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.

best audio book ever!

Simply the best narrated book I've ever listened too. Very interesting and engaging. And don't do heroin.

Very Entertaining

If this book can be believed, Keith Richards would casually do anything, to include risking his own life, for that next source of inspiration. This book describes how those risks took their toll and led to some wonderful music.

Pretty f--king interesting.

Any additional comments?

Interesting, fun, but wow so long. I guess it got a little boring 'cause I didn't finish it. But I got nearly there. Then it started feeling like more of the same I guess. Maybe it was just a dip, maybe the ending is great. Maybe I'll put in those last few hours. Maybe.

Any additional comments?

I was amazed that Keith could remember so much !!! Have to give a lot of credit to the ghost writer , he put it all together and made it coherent . As a final thought , I got the feeling that Keith would have been a small time gangster if he wasn't in the Stones
