A new photo of 75-year old The Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards shirtless has surfaced. You can view it below via Page Six.
Rolling Stone recently wrote a piece on Richards’ classic solo album Talk is Cheap.
“It’s perfectly fitting that an album this casual would get a 30th Anniversary reissue the year after it turned 30. The deluxe edition includes six bonus tracks that show just how much fun these guys were having at the time, like the funky throwaway ‘Mark on Me’ (in which Richards shouts, ‘That bitch she put the mark on me’ against a hilariously gloppy synth), the humid Neville Brothers-esque instrumental workout ‘Brute Force’ and several blues numbers featuring rollicking piano work by Johnson.
Talk Is Cheap wasn’t meant to signify anything; that was a huge part of its charm. But in its own way it proved prophetic. The year after its release would be a boom year for Sixties-identified artists returning to their bedrock sounds after struggling to pilot the Eighties: Lou Reed with the street-level commentary of New York; Neil Young with the balance of raging noise and acoustic ache of Freedom; and Bonnie Raitt, with the subtle introspect and blues resolve of Nick of Time.”
Richards wrote on Instagram on Wednesday, “Play it Loud guitar exhibition at Met Museum! Check it out. My black Hand painted Les Paul gracing the entrance on a banner!”
