the album to be recorded in fits and starts, with varying musician lineups participating on different songs.

When it was first released in '72, critics had mixed, often lukewarm views on the album's merits, but over time 'Exile''s muddy, ragged blend of soul, country and R&B influences has come to be regarded, miraculously, as perhaps their most cohesive and influential statement ever. Songs like 'Tumbling Dice' and Keith's vocal showcase 'Happy' have become Stones concert favorites, and jam-rockers Phish covered the entire album live for their annual Halloween concert last year. To commemorate the album's reissue, artists such as Green Day, Sheryl Crow, and Keith Urban appeared on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' last week to play their versions of 'Exile' songs.

You can hear previously unreleased tracks from 'Exile on Main Street' and many other Rolling Stones classics on Satisfaction radio.
