Who: Keith Richards

What: “Crosseyed Heart”

Where: Recorded at Germano Studios, downtown New York

Why: Given the fact that Keith hasn’t released a solo album in nearly a quarter of a century and that the last Stones album was ten years ago we are prepared to forgive Richards for this bloated opus. Clocking in at just under one hour, we suggest a leaner stripped down 40 minute LP version of the album minus the two uninspired acoustic blues numbers (title track “Crosseyed Heart” and Lead Belly cover “Goodnight Irene”) and the two sleepy filler numbers (Norah Jones collaboration “Illusion” and “Just A Gift”).
