The Rolling Stones
When discussing The Rolling Stones' iconic double album Exile on Main Street., one track that frequently garners attention for its gritty, down-home blues feel is "Ventilator Blues." This song, tucked away in the album's second half, stands out as a collaborative gem and a testament to Mick Taylor's invaluable contributions during his tenure with the band.
"Ventilator Blues" is one of the rare Rolling Stones songs credited to Mick Taylor alongside Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Recorded in the basement of Keith Richards' villa, Nellcôte, in the south of France during the band’s tax exile period, the song emerged from a jam session. Taylor's musical instincts and technical prowess played a vital role in shaping its sound.
