Today in Rolling Stones history: July 17

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

Some dates in Rolling Stones history refuse to stick to just one headline, and July 17 is one of them. In a single day across different years, the band went from sweaty club gigs and double-show marathons to massive stadium concerts spanning North America and Europe. Throw in the release of Keith Richards’ Trouble, and suddenly the timeline covers everything from the Stones’ relentless touring years to Keith proving that a great riff doesn’t need much decoration. It’s the kind of date that reminds you the band never really stood still—they just kept finding bigger stages, louder crowds, and new ways to surprise everyone.

July 17, 2015: Release of Keith Richards’ solo single Trouble (at the time download-only)
Trouble, from Keith Richards’ later album Crosseyed Heart, is a relaxed, old-school rocker that highlights his unmistakable guitar style and weathered vocals. More easygoing than much of his work with The Rolling Stones, the upbeat, stripped-back track favors groove and simplicity over aggression, delivering a confident, unpretentious performance.
