Summarily panned by critics when it was released, Exile is now universally hailed as the best double-set rock has produced, a soulful epic of murky obsessions that took a dirt-road and deep-mud trip through gospel, blues, Stax/Volt R&B and country. Highlights: "Tumbling Dice," "Rocks Off," "Sweet Virginia" and "All Down The Line."
