Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards said on Thursday he is releasing his first solo album in more than 20 years.
Crosseyed Heart, which will feature rock, reggae and country songs, will be released on September 18, Richards said on his website.
Trouble, the first single, will be released on Friday, July 17.
Richards, 71, plays electric and acoustic guitars, bass and piano and sings vocals on the 15-track album. It includes collaborations with singer Norah Jones, keyboardist Ian Neville and guitarist Waddy Wachtel. Richards wrote most of the songs on the album with drummer and co-producer Steve Jordan.
“There’s nothing like walking into a studio and having absolutely no idea what you’re going to come out with on the other end,” Richards said.
Richards has two previous solo albums – Talk is Cheap in 1988 and Main Offender in 1992.
He is currently on tour with the Rolling Stones until Wednesday, July 15.
