Life

By: Keith Richards, James Fox

Narrated by: Johnny Depp, Joe Hurley, Keith Richards

The long-awaited autobiography of Keith Richards, guitarist, songwriter, singer, and founding member of the Rolling Stones.

With The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the songs that roused the world, and he lived the original rock and roll life.

Now, at last, the man himself tells his story of life in the crossfire hurricane. Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records, learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones. The Rolling Stones's first fame and the notorious drug busts that led to his enduring image as an outlaw folk hero. Creating immortal riffs like the ones in "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women." His relationship with Anita Pallenberg and the death of Brian Jones. Tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the U.S., isolation and addiction. Falling in love with Patti Hansen. Estrangement from Jagger and subsequent reconciliation. Marriage, family, solo albums and Xpensive Winos, and the road that goes on forever.

With his trademark disarming honesty, Keith Richard brings us the story of a life we have all longed to know more of, unfettered, fearless, and true.

Excellent!

Loved it!! Great storytelling from Keith Richards and awesome narration by Johnny Depp and the man himself. Touched.

Authorized editions on rock are @ a premium. fz

Keith deals w/ his life & music. No dirt or mud here. Truly a gentleman.

I want to share this with everyone in the world

the history of music..... . the world would
not be the same without Keith Richards I remember as a kid probably 10 listening to Tumbling Dice never having known all the things this man had already been through you owe it yourself as a musician to read this..... you owe this to yourself as a person to read this.

Well it was..

Guy is a horrible drug looser most the book. Stories like nodding off while driving with a 6 year old. The first half was boring as shit. The French stuff was mildly interesting, that's the Exile period. Last 4 hours not worth a damn. But the boys love this book.

Better read before they make us run...

Quite simply the best memoir I've ever read and written like a friend was talking to you.
It cannot be over emphasized how well Johnny Depp and Joe Hurley narrate Keith's gift.
And just for kicks maybe but well worth listening Keith himself narrates the last bit. I also really appreciated ;-) and it over small bits here and there of biographical recall to someone better suited than himself to report from the front lines. This included many other musicians friends and even his cranial doctor. What a wild ride thanks to Keith Richards and his co-biographer, James Fox, for delivering the goods.my guess is that it probably took four to five years off of Mr. Fox's life do the damn thing. I think it took one off mine just to hear it!
