It might not be quite as good as Talk is Cheap, but there's a conversation to be had. Robbed Blind... Nothing on Me.... Something For Nothing... Suspicion... Heartstopper, yeah, but that one's melodic chorus may have produced a Stones hit if Jagger had sung it straight. Keith is a bit in Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits territory, mature work, but with more roll, Gram-like country and R&B leanings. It's a bit of a surprise for him to have made such a musical album. And it's stripped back, a taste of background vocals, one duet, a smattering of guitar from Waddy, but mostly Keith, on guitars and bass some some keys when it isn't Ivan. Keith and Steve Jordan have made a very intelligent record. It's legit.
Best Rolling Stones album since..... Talk is Cheap. The lyrics aren't global, nor are the production values, but it's worth repeated listening. Good for him.
Teddy, any whiff of gig news?

I just gave it a listen. At first I wouldnt call it Keith's best, but it surely doesnt pale compared to the previous two. A beautiful trilogy.
I just try to imagine how floored I would have been if this had been released prior august, 2012. That year, I was first relieved to see Keith standing on his two feet, all smiles and joking outside Suresnes. Then later, again relieved to hear him play guitar in Bondy.
Also, I'm trying to fit One More Shot in there and I'm not sure where it should go. It sounds a little below those 15 tracks.

Glad you're digging it.
I'd like to add that Keith's piano is a highlight of the album. Floyd Cramer indeed. That's what separates something like Robbed Blind from some of the similar records Keith's made with the Stones during the sunset years.
