Biography

Keith Richards, the quintessential rhythm guitarist of The Rolling Stones, seamlessly blended Delta blues and R&B influences to redefine rock music. His innovative use of open tunings and rhythmic playing style pushed black American musical traditions into the mainstream, shaping the band's sound. Richards' iconic riffs, such as those in "Street Fighting Man" and "Start Me Up," added depth and dimension to the music, connecting the rhythm section with Mick Jagger's vocals. Known for his bluesy persona and survivor mentality, Richards' contributions to the band's success are evident in their classic albums like Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street. Beyond his work with The Rolling Stones, Richards' solo tracks like “Hate It When You Leave” and “Locked Away” showcase his reflective voice and enduring spirit. His admiration for American country music and championing of artists like Gram Parsons further illustrate his wide-ranging musical influences. Richards' approach to life, as he once described it, reflects a wild animal that must be faced head-on, embodying a mix of confidence and vulnerability that resonates through his music and persona.
