New reissue of Exile on Main Street

That's interesting Loomisjohnson, although I suspect that if one is inclined to argue genre's they're also not much inclined to treat allmusic as definitive.

I fear Neil may be classified as "classic rock."

alt country/americana's birth? 'the dillards'

From the Stones to the Dillards. Perfect!

Jaybo, can you recommend on the Dillards for an entry disc with good sonics?

Thx,

the bgo two-fer cd of roots and branches/tribute to the american duck......decade waltz....mountain rock

i finally succumbed and bought the new exile reissue. to my ears, it does sound better than the original cd and vinyl releases--more detailed and less murky, without the overly-digital brightness of most such exercises--drums and piano, in particular, are better articulated. the new, bonus material sounds mainly like works-in-progress--no real lost classics--but an interesting listen nonetheless. i just heard that the reissue is top of the charts in the uk, which is either a tribute to its timelessness or a sad commentary on the state of modern rock.
