	Exile in Guyville - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Exile in Guyville is American singer-songwriter Liz Phair's 1993 debut album.
		Phair commented in interviews that the album was a song-by-song reply to the Rolling Stones' 1972 album Exile on Main Street.
		Most critics do not accept her statements at face value, although the album can be seen at least at a general level as a response to the Rolling Stones.

	Courtney Love & Liz Phair
		Although her 1993 debut album, Exile In Guyville, relied on classic Keith Richards rhythms and standard, alternative rock low-fi production, Phair's iconoclastic songs about sex, gender roles, and growing up female were groundbreaking.
		On Exile her free usage of the word "fuck" and references to herself as "cunt" and "blow-job queen" grabbed lots of attention, but such language is not likely to win favor with the "unhip" masses.
		Extending the themes of Exile and rooting them in a 14-song narrative evoking the passage from childhood innocence to wary young adulthood, Phair nails down another tough true-to-life portrait of the predatory and conflicted impulses driving contemporary relationships.

	WOMAN IN ROCK... WHATEVER
		Her first album, Exile in Guyville, was well received both critically and commercially - although nowhere near the likes of Lilith's headliners.
		Exile in Guyville paved the way for Phair's second release, Whipsmart, which also places a strong focus on the maturity of the girl-rock movement.
		Exile in Guyville was more critically than commercially successful because the album received little radio airplay.

		It was pointed out that Liz Phair's first album, Exile in Guyville is a song by song response to the Rolling Stones' album Exile on Mainstreet, and was supposed to give the female perspective.
		To come up with the structure of EIG, Liz basically handpicked an album she hadn't heard of before and chose which of her songs which would be "responses" to the songs on her album.
		This is not to say that Liz didn't write a lot of those songs in response to cerain situations she was in and the current mindset of the indie scene sh was a part of, responding to th mal POV in that way, cuz she did.

	[No title]
		And to me the whole (Rolling Stone's) Exile On Main Street cover having the freakshow on the front, and then having the band members on the back was really discussing the nature of performance and about where they were in their lives right then, having stumbled into fame and finding it.
		Exile in Guyville topped the Village Voice's 1993 rock critic's poll and was named album of the year by Spin magazine, while Liz was hailed by the editor of Billboard as "(leading) alternative rock's postpunk 90s naturalism to a captivating new pinnacle".
		Guyville was not a positive experience for me. "This was supposedly my greatest work and everyone now sort of uses it almost against me as when I was really good.

	The Great Albums: Exile in Guyville (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Then 26 and living in the hipster haven of Wicker Park (the testosterone-fueled "Guyville" of her album title), Phair was on the verge of being overexposed before the album was even released.
		In countless interviews, Phair claimed that "Exile in Guyville" was designed as a song-by-song "answer" or "response" to the Rolling Stones' decadent 1972 epic, "Exile on Main Street." Nine years later, I'm still not sure whether or not I believe her.
		"Exile in Guyville" opened the door for a wave of imitators, from Alanis Morrissette to Meredith Brooks to Fiona Apple (many of whom outsold her), and Phair graduated from Matador to Capitol Records.

		Liz Phair, though she has continued to grow as a writer and a musician over the past decade, would still have a place in rock history were she to have quit the biz after the release of her bombshell first album, Exile In Guyville.
		Exile was a revelation, a 18-track opus that sounds like it was recorded where it was largely written, in the upstairs bedroom of a teenage girl in suburban Chicago.

	Exile gone mainstream - Salon
		That is, the old Liz Phair -- the one whose screwy guitar chords, lo-fi sound and fuck-you (or, rather, fuck-me) lyrics made her 1993 debut "Exile in Guyville" a veritable alt-rock blockbuster that sold more than 200,000 copies.
		Where "Guyville" had Phair angrily declaring, "I wanna be mesmerizing too!" over hand claps and guitars, "Whitechocolatespaceegg" had her feeling "the sun on my back" and smelling "the earth in my skin" over a backing band -- keyboards and all.
		Her marriage, subsequent divorce and newfound single-mom status, she says, have all made her tougher: "Going through what I went through was really difficult, and coming out on the other end OK made me feel pretty powerful as a person," says Phair, now 36.

		If Exile in Guyville is shockingly assured and fully formed for a debut album, there are a number of reasons why.
		Most prominent of these is that many of the songs were initially essayed on Liz Phair's homemade cassette Girlysound, which means that the songs are essentially cream of the crop from an exceptionally talented songwriter.

	"Liz Phair" vs. Exile in Guyville etc. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Guyville is a great album, no doubt, and her wordplay on it is wonderful and guileless.
		Guyville, by any big-picture standard, is largely just a pop/rock record; it wasn't a glossy one, and it felt no-question "indie" at the time, but it did mostly sound normal and nice, and the single "Never Said" doesn't sound particularly stylistically different from a lower-budget Sheryl Crow track.
		oh, nitsuh i absolutely loved guyville and have all her other stuff but based on what i'd read was not interested in checking this out.

	WZBC longs for the Guyville days of Phair - Arts & Review
		Exile in Guyville, wasn't just one of the best albums of the '90s; it was an indie rock feminist manifesto.
		This could have been a disaster - she was a 25-year-old solo artist inviting people to compare her debut album to one of the greatest rock records of all time - but Phair pulled it off.
		Guyville seized the pent up emotion and vulnerability that typified Main Street, and funneled it into a bleak look at sex in the '90s.

	New York Press (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Liz Phair, the rocker who first gained acclaim with her 1993 album Exile In Guyville has recently come under attack as a sell-out.
		Much criticized for working with The Matrix, the record engineers who write and produce music for teen pop singer Avril Lavigne, Phair has said that her decision to go more commercial on her self-titled album Liz Phair was partly motivated by her financial concerns as a single mother.
		Birner: Socially, Exile On Main Street is fairly innocuous…or at least the drug references are shrouded in metaphors.

	Liz Phair's new album continues sexual assertiveness
		Ostensibly a sharp reply to the Rolling Stones' masterwork Exile on Main Street (1972), Guyville's 18 tracks proudly displayed Phair's unabashed sexual and emotional openness with the male subjects of her songs.
		On Exile in Guyville, Phair tied her songs to the challenge of life and love in a male-dominated (sexual and musical) world.
		The album carries over many of the same ideas that permeated the concept of her debut, but is often subdued by its reluctance to take on another lofty concept, to directly confront the problematic male-female relationship.

		With EXILE IN GUYVILLE, Liz Phair became the latest and by far the most foul-mouthed addition to the line.

		However, it was her biting lyrics that drew the most attention, making EXILE IN GUYVILLE one of the most critically acclaimed albums of 1993.

	Daily Vault - March 27, 1997
		Phair was one of the leading figures of the "grrrl" movement - women who had been dumped on by men and weren't about to take any more shit - in fact, they were going to dish it out double-time, thank you very much.
		Phair is more of a rhythm guitarist than a lead player, though her own unique style of playing seems to incorporate a shade of lead playing throughout the songs.
		Exile In Guyville is an album that you cannot fully grasp on just one compulsory listen.

	Liz Phair Interview: Well Rounded Entertainment
		When Exile in Guyville came out, immediately everyone was talking about the sexually frank lyrics and the overall brash tone of the album.
		The people who had known me my whole life were really shocked, because they didn't know about this post-collegiate stint that I was doing downtown, trying to be like, "rock girl." And that was probably the biggest shock to people who had known me through school and stuff.
		So in both respects, I think Exile pushed forward a lot of myself that I wouldn't have brought into the light and this is more of an opening up and letting you look in.

		By the summer of 1992, Matador had signed Phair and she began recording her debut album in earnest.
		Many articles focused on Phair's claim that the double album was structured as a response to the Rolling Stones' classic Exile on Main St. Over the course of the year, the record slowly built a dedicated following in America, both among critics and alternative rock fans.
		With all the attention focused on Phair, many indie rock figures -- particularly members of the Chicago noise rock scene such as Steve Albini -- were developing a resentment toward her and launching an attack at the singer and the heavy media attention Exile in Guyville received.

		Okay, first things first: Despite all the furor that would have you believe that Liz Phair is a disaster on a par with, oh, Lauryn Hill Unplugged, Phair has already had her gargantuan disappointment.
		It was called Whip-Smart, and her fans gave her a pass for it because, like her debut masterpiece, Exile in Guyville, that sophomore slump was recorded for indie Matador and fit into the same aesthetic template.
		Exile in Guyville itself was a love/hate letter to indie rock, and there was no reason to expect that Phair would still be trying to please that crowd in her mid-30s.

	Liz Phair - Details article
		Liz Phair will play some dates on this summer's Lilith Fair tour, but unlike Natalie and Sarah, she won't be baring her soul or communing with her inner unicorn.
		Ever since Phair named her 1993 indie-rock masterpiece Exile in Guyville as a goof on the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street, she's made a career out of writing deconstructed pop songs with lyrics that would make most pickup artists blush.
		Her third album, Whitechocolatespaceegg, has a few homemade new-wave songs and vestigial ties to lo-fi rock, but it's sincere as well as sarcastic, mostly because Phair isn't an alt-rock club kid anymore - she's a wife and young mother.
