Tell Me :
Talk
A kinda yeah. Sounds more like a nice gesture by him: 'I give the boys a recognition for the great tour'. Like I mentioned, the whole album was more like a hardcore fan/a collector item by constitution with not much commercial significance, so probably he - or his record company - had 'afford' to be more big-hearted there. But all of that 'band unity' was forgotten in the following year when there was a brandnew studio album out.

What could he have done? The name 'Rolling Stones' was already used by someone else
Sorry, but I don't quite follow you here. He did not release his solo album under the name of Keith Richards and The X-Pensive Winos, but under his own name, because he couldn't use the name Rolling Stones...?

Why weren't the studio albums released under the name (Keith Richards and the) X-Pensive Winos, by the way?
For the same commercial reason why the covers only feature close-up photos of Keith: this is nothing but a Keith Richards solo album, folks. The X-Pensive Winos is a footnote there and one that would only harm the commercial value of the product if too much stressed. Some no-commercial live album is attributed to them, but otherwise it only exists in talks (and we know what TALK is is like). They were Keith's solo band or a group of musicians he played with in his solo projects that he likes to call with a funny name. But let's be honest and forget romantics here: it was all about maestro Keith. His ego trip, if we like.

Still, it's a bit strange that he named the live album Keith Richards And The X-Pensive Winos, isn't it?

Keith always gave props to the Winos. Even said they kept him on his toes, and made him play better.
