I’ve had heroin habit for 35 years, at 65, i wished I was dead. At least I did. Im 67 now! Got clean, took 2 years of hell. Now I feel not too bad surprise surprise! God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change the courage to change the things I can & the wisdom to know the difference.
Keith can play like a GOD with those arthritic knuckles...to me he is the bridge between the old blues masters and the rock era...he represents both schools equally and has his own voice riding over the top. A true artist and one of the greatest. Thank you Keith.
We need to treasure every sound ....every piece of music these guy's still make because when they eventually go that's it....silence and only memories. Keep on rockin' Keith.....
Once I was lying on the bed of a friend of mine who was a fan of Keith. My friend started to play and sing this song with his guitar while I was listenning to him, lying on his bed, with the rain who was falling outside. It was nice to discover this song like that. Thanks Méric
@David Cudlip He’s not my friend. If you listen to the first few words as it begins. Thats the accent of a elderly black man from the Mississippi. Mississippi John Hurts accent in fact. Bit different to Kieths British one & your listening to Mississippi John Hurt from a Newport folk festival venue.

Bobby drank himself to death; but he seems to have led a pretty good life and done whatever he wanted. I mean, the guy was right there at the beginning of rock 'n' roll and toured with Buddy Holly when he, Bobby, was just a id. How cool is that? ua-cam.com/video/tIfQipkkOqs/v-deo.html
He is almost 80 y. o. He plays with his hands, his whole body and his heart. He can play rock with the right energy and acoustic blues with all his soul. Keef rules
@keith richards I wish the Stones would do a tour -- or a bunch of one-offs -- where they played nothing but slow songs, like Sweet Virginia, Dead Flowers, Wild Horses, Country Honk, Coming Down Again, Angie, and there are a ton of slow songs on your brilliant Beggars Banquet album that I would love to hear. You know, Mick doesn't have to jump around to songs like "Start Me Up" for it to be a great concert. And your true fans (and there are many) would prefer you and Ronnie and Mick sitting in chairs, with Mick playing harp and you and Ronnie strumming acoustic guitars. I think you underestimate your fans and what their tastes are.
LOVE YOU, KEITH! You were born with music inside of you! It is so wonderful that you KEEP ON putting your "circle of arms music" around us! Thank you for putting it outside from the inside! 🎸🎵 🎹 🎵 🎸🎸🎸❤

Thank you from the bottom of my soul for letting all of your fans experience this song. Youre a fuckin God man!!! Thank you Mr Richards!!! Love ya forever!!!!!
Holy shit! My favorite rendition of this song was by Dave Van Ronk (1962). Got to hear it live at the Unicorn coffee house in Boston. I also saw DVR at the 1963 Newport Folk Festival. And now, in 2022, Keith is the reigning King of Cocaine Blues. I wish he would do a US solo tour. I live in Las Vegas and would travel many miles to see him.
Keith Richards is my greatest hero in life, and I love this song. He wrote the greatest Rock 'n' Roll song of all time "Gimme Shelter." He has an iron clad constitution, and will outlive us all. He will outlive the cockroach (I mean that in a good way).

Keith I love your voice, this one sounded right out of the deep south. I know you love our American sounds after reading your book, Life. Just think all your teachers thought you couldn't make it in life. You blew all those authoritarians away with your success and music.
Keith Richard your version is absolutely fantastic, reminds me of the Rev. Gary Davis version. Just love it, your voice belongs and is at home in the blues. Many thanks.
Beautiful pictures! Joe Cocker once said: every morning I'm confronted with the fact that I'm not black and that I can't do anyting about it. Here's to you Keith!

@@GGT950 You are, of course, correct. I posted a similar comment some years ago on another upload of the same tune and it sparked off total mayhem, half the replies agreeing with me, but the other half showering me with abuse - even got 1 death threat! All this Keith Richards controversy started years ago, when this tune was included on a Stones bootleg that ascribed it to K.R. for a laugh. Yesterday, I commented on an upload of The Johnny Burnette Trio's "Train Kept A-Rolliin'", pointing out to the channel host that the praise he was giving to Paul Burlison should really go to the legendary session guitarist Grady Martin, who played all the good bits on their 10" album. Well that went down like a lead balloon, I can tell you! Anyway, have a good one.
Keith, and Mick, can both play/sing the old blues super super authentically. People don’t realize how good they are that stuff.
I’m a photographer. Whoever took those photographs did a masterful job of capturing his personality. Kudos.
Absolutely great work. No question
Yes absolutely great pictures of Keith!

Well said.
Questa è la cosa più bella e più vera !!
I hear so much of the great Robert Johnson in him.

Keith seems to have the most fun of any rock n roller I can think of. I'm 65 years old, seen the Stones just twice.
Keith is a legend,a survival,my favorite Stone forever,saw him live in Paris ,France in 1992,thanks man ,you're so good
Those bends. They get me every time. He just nails them perfectly. Not easy to do on acoustic.
Yup. Those bends has soul
In all of his playing where he's not on something, there is a purity to the sound produced by Mr. Richards. This is one gorgeous example.

Keith Richards has become as iconic a blues man as Mississippi John Hurt at this point. His music will never get too old.

You are, of course, correct. I posted a similar comment some years ago on another upload of the same tune and it sparked off total mayhem, half the replies agreeing with me, but the other half showering me with abuse - even got 1 death threat! All this Keith Richards controversy started years ago, when this tune was included on a Stones bootleg that ascribed it to K.R. for a laugh. Yesterday, I commented on an upload of The Johnny Burnette Trio's "Train Kept A-Rolliin'", pointing out to the channel host that the praise he was giving to Paul Burlison should really go to the legendary session guitarist Grady Martin, who played all the good bits on their 10" album. Well that went down like a lead balloon, I can tell you! Anyway, have a good one.
Wonderful!
Keef’s talent is immeasurable.
