Keith Richards' solo career bursts with even more of the effortlessly cool swagger he displays in The Rolling Stones. He dropped his first solo joint in the ‘80s, having already racked up a string of boogie gems spotlighting his smoky rasp and strutting riffs. “Take It So Hard” is a classic thanks to its roadhouse keys and woozy thump, and “Trouble” ratchets up the tempo and the attitude while Richards lays down some stinging licks. His longtime love of honky-tonk also pops up throughout his solo work, as heard in his gloriously down-and-out rendition of Hank Williams' “You Win Again”, which oozes R&B horns all sad-eyed and blue.
