JEFFREY ST. CLAIR

Boozoo Chavis and the Magic Sounds: Who Stole My Monkey? (Rounder)

X-rated zydeco from the roadhouses near Bayou Teche, performed by one of the legends of the accordian and backed by a band that lays down the kind of raunchy grooves the Stones were aiming for in Exile on Main Street but never quite achieved.

CounterPunch's Favorite Albums
---
Phyllis Pollack is a music publicist and writer in LA.

I omitted any hiphop, so as to avoid any possible conflict of interests. Secondly, the thing that's so weird about these lists is that arguably, some of the discs I picked are among the best albums ever released, and others I picked are more likely to start some arguments here. My list probably changes week to week anyway, minus some staple exceptions that will always be a permanent fixtures, like Exile. That one's not going anywhere.

1. Rolling Stones--Exile On Mainstreet (1972)

2. Bob Dylan--Highway 61 Revisited (1965)

3. Chuck Berry--Chuck Berry Is On Top (1957)

4. David Bowie--Ziggy Stardust (1972)

5. Allman Brothers---Eat A Peach (1972)

The Making of The Rolling Stones' Exile On Main Street

By Phyllis Pollack

Photographer Dominique Tarlé has documented the recording of the masterpiece album by the Rolling Stones, Exile On Main Street, thirty years after its release. The result, The Making Of Exile On Main Street, is a leather bound book, published by Genesis Publications, lushly filled with up close and personal shots of the Stones in various states of consciousness. While serving as a showcase for Tarlé's photos, the tome is also dense in text, featuring interviews with many of those who were present, including members of the band and some of those who worked for them during that period. The book also includes reprints of the lengthy 1971 Rolling Stone interview with Stones guitarist Keith Richards, written by Robert Greenfield, author of the book, Stones Touring Party: Through America With the Rolling Stones, about the group's 1972 S.T.P. tour.
