Exile in Guyville is American musician Liz Phair's first and most critically acclaimed record. Considered to be a song by song response to the Rollings Stones' 1972 album Exile on Main Street, Exile in Guyville is a bold, unpolished and often amusing pre-Sex in the City take on the life of a single woman in America, trying her hardest to battle and understand the internal conflict of failed relationships, love, sexual frustration and satisfaction.
