Thank you to my source.
In conjunction with the release of his autobiography, Keith Richards anthologizes
the meager solo output of his band The X-Pensive Winos: two studio CDs he released
in 1988 and 1992, and sandwiched between them a live date at the Hollywood Palladium
from December of 1988 that he put out as a CD in 1991. A handful of tracks are featured
from each disc, and they're respectable choices. Richards' most popular work as a solo
performer appeared on "Talk Is Cheap," the first album, which relied on his legendary
guitar and patented rasp of a voice. The big single, "Take It So Hard," reached number
three on the charts. This and the other four songs that kick off "Vintage Vinos" are very
Stones-like on the whole, except for the last cut. It's an exquisite Memphis Soul ballad
called "Make No Mistake," propelled by a tight horn section. Keith's gravelly growl suits
this material, both the raucous rock workouts and the ballad. The band, with Steve Jordan
on drums, Ivan Neville on keyboards, and Waddy Wachtel on guitars, is top-notch.
