A rare and beautiful glimpse into Izzy Stradlin’s creative sanctuary. When drummer Taz Bentley shared this photo back in 2015 with the caption 'Izzy's office', he gave us a ticket into the quiet world of rock’s most low-profile genius. ✨

Re-Animator…I went to my studio Sunday and couldn’t stop shivering otherwise I would have painted the guitar strings. By Monday I was full on sick took my temperature which was 103 so Robin broke out the Covid tester and it was a hard positive so I went back to bed and slept 36 hours and now I feel a little better. #zombies #keithrichards #mickjagger #reanimator #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrLw1fgr3uu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

⚡️Happy Birthday to photographer extraordinaire Dominique Tarlé who took some of the of the most famous photographs in music history, including this one during the legendary Rolling Stones Exile on Main St. recordings in the South of France in 1971. 🇫🇷 You can see Dominique reflected in the mirror in this amazing shot.. 😉 Joyeux anniversaire Dominique! 🎉 @tarledominique Keith Richards reclines on the parquet floor of the luxurious Villa Nellcôte in the South of France during the legendary Exile on Main St. recordings. ✨ Seated with what appears to be his legendary 1953 Fender Telecaster - nicknamed "Micawber" - in his lap, Keith is surrounded by Anita Pallenberg, looking as stylish as ever with her legs slung over an armchair, Gram Parsons, and Parsons' girlfriend at the time, Gretchen Burrell. The guitar was supposedly gifted to him on his 27th birthday about 6 months earlier by Eric Clapton, and it remains one of his very favorite instruments to this day. ❤️ This image is the most iconic and sought-after photograph from that legedary Summer of 1971. The scene perfectly captures the long warm nights spent working out riffs and the endless mix of family and friends that streamed in and out of that estate. ☀️ This photograph is extremely rare and limited - please contact us for more information via email [email protected] or DM us here. Blender Gallery is the the exclusive representative in Australia for Dominique Tarlé's photographs. ✌️❤️🎶 @tarledominique @officialkeef #keithrichards #exileonmainstreet #villanellcote #dominiquetarle #southoffrance #gramparsons #anitapallenberg #therollingstones #rockandroll #musichistory #legendsneverdie #rockroyalty #telecaster #ericclapton #soulsurvivor #sweetvirginia #rocksoff #exile #muse #icon #fashionista #style #seventies #iconic #rockicon #musicphotography #rocknroll #blendergallery https://www.instagram.com/p/CrxcvkmvfIQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Keith Richards - “You Got The Silver” Live

Whenever I read a breathless declaration that something is “the best ever,” my natural reaction is “yeah, I bet not.” However, I concede: The Rolling Stones’ “Exile On Main Street” is a glorious rock n roll mess that lives up to the hype as the Stones’ best album. Recorded through a drug-induced haze in the moldy basement of a decrepit French chateau in the early 1970s, it’s a blurred, shambolic, sprawling two LPs of excess, jams, hooks and energy that is the good kind of exhausting to listen to. You could tighten it up, get the band sober, edit it all down to one LP and make it perfect on paper, but it would kill the magic in the grooves in the process. Jagger has always said he doesn’t like the record because it’s sloppy, but that sense of the train about to go off the rails, of barely restrained musical chaos, is what gives the album its rakish charm. This one unquestionably lives up to the hype.
