Summary:

The Rolling Stones were the "bad boys" of rock and roll, kings of controversy. Coming off a slew of '60s hits, the band was looking for a new identity as it entered the '70s, one that would renew its hard-rocking image. Tax exiles from their native Britain, the group gathered in a chateau in southern France, the temporary home of Keith Richards, to record the seminal two-album set Exile on Main St. It was both a culmination of all the band stood for and a beguiling hint of how rock and roll could be stretched to include everything from acoustic country to tough R&B. For many, it stands as the Stones's single greatest statement. Now, the story of how this album was made is told by the voices of those who were there.
