Keith Richards is a British recording artist, most famous for his songwriting partnership with Mick Jagger, and their over-sixty-year tenure with their band the Rolling Stones. Richards has recorded and released three studio albums, one live album, one compilation album, and ten singles since 1978.

Contents

Richards has primarily worked as a session player and producer outside of the Rolling Stones, having performed on dozens of other artists' records since 1969. He began his solo recording career in 1978 with the single "Run Rudolph Run", before releasing his debut album ten years later.

On his solo albums, Richards' backing band is credited as the X-Pensive Winos, which most prominently features drummer Steve Jordan (who also serves as Richards' co-writer and co-producer), and also includes keyboardist Ivan Neville and guitarist Waddy Wachtel.
