Keith Richards on Keith Richards

This is a wonderful book, which collects a career-spanning group of previously published interviews with Keith. At best you will have read a very small number of the articles previously, as many were published in magazines with small circulations, and of course the interviews go back as far as 50 years ago. The interviews are almost all substantive and interesting, Even if you've read "Life", Keith's autobiography, this book will still be interesting to you, as more than a few of things he says in his memoir are at odds with things he said years before in these interviews. It is also interesting to see that there are things Keith has been unusually consistent about over the years, for example mentioning repeatedly the importance he attaches to practicing regularly on an acoustic, rather than electric guitar, because in his view playing an electric guitar permits a player to use flashiness to cover up certain inadequacies I should add that the Musicians on Musicians series - of which this book is a part - is in general terrific.

I read this book cover to cover the day I got it and then started over again. LOTS of fascinating information and thoughts from Keef, who has a lot of interesting things to say!.

If your a fan of the Stones or interested in the life of this legendary figure it won't be disappointing. Anyone who has been selling out stadiums for over 40 years and created some of the most well known riffs in rock is worth a look into what make him tick

It's Keith RIchards, that should tell you all you need to know.

A great collection of interviews and pieces on Keith and the band from throughout his career. Great insights into songwriting, his relationships int eh band, and, of course, guitar
