Today in Rolling Stones history: September 18

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

September 18 has an oddly crowded place in Rolling Stones history. One day finds the band playing a pair of Newcastle shows in 1964; another catches them tearing through Cologne in 1970, while later decades bring a surprise club gig in Chicago and a sprawling Philadelphia set. Then there’s Keith Richards, quietly adding another chapter to his solo story with Crosseyed Heart in 2015. From tiny rooms to stadiums and a famously disguised Stones appearance, this date has plenty of reasons to look twice. Apparently, September 18 never got the memo about taking things easy.

Crosseyed Heart marks Keith’s first solo album in 23 years, arriving through Republic Records. Recorded with some of The X-Pensive Winos, the album features Steve Jordan, Waddy Wachtel, and guests such as Norah Jones, Aaron Neville and Bobby Keys. Jordan encourages the project after Richards publishes his 2010 memoir Life, with no apparent connection to tensions within the Stones. Across 15 tracks, Keith mixes delta blues, rock, country, reggae, and acoustic folk while exploring romance, heartbreak, petty crime, and the outlaw life.
