Keith richards sarah dash1/21/2024 ![]() We talk, but I haven’t actually seen them. I haven’t seen any of the boys since last year. We kind of got hung up because of the usual, 2020. I think we have about half an album done. “Over the years, we’ve figured out how to put our stuff together in different ways. Having to work at a distance up until they threw us out of England,” he said. “We kind of got used to that ever since the exile. and Jagger is in Europe, they’ve been in touch and have even traded song lyrics for the new Stones album. In the Stones, I can move back and forth, hide behind Charlie or stick my nose up. “It’s a relentless thing being the frontman. Although, doing the whole show like that, yeah, that’s what I appreciated (about) Mick’s job,” he said. I wasn’t totally foreign to the idea of it. “With the Stones, I do a couple of songs anyway, so my appetite was kind of wetted that way. ![]() Richards admits being a bandleader allowed him to fully understand what it was like to wear Jagger’s shoes: “I learned so much about what Mick’s job is – about being the frontman. But at the same time, we did need a break from each other and as it turned out, it was a great help to us both.” “It’s understandable, especially in retrospect, after those many years, Mick and I and the whole band (thinking), ‘Is the whole world just the Rolling Stones?’ I suppose it was that kind of feeling. Let’s put it that way,” Richards said, laughing. ![]() “The Winos came together because of the Stones around ’86 said, there was a definite hiatus. The tour came at an uncertain time for the Rolling Stones – some thought the group might break up. He’s backed by The X-Pensive Winos, a group of all-star players and good friends, including drummer Steve Jordan, guitarist Waddy Wachtel, bassist Charley Drayton, keyboard player Ivan Neville, singer Sarah Dash and the late Bobby Keys, who played saxophone during the shows. “Live at the Hollywood Palladium” will be available on CD, vinyl and digitally, and the show was in support of “Talk Is Cheap,” his first solo album also released in 1988. In the meantime, Richards does have something to give his die-hard fans that involves live music: On Friday, he’s releasing a limited edition box set of his 1988 concert at the Hollywood Palladium recorded during his first solo tour. It’s like, ‘Come on, where’s our show, brother?’ It’s kind of a little weird, but at the same time, we’ve all got greater things to deal with at the moment.” I guess after all these years, it’s in our calling, the body and everything. “I guess I can take a year off but it’s in the bones. While some performers in their 70s, including Stevie Nicks and Bruce Springsteen, fear the pandemic is preventing them from hitting the road during their key years, Richards isn’t too concerned: “I can’t say I feel like a year has been stolen. I got into a more probably normal way of life, which is un-normal.” I spent the whole summer actually admiring the garden and also doing a bit of gardening myself watering the veggies and the stuff. “Usually I come, it’s spring and suddenly it’s fall when I get back. “I saw the garden grow, really quite unbelievable,” Richards said. He, Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts wrapped part of their No Filter Tour in August 2019, and they had plans to hit the road again in May 2020, but things changed after the coronavirus outbreak. ![]() The unbothered 76-year-old rocker has been home for a full year now – a first for Richards, he said. Why would I want a (cell)phone? You crazy?” “I’m not at all hooked in any high-tech internets,” he said. He’s one of the few people who hasn’t downloaded Zoom during the pandemic.
