Huey Morgan hangs out with his hero, one of the most famous men in rock, Mick Jagger. Huey quizzes him about the soon-to-be reissued Rolling Stones album Exile on Main Street.

One of the most seminal Rock & Roll albums of all time, The Rolling Stones Exile On Main Street, gets a re-issue this year accompanied by 10 unearthed tracks. In the biggest interview of his radio career Huey Morgan hangs out with his hero, and one of the most famous men in rock, Mick Jagger. 

Huey quizzes Mick Jagger about the making of the album which, in his eyes, defined them as a band. What was that long hot summer of 1971 like, living in tax exile in the South of France, recording in Keith Richard's infamous rented mansion - Villa Nellcote? From 'Rip This Joint' to 'Tumbling Dice', 'Torn and Frayed' and 'All Down The Line' - how did the songs come about and how were they recorded in that sweltering basement, once a former residence of the Nazis? Mick has been occasionally dismissive of the album which had a luke-warm reception when it came out but has gone on to be hailed as a masterpiece. How does he feel about it now? 

As well as picking apart the record Huey finds out about the new cuts and talks about Stones In Exile the new documentary about the making of the record, and asks about upcoming plans for the band - when will they be back out on the road?
