It seems as if Keith Richards is never not making music. When he isn’t recording or touring with the Rolling Stones, he’s in the studio or playing live with his friends and backing band, the X-Pensive Winos. This group of musicians was formed by Richards in 1988 after deciding to pursue a second career as a solo artist, and includes: guitarist Waddy Wachtel, saxophonist Bobby Keys, keyboardist Ivan Neville, bassist Charley Drayton, and vocalist Sarah Dash, among others. 1988’s Talk is Cheap was credited to Richards as a solo artist, but featured the Winos, who have lent their talents to all of his solo endeavors.
A second solo album and tour came between The Rolling Stones’ Steel Wheels and VooDoo Lounge projects in 1992 with the release of Main Offender. Thirty years on, this new box set—honoring that sophomore solo effort—contains the studio recording as well as a bonus live album, both remastered by original producer a co-songwriter, Steve Jordan. The reissue contains previously unreleased recordings from Richards’ “Winos Live in London ‘92” show which was held at London’s famed Town & Country Club.
Speaking of this project, Richards said: “This is the second time around & the Winos are kind of developing – and if I can keep those guys together for as long as I can, it’s one of the best bands in the world. It’s a very intriguing band and the potential is only just starting to show itself.” There’s no denying that Keith Richards is in it for the long haul, and we will be there to enjoy every bit of it.
AMI is proud to offer this giveaway to fans of Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones, and live music in general. For a limited time, AMI jukeboxes will also be featuring a Keith Richards playlist that highlights his biggest hits with and without the Stones. All are encouraged to check out the playlist and enter the contest using the AMI Music app or by visiting a nearby AMI jukebox venue.
