The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street
Tracing the creation of Exile on Main Street from the original songwriting done while touring America through the final editing in Los Angeles, Bill Janovitz explains how an album recorded by a British band in a villa on the French Riviera is pure American rock & roll. Looking at each song individually, Janovitz unveils the innovative recording techniques, personal struggles, and rock & roll mythmaking that culminated in this pivotal album.

Praise for this book
Lucid. Each volume provides insightful commentary.
"Bill Janovitz's riveting look at Exile on Main Street is a must-read, not just for diehard Stones fans, but for anyone in interested in rock 'n roll, American roots music, the Sixties, and pop culture in the broadest sense. Janovitz combines the perspectives of historian, memoirist, critic, and fan in a concise appreciation of this monumental record; you'll never think about the Rolling Stones in quite the same way again after reading it." -Tom Perrota
Janovitz, by widening and narrowing his lens at will much as the Stones themselves did with the music that inspired them, ultimately delivers a uniquely free-wheeling text that offers readers the equivalent of a fresh set of ears. Harp Magazine
