Keith Richards releases his eagerly anticipated 'Crosseyed Heart', his third solo album and his first in over 20 years. 'Crosseyed Heart', a fifteen track masterclass encompassing everything that makes Keith Richards one of the 20th century's most celebrated talents, is a 5* musical journey that takes in reggae, rock, country and the blues. Lead by the explosive first single, 'Trouble,' a taut guitar based slice of heaven featuring Richards on electric and acoustic guitars, bass, lead and backup vocals. He is richly supported by old friends, drummer Steve Jordan, guitarist Waddy Wachtel and Bernard Fowler on backup vocals. The song was written by and produced by Keith and Steve Jordan. Richards collaborates with several artists including a captivating duet with Norah Jones on the soulful ballad 'Illusion' which she co-wrote. Keith Richards, who plays electric and acoustic guitars, bass, piano and vocals on the album, is also joined by guitarist Waddy Wachtel, keyboardist Ivan Neville and background singer Sarah Dash, part of the X-Pensive Winos, who accompanied Richards on his previous solo records.
