Yeah I hate every single Rolling Stones song that's not dancing on the edge between "hard rock" and "heavy metal"
Ballads....whew - what emotional baloney

>>Other than that. Think it holds itself well on the record if taken as an 'Old & New' kinda compilation<<
I for one would love to hear the original fragments that were recorded in '71.
Keith gets credited for playing acoustic and electric guitar! where is he ? he's not in the mix at all.
I can imagine absolutely everything was re-recorded in 2009 - only the basic idea was taken to '09.
it only makes them the glimmer twins when they actually work together.

Exile is an unusual album because even though it was a two-record set album,it has no ballads (and certainly no violins). That just makes "Following the River" sound even more out of place on the Deluxe version.

I raised this when someone first posted an overwrought paean to the video: what does the video have to do with the song?
A key factor is EXILE ON MAIN STREET. Both of them are different extensions of its theme. What Jagger sings about does not have any relavance to the video content (even though the feeling or the sentiments of the music goes well with the pictures). We need to know the common factor - EXILE - beforehand to see the connection. It is incredibly controversial and ambitious attempt in today's standards. No "easy" indications are offered. This is a kind of thing I have missed for a long time. This video could have done for a Dylan song very easily and it had been a logical move and no further questions would not have been asked. But with The Stones.. "what a hell?". The Stones showed same kind of maturity and artistic purity without any cheap pop compromises or tricks as they did with EXILE. Most of all, they didn't underestimate their fans.
(A typical, MTV-era video would have been a kind of "Out of Tears" - one can easily make a manuscript for such a turkey - the Stones have done so many of them based on their philmographic essence.)

sorry dude, I was talking about the album as a whole, with a combination of old tracks, new tracks and some tracks caught in the middle somewhere like the twilight zone....

but as open g said and the more i think about it.
following the rivers really sounds like a complete new recording.
