Keith Richards, Solo

Any fans?
I put on Crosseyed Heart this evening for the first time in ages. Main Offender was here from shortly after release too.

With no financial worries, he just put together what he liked, or so it seems. I like them a great deal anyway.
Talk Is Cheap is a bit more corny, but that was recorded almost half a lifetime ago.

76 and counting, here's hoping for one or two more, at least.

X-pensive Winos, something entirely different, but also the love-child of people with no need to worry about £££.

 
Also got a weird double called 'Stone Alone' which feels a bit bootlegy and is mainly live

There is an official 'Stone Alone' but it's a Bill Wyman solo and a single album.

If the KR one is the one I'm thinking of on Swingin' Pig Records, it's definitely a booty and is of an X-Pensive Winos gig in LA from '88 (the period he left the Stones). Probably lifted from an FM recording

Edit - there is another one but of Demos - https://www.staticandfeedback.com/Music/1003keef.html
 
saw a documentary on him last year, probably one of many, anyway he came over as a great personal, approachable guy, very humble, he was talking about his arthritis, all his knuckles are very swollen, finds it hard sometimes to play, just look at the cover above, top bloke,
 
Big fan here! Love those two solo albums although it felt that although Keith was fronting it that it was a real band. Drummer/Producer Steve Jordan also must have had some input. One of the very gigs I ever saw was this band on the Main Offender UK tour at the Town and Country (what became, The Forum) in Kentish Town, London.
