COMMENTS:
A
nasty
little
jagged
slide
guitar
riff
defines
this
record.
You'd
best
watch
out,
cause
it's
a
slippery
little
thing.
One
misstep,
and
it'll
cut
you
right
to
the
bone.
Fortunately,
Charlie
is
right
there
to
keep
it
under
control
with
a
taut
back
beat
on
the
cymbals
and
a
few
sharp,
dramatic
snaps
on
the
snare.
It's
no
big
fancy
guitar
line,
less
than
a
dozen
notes,
but
for
my
money
it
is
the
best
one
hook
on
the
whole
classic
Exiles
on
Main
Street
album.
Indeed
"Ventilator
Blues"
was
not
considered
a
featured
song.
It's
buried
somewhere
near
the
bottom
of
the
double
album.
Nonetheless,
this
song
kicks
my
ass
much
harder
than
the
more
pop
oriented
"Tumbling
Dice."
Keef
and
Charlie
have
the
song
just
about
on
the
list
before
Mick
ever
even
starts
with
the
actual
tune.
Thankfully,
Mick
sings
a
tune
good
enough
to
develop
the
brutal
precept
of
the
guitar
riff.
It
comes
out
hard,
and
cold.
He
draws
out
the
notes
to
savor
the
ass
kicking
he's
describing.
"When
your...
spiiine
is
crack-ing,
and
your...
hands,
they
shake."
Not
that
it
sounds
much
like
him,
but
this
comes
about
the
closest
to
the
brutal
authority
of
Howlin'
Wolf
of
anything
they
did
after
"Jumpin'
Jack
Flash."
