Didn't TIC shift a mill?
Telling everyone about CH, it totally deserves a bigger audience
A very different era back in 1988:
- It was his first solo album
- He was 44 years old back then
- Album sales were 7-10 times better than now
- TIC had 3 singles with heavy airplay on rock radio, the last one charting on February-March 1989, 5-6 months of full promo with a tour, 2 videos and 3 singles.
- CH had no tour, only one single and the promo was over after the first week, only magazzine interviews that no one cares.
Agreed

It's real music, not that crap Jagger puts out on his solo albums or with someone else, SuperTurd or whatever it was.
Keith's new LP, like his other LPs, is a trip through the history of music based on vibe, rhythm, cadence and melody, only more so with a leathered voice this time around. Robbed Blind is outfuckingstanding and is the best thing he's done in eons.

I love crosseyed heart so much that when I play it in my car every day and reach my destination I just drve on an extra mile or sit in the car with it on for ten more minutes because its that good
That's when you KNOW it's good! I haven't had that experience w/ CH yet - I'm not sure that I've listened to it in the car yet - but other albums have kept me in my car long enough to raise questions.
I think John Hammond's "Wicked Grin" was the last one to get me. While waiting for my wife to arrive at a restaurant, it just sucked me in. Next thing I know, My phone rings and it's my wife wondering where I'm at as she'd been inside waiting for me for the past 10 minutes. Oops!
Peace,
Mr DJA
Heartattack and vine Phew this is really something, thanks for the point in the right direction, never heard this before . Cheers
keefriffhards -> You're welcome! Always glad when I can turn someone on to something they end up enjoying. Feels like going full circle as I have been turned on to stuff myself over the years. And yes, "Heartattack and Vine" is really something. One of my favorites on an album that I have a hard time picking a favorite on!
Peace,
Mr DJA
Would have to recommend the original (Tom Waits) version and the Screamin' Jay Hawkins version of Heartattack & Vine though over the one on Wicked Grin - much as I'm a fan of John Hammond's.

Keith is interviewed in the October 2015 UNCUT magazine. Interesting that Crosseyed Heart has stuff from the A Bigger Bang sessions that didn't make it onto that album.
He said earlier that Nothing On Me and Illusion were from those sessions.
Teddy has explained that Trouble goes even further back (then titled Just Because).

And yet song writing credits on Illusion are Richards Jordan Jones

Possibly if it had been included on Bigger Bang it would have been credited to Jagger/Richards or maybe Jagger/Richards/Jordan/Jones or maybe just Jagger/Richards/Jordan. Hard to know who contributed what & when. I'm just assuming Keith was involved from the beginning.

Norah wrote the parts she is singing, according to Keith.

I don't get the anti-Jagger at all. Crosseyed Heart is a good album - no doubt. Not classic and not fantastic but a good solid album. Jagger's done some great solo stuff and some shitty solo stuff, as has Keith. But these overall generalizations are immature and stupid. And you know what...Jagger's mediocre so called "Dogshit in the Doorway" album is not a great album either, but it's got some really good stuff on it. In fact if you listen with a non-biased ear "God Gave Me Everything", "Don't Call Me Up" and "Too Far Gone" are far superior than anything on Crosseyed Heart.

I picked Goddess In The Doorway, because it seems to be Jagger's worst rated album here on IORR and my point is even on Jagger's worst album, there are some better songs than the best of Crosseyed Heart.

There's a ton of anti-Jagger within these 199 pages. And I feel it's unnecessary. I picked Goddess In The Doorway, because it seems to be Jagger's worst rated album here on IORR and my point is even on Jagger's worst album, there are some better songs than the best of Crosseyed Heart.

Keith recorded the follow up Exile when no one was looking. Brilliant.
