I 00 only brutal, they were subtle; they were not only visceral, thpv wera intellectual. Songs At Cecilwood STARTING TONIGHT i-nai! i idling like "Moonlight Mile," "Wild sses Their Greatest By JERRY OSTER Although I'm surrounded by shattered expectations after listening to The Rolling Stones' new album, "Exile on Main Street," I suppose I'm glad I'm unhappy. For however much is missing, this two-record set is still representative of a surpassing talent. The Stones, as they will surely be introduced when they play Madison Square Garden July 24-26 are still "the world's Horses" and "Play with Fire" will, I think, be among the most enduring in the rock canon because they are much more than rock songs they are beautiful and lyrical and magical. "Torn and Frayed," "Black Angel" and "Loving Cup" save the album for me because they embody this sort of genius.

The last, especially, with its introductory procession of Nicky Hopkins' piano, Jagger's vocal, Richard's guitar and Watts' drums, is a song to save your very soul. "Exile on Main Street" comes packaged in an elaborate, disorderly jacket that, among other things, provides you with 12 picture postcards of The Stones and some friends. I'm going to use three of the cards right away. One will go to Atlantic Records, asking that they include word sheets with future albums (Jagger is demanding vocalist); one will go to The Stones, asking them to do better next time; one will go to Keitfo Richard, asking him if his surname is Richard, or is it Richards I looked at six Stones' albums I had handy and sometimes it is Richard and greatest rock roll band. On two songs "Tumbling Dice" and "Happy" all the energy and dynamism on which this greatness is founded comes through overpoweringly.

It is music that, in a time when -y v. I i i I fv, 4 i it. Sponsored by a (72 dancing is dead, not only can be danced to, but must be. The other rocking songs, however, fall short of The Stones' own standard, lacking the control -they have always exercised over their most musically violent material. The blame, I think, rests Joan Lowell opens tonight at the Cecilwood Summer Theater in Fishkill, N.Y, in "See How They Run," through Sunday.

I I rfrn on Mick Jagger and Keith Richard, the creative Stones. Drummer Charlie Watts and bassist Bill Wyman are technically precise musicians, but it has always been Jagger's voice and Richard's guitar (helped first by the late Brian.

Jones and now by Mick Taylor) that have broken the structural monotony of the rhythm section and made The Stones' material live.

There is a certain arrogance in putting forth 18 new songs as though one were just so terribly prolific; in this case, it amounts to profligacy. I'd take eight of the songs Dice," "Sweet Virginia," "Torn and Fraved," "Black Angel," "Loving Cup," "Happv," "Let it Loose" and "Shine a Light" and make a single disk album out of them. The rest could serve as hairspray or risbees. What bothers me most about "Exile on Main Street" is that The Stones have always been more than just the greatest rock band.
