Exile on Main Street is not only one of Rock's greatest albums, it has a little interesting history behind it. After battling their drug busts, jail, court , and the media hounding them and shit, they got the 17 out of England and headed to the south of France where they could chill out, not be paranoid and hounded by the media and simply clear their heads where they could put together the double album. One of my all time favorites is Loving Cup. There's some real cool you tube clips of them putting the songs together while down there.

Here's a Loving Cup clip that has poor audio & video but I think it's pretty cool cuz it shows 'em having a good time and you can kinda see from their expressions that they know they're putting together some really good shit. lyrics provided. well written song in my opinion.


I'm the man on the mountain, come on up.
I'm the plowman in the valley with a face full of mud.
Yes, I'm fumbling and I know my car don't start.
Yes, I'm stumbling and I know I play a bad guitar.
Give me little drink from your loving cup.
Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.
I'm the man who walks the hillside in the sweet summer sun.
I'm the man that brings you roses when you ain't got none.
Well I can run and jump and fish, but I won't fight
You if you want to push and pull with me all night.
Give me little drink from you loving cup.
Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.
I feel so humble with you tonight,
Just sitting in front of the fire.
See your face dancing in the flame,
Feel your mouth kissing me again,
What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz,
What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.
Oh, what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.
Yes, I am nitty gritty and my shirt's all torn,
But I would love to spill the beans with you till dawn.
Give me little drink from your loving cup.
Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.
