Keith Richards to release easy listening album Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones guitarist and wild man of rock 'n' roll, is set to release an easy-listening album. By Ben Leach The album is rumoured to include a jazz version of the Judy Garland classic Somewhere Over The Rainbow from The Wizard Of Oz and Perry Como's I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now. The revelation emerged after more than 20 never-released covers by the Rolling Stones guitarist were leaked onto the internet. Other songs on the list include an homage to country star Tammy Wynette in the song Apartment No 9 and Andy Williams's Let It Be Me. Richards, 64, has also recorded Big Band composer Hoagy Carmichael's The Nearness Of You, Fats Domino's Blue Monday and Jerry Lee Lewis's She Still Comes Around. The songs came to light on www.captainsdead. com, a website run by Stones fan Greg Van Dyke in New Orleans. In an online chat with fans Richards was asked whether he would consider releasing the tracks. He replied: "I've never planned it before but maybe now I should; I'll think about it." Such sentimental tracks are a far cry from Richards's usual image. He famously declared "rehab is for quitters" and was once given six months to live. In 2007 he claimed to have snorted the ashes of his father like a line of cocaine, and in 2006 he needed brain surgery after he fell out of a palm tree in Fiji. Some of the recordings are unfinished and would need reworking. But Richards will have time to polish them as the Stones will not be recording a new studio album until next autumn, with a world tour pencilled in for 2010. :blink: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/3506233/Keith-Richards-to-release-easy-listening-album.html Edited by briandade, Nov 24 2008, 10:07 PM.

Below is a poem written by a mate of mine, Murray Lachlan-Young. It made me laugh anyway! Ode to Keith Richards falling out of a coconut tree What the hell did you think you were doing? So blind that you just could not see Not a thought for your legion of worshipping fans When you shinned up the trunk of that coconut tree If you’re gonna go Keith go Keith go If your gonna go Keith go Keith go If your gonna go Keith go Keith go Don’t do it like that Keith no Keith no Go in the middle of a hard blues riff Go at the end of a laced up spliff Speedball death plunge, Lear jet smash Coked up gunfight, high-speed car crash Kohl black eyes white rock n roll skin With your hand on the fret board cigarette grin Do it like a king pin Debauchee But not falling out of a coconut tree Keith, man, what goaded you on Was it Ronnie Wood? Who said you should? Or was it Elton John that you tried to prove wrong? When he called you King Kong, did you snag your sarong? C’mon Keith, baby, tell us please what the hell was going on If you’re gonna go Keith, go Keith go If you’re gonna go Keith go Keith go If you’re gonna go Keith go Keith go Don’t do it like that Keith no Keith no |
