Exile in Guyville is the debut studio album by Liz Phair, released in 1993. It was a surprising critical success, and it garnered the singer-songwriter mainstream attention.The album cover features Liz topless in a photo booth. Its lyrical themes mainly revolve around the sexual and intellectual independence of women, a direct contrast to the frequently sexist attitudes Liz faced while growing up. It's also a Concept Album of sorts, where each song is supposed to be an Answer Song to The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St. (Liz has acknowledged that not all of the parallels may make sense to other people, but has said she was consciously thinking of the Stones album when writing the songs and constructing the album; she's also given interviews such as this one in which she's elaborated more on some of the parallels.)Compositionally, Liz's voice is intentionally overshadowed by the surrounding music, giving a more full and production-heavy sound. It wasn't a huge commercial success, but remains a widely influential album since it helped shatter the Double Standard against women singing sexual songs. | |

| Exile in Guyville (Music) / int_118bba4 | comment |
Non-Indicative Title: "Flower", which is not actually about flowers at all: The title is possibly an Unusual Euphemism for a woman's genitalia... except it's not even that unusual. For instance, the common interpretation of Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings of flowers is that they're not really just paintings of flowers, even though O'Keeffe herself denied this interpretation. | |

Face on the Cover: The album cover depicts a photo of a topless Phair striking a defiant pose; some releases crop the photo to remove most of her chest from view. | |

As the Good Book Says... | |
| Exile in Guyville (Music) / int_2439b588 | comment |
As the Good Book Says...: "Dance of the Seven Veils" is based on the story of Salome and John the Baptist in the New Testament. The name of the song itself originated in Oscar Wilde's play Salome and draws on a long literary tradition of portraying the titular female character as an incarnation of female lust. | |

Gossip Evolution | |
| Exile in Guyville (Music) / int_2d047747 | comment |
Gossip Evolution: "Never Said" is Liz denying having spoken something the other person in the conversation heard, which was possibly subject to this ("I don't know where you heard it\ Don't know who's spreadin' it 'round"). She said the inspiration was how the Chicago music scene was very catty and upset about whatever was being spread about their bands. | |

Three Chords and the Truth: "Glory", "Dance of the Seven Veils", and "Gunshy" all have only guitar backings. The production on the other songs still tends to be rather minimalist, though much less so than that of her earlier Girlysound recordings. | |
