Are you a regular contributor to that site, PS? How do I get a piece of the action?
Nice review. Lead-in is quite lengthy since it's all been written so many times before. Saying Keith was "off-and-on involved" with the making of Exile is a startling assertion, notwithstanding his lengthy absences. Fact is, when he left the cellar, the proceedings were put on hold.
I'm surprised you didn't acknowledge the 2010 lead vocals all over the place on on the bonus tracks, and drank the kool-aid about new contributions from Taylor. Personally, I don't believe it.
Not to be pedantic, but Angie was a #1 single in the US between Brown Sugar and Miss You.
Well it's a Canadian entertainment magazine site so if you live outside Canada, you're out of luck to write for it, but free to read. I was writing with the thought that many readers might not know the circumstances behind Exile's making. Just writing as if the audience isn't totally familiar with Exile. When I said "off and on involved" I meant that for stretches he could be gone and absent but not out of the loop. I never said he was a minor contributor, far from it. As you said, things stopped when he left. He was the key cog as this was before Mick took over the creative lion's share. I only went with Taylor stuff because it's been rumoured and I did mention overdubs, just didn't go in depth about all of Mick's overdubs. I think the editor took out how I mentioned new leads from Mick but you still get the line I wrote about how his voice is older now but he's still a fabulous frontman, just not the same as in 1971. You're right about "Angie." I thought that one was only #1 in the UK for some reason. My bad.
