1000 Day Album Challenge (#96) Keith Richards: Talk is Cheap (1988)
[05.04.24]

you made the wrong motion / drank the wrong potion
you lost the feeling / not so appealing…

when it comes to The Stones I’ve always been a Keith guy. isn’t everybody? I was aware of Mick’s earlier solo efforts, but didn’t really pay much attention to them. I was immediately interested when Keith put out a solo album.

I would never suggest Talk is Cheap should rank alongside any of the best albums by The Stones, but it solid enough to rank above their worst and for a band that has been making music as long as they have their batting average is super high.

if I were putting together a playlist of my favorite Stones’ songs I would include Take It So Hard and Keith’s poisoned love letter to Mick, You Don’t Move Me. I love You Don’t Move Me and have been known to give it multiple consecutive plays. I would slot it with Happy and Before They Make Me Run as the greatest Keith songs.

ultimately I would have to say that Talk is Cheap is a worthy supplement to any Stones’ fan’s obsession.
