The Huey Show
Sunday 16 May
2.00-4.00pm BBC 6 MUSIC
One of the most seminal rock 'n' roll albums of all time, The Rolling Stones's Exile On Main Street, gets a reissue this year accompanied by 10 unearthed tracks. In the biggest interview of his radio career, Huey Morgan hangs out with his hero, one of the most famous men in rock, Mick Jagger.
Huey quizzes Mick about the making of the album which, in his eyes, defined them as a band. What was that long hot summer of 1971 like, living in tax exile in the South of France, recording in Keith Richard's infamous rented mansion, Villa Nellcote? From Rip This Joint to Tumbling Dice, Torn And Frayed and All Down The Line – how did the songs come about and how were they recorded in that sweltering basement, once a former residence of the Nazis?
Mick has been occasionally dismissive of the album which had a lukewarm reception when it came out, but has gone on to be hailed as a masterpiece. How does he feel about it now? As well as picking apart the record Huey finds out about the new cuts and talks about Stones In Exile, a new documentary to be aired on the BBC about the making of the record. He also asks about upcoming plans for the band – when will they be back out on the road?
Rolling Stones fans can also hear BBC Radio 2's documentary on the making of Exile On Main Street, Exile Of The Stones, on Radio 2 on Wednesday 19 May at 10pm.
