Here's a nice preview for ya.....and if you want to geek out a bit more, they're discussing the UK release (which came out earlier this year) here.

oneEye Candy: The Rolling Stones in Exile
Written by: Matt Wardlaw
Hey Stones fans - how about a documentary regarding the recording of Exile on Main Street....you'd be interested, right?
It's your lucky day - Stones in Exile will be out on DVD on June 22nd via Eagle Rock - check out the trailer:
Here are some more details from the press release:
In the spring of 1971 the Rolling Stones reluctantly departed the UK to take up residence in
France. Keith Richards settled at a villa called Nellcôte in Villefranche-sur-Mer and this became
the venue for the recording of much of the band’s masterpiece “Exile On Main Street”. “Stones In
Exile” tells the story in the band’s own words and through extensive archive footage of their time
away from England and the creation of this extraordinary double album, which many regard as the
Rolling Stones’ finest achievement.
Bonus Features
Extensive additional footage including interviews with all the band members, footage from
“Cocksucker Blues” and Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts returning to Olympic Studios and Jagger’s
country house Stargroves where a lot of the early work on the album was done.
And, because you asked nicely - here's the cover art:
Amazon is taking pre-orders for Stones in Exile via this link. And in case you missed it, there is also a deluxe reissue for Exile that will street on May 18th, which means you'll have plenty of Stones/Exile related material to carry you through the next few months.
Sounds good to us!
moreThe King of the Blues and the Pied Piper of Prog-Rock
Written by: Kevin Brennan
Hey there music lovers, it’s time for some video to go with our audio. Today, we’ll look at two recent DVD releases: B.B. King Live at Montreux 1993 and Jethro Tull: Living With The Past.
For those of you whose only reference to B.B. King is his appearance in the U2 film Rattle and Hum, it’s time for some education. King is one of the finest American blues guitarists, living or dead, whose distinctive soloing and soulful vocals influenced such rock legends as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck in addition to anyone who has ever played the blues. His Grammy award-winning version of Rick Darnell and Roy Hawkins’ “The Thrill Is Gone” cemented his place as a star and a true crossover artist in the late sixties.
He reached out to rock audiences for the first of several times as the opening act for the Rolling Stones 1969 U.S. tour. His list of later collaborators is long and features Bobby “Blue” Bland, Albert King, Albert Collins, Robert Cray, Katie Webster, Gary Moore, Clapton and many others.
