As I hoped the download version on Qobuz has the real sound. Thank God, because I was worried by the first listen on youtube. It must down sampled to 128kbs? Anyhow, get the CD quality or wait until the disc comes out. But I do love the simple graphics video, at the end the words and dots disappear and we get a full rock and roll picture of Keith! That's cool.

I love this rough sound anyway.

Keith Richards premieres “Trouble”, his first new solo song in 20 years — listen
A first listen of Richards' upcoming solo album, CROSSEYED HEART

Keith Richards will return in September with CROSSEYED HEART, his first solo album in over 20 years. Richards described the LP as “musical journey” that takes in reggae, country, and the blues. The first single, however, is some good ol’ fashioned rock ‘n’ roll, a lively stomper built on the back of Richards’ signature guitar licks. Listen to “Trouble” below.

For CROSSEYED HEART, the long-awaited follow-up to 1992’s Main Offender, The Rolling Stones guitarist enlisted assistance from Norah Jones, members of his band X-Pensive Winos, Steve Jordan, Waddy Wachtel, Bobby Keys, and Ivan Neville, among others. Look for it on record shelves beginning September 18th.

Keith Richards Debuts ‘Trouble,’ First Single From New ‘Crosseyed Heart’ Album


Keith Richards has unveiled “Trouble,” the first single from his upcoming Crosseyed Heart LP. You can listen to the song above.

A stripped-down, uptempo rocker that sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday or 30 years ago, “Trouble” puts Richards’ signature guitar and reedy vocals up front and center, and finds the Rolling Stones guitarist peeling off licks with typically relaxed abandon over a strutting beat. His first solo single in decades, “Trouble” picks up right where Richards left off: at just a little over three minutes, it has no unnecessary parts, and fans will find themselves humming along with the chorus before the song even gets to the bridge.

As previously reported, Crosseyed Heart is due Sept. 18, and reunites Richards with a group of longtime collaborators that includes drummer Steve Jordan and guitarist Waddy Wachtel as well as keyboard player Ivan Neville and veteran Stones backing vocalist Bernard Fowler.

“I had a ball making this new record and working with Steve Jordan and Waddy Wachtel again. There’s nothing like walking into a studio and having absolutely no idea what you’re going to come out with on the other end,” he enthused in a press release. “If you’re looking for ‘Trouble,’ you’ve come to the right place.”

I was listening to the tune on headphones and i really like the groove,the Sounds and the arrangement. So everything is fine for me....

Played the long version over and over. Still don´t like it. This will never grow on me. A very weak effort, almost no melody and a senseless uninspired mish-mash of guitars. Worst song Keith ever offered to us. If he releases this crap as a single, what will the album be like? Oh my God. But not all hope is lost. The Stones released the horrible Streets Of Love as a single, but the album itself is not bad at all. I hope the same for Crosseyed Heart. After Trouble it can only get better.

Trouble is on US Amazon for MP3 download now.

....nice little hook...hope is alive....

It rocks
It stumbles
It rolls
It rumbles


I don't care if it's only mp3 and the drums sounds wrong and Mick Jagger isn't singing and what have you not.

Info for the audiophiles, I opened the Qobuz CD Version and can see there is clipping. We can expect loudness as it's the norm these days. Anyhow, played it on my stereo, laptop and in the car and they all sound great to my ears. The drums are low in the mix but that's no problem for me as I like the guitars up front. Also, love the up beat tempo/mood. Only 2 months to wait for the rest? Hope there will be one or two more let out of the bag before then.

Just because you find yourself off the streets again
That don’t mean that I can't help you or I ain't your friend
Baby trouble is your middle name
Your trouble is that that’s your game
Now you are out of circulation out of reach and out of touch
Let me keep you in the loop though I can’t tell you much
Baby trouble is your middle name
The trouble is that that’s your game
Just because I can’t see you see you anymore
That’s because honey you’re doing 2-4
Baby trouble is your middle name
The trouble is that that’s your game
Just because you find yourself back in jail again
That don't mean we can't connect, no, I'm still your friend
Baby trouble is your middle name
The trouble is that that’s your game
Cant you kick it
Even though you are still inside I could get you off the hook
But I know if I get you out I won’t get a second look
Baby trouble is your middle name
The trouble is that that’s your game
Too much trouble
Too much trouble

Apple Music is streaming the single. Spotify must be doing same.

The longer YouTube version is soooo much better it's ridiculous. Still, what on earth were they thinking with the drum sound? It sounds like Steve's bashing a cardboard box.

I like it! We're starved of anything new. And this is good enough. I like the edgy guitars.

Solo Live gigs..................when????

...get back to your knitting...

Too bad the long version on YT sounds like crap it's definitely the version to go for! I really hear YGIMade, especially in the chorus, not a bad thing. The "fast"guitar changes are somewhat fun too, didn't we get some recently in a Foxes outtake? It reminds me a bit of Macca's "Ever Present Past" for some reason, the poppiness perhaps!

So no OMS unlike what Jordan had told us, odd, maybe vetoed by Mick/Stones camp.

Looking forward to hearing Keith's version of 'Goodnight Irene@ great old song and I think perfect for Keith's voice...this is what i want from him, classic old songs. You can keep the 5 string suspended rock songs which simply aren't good enough these days.

Its growing on me,but nothing special.
Nice to hear some new tunes regardless.

Agreed that the YT sound is rubbish but the downloads are much better..at least the Amazon one that I have is.

Jordan said only that they recorded it. Given how carefully he treaded with this release around the Stones' touring schedule, I'm betting Keith simply didn't want to duplicate a Stones effort.

Love, love, loving it! yeah!

did I mention that I love it.><

Trouble is ...I want more.

I hope the second will be better. Filler lol . .

The album version @ 4:17 is much better than the radio edit, much more cohesive with lots more tastety guitar!! IMO better than anything he did on Bigger Bang. A nice start to Crosseyed Heart.

From a post at Steve Hoffman forum (http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/keith-richards-announces-new-winos-album.447585/page-5):

"Heard it all last night - there are country songs, electric blues, an acoustic blues, some things like Trouble (which is the least good of those IMO but the most Stones-like so makes sense as first single) and a bit of reggae.

It's very much Keith World - you have to go to it rather than it come to you, but once you're there it's pretty great..."

Keith's website is now listing the following versions for pre-order:

CD
Vinyl
Vinyl Bundle

I think you guys are probably in luck if the review from the Steve Hoffman forum is correct. He says Trouble is the worst of the lot.
