cool shit.bigdieseltrucker wrote:I was but a wee lad when my old man bought me a copy of Exile. I got Tatoo You with a new stereo for Christmas one year. I played it a bunch, and liked it. Then I started getting into his Stones records and taking them into my room. So one Friday Pop came home with my very own copy of Exile and bestowed upon me one of the truly great rock-n-roll records of all time. I think I was 10. Thanks Pop!

I will say Loving Cup, the gutsy Ventalator Blues and Soul Survivor are some of my favorites. Not much for Rip that joint tho.Lawrence Fan wrote:I couldn't tell you the name of one song off that record, although I'm sure I know and have heard songs from it.

Understandable, but think if you had never heard Trace. Or even worse, heard it and thought it sucked.calexico wrote:Just like me.
