It could be a nice album. Since Keith is doing just for the fun of doing it - that is: driven by a muse, not for the sake of 'I need to do an album, and there is a deadline there' - and probably haven't any contract obligations so far, there is a great chance that we might hear something surprisingly good in it. Keith is a lazy bastard, and artistic soul- if there is no inspiration, he prefers to not do anything (and he has the luxury to 'do' that), but if the spark is there... Go ahead, Keith, take all the time you need, and just listen to your own instincts (well, I guess he does anyhow...), I can wait.
I have always had the guts that there is a great album in Keith in there somewhere, and most probably that is not going to be a Rolling Stones album. I hope it is this one!

Might be that he long at last succeeds in making a great solo album - but to do so I think he should consider working with one or maybe more singers. Two or three tracks in a row with just Keith's voice has hitherto shown to be too tough a task, at least for me. But one never knows, maybe he shows to be a Miracle Worker.

bye bye johnny
Steve Marshall has posted an update on the State Of Emergency blog. The track recorded last month was Gregory Isaacs' 'Love Is Overdue', not 'Prisoner Of Loneliness'.
The previous blog entry has also been amended.

Rumble in the jungle
Rumour has it that the first single from Keith Richards’ new solo album will be “Love Is Overdue”, mixed in September by the legendary father of reggae and dub, Mr Lee “Scratch” Perry. It was State of Emergency that helped to bring these two guys together, and at the session in New York, SoE’s Steve Marshall was “Bal’ead At The Controls” alongside Scratch for the ubiquitous dub mix. Crashing echo. Hurricane. Tornado. State of Emergency indefinitely.

I get what you are saying... but it reminds me of the times when TALK IS CHEAP was about to release. Keith's singing tracks were always like rare 'extras' prior that, so the whole idea of having Keith in vocals throughout the album sounded very exciting to my ears. Okay, now there is not any novelty in that and both TALK S CHEAP and MAIN OFFENDER have teachen us what that could be, and I admit it might get a bit monotonic in the long run...

Honestly there's little reason to think that we're going to get anything better from Keith at this point than TIS or MO...and the fact that a cover is the first single ? Dunno...it seems like Keith's "ideas" would be better used in the the Stones context, Mick did manage to somewhat salvage OMS. What's odd is that Mick did say he wanted to record a new album with the Stones, so why "lose" Keith's ideas to a solo LP?

Let's see if this is an album consisting of "Keith's ideas" first
