The first solo outing from Mr. Rock & Roll himself, TALK IS CHEAP is a solid, rootsy effort with something for everyone. The opening cut, "Big Enough," mines a deep funk groove (abetted by veteran funksters Bootsy Collins and Bernie Worrell of Parliament/Funkadelic fame) and makes it clear that the set will not be pure Stones revival. While "Take It So Hard" kicks off with the clarion call of Keith Richards's signature guitar sound and echoes the vibe of Stones songs "Happy" and "Tumbling Dice," it lays claim to its own distinctive mood.
"I Could Have Stood You Up" hearkens back to the swinging rock & roll of the 1950s, complete with doo-wop backing vocals and honky-tonk piano, before segueing into mid-tempo, emotive tracks "Make No Mistake" and "You Don't Move Me," recalling late-'70s Dylan. Approaching the album's end, the melancholic "Locked Away" provides an antidote to the head-bobbing rhythm of "Rockawhile" and the angular closing punch of "It Means a Lot." Richards's understated vocal delivery and blues-drenched guitar lines (which manage to sound simultaneously clean, spare, and gloriously sleazy) earmark this fine collection of tunes.
1988 debut solo album from the legendary Rolling Stones guitarist that was co-produced with drummer Steve Jordan. This also marked the first appearance of his backing band, The X-Pensive Winos, who provide loose but disciplined backing for the Rock hero. Veteran Funk masters William "Bootsy" Collins and keyboardist Bernie Worrell contributed their talents as well.

Keith Richards Talk Is Cheap Songs Talk Is Cheap Music Review Average Rating: (3.8 out of 5 stars)   REMARKABLE COLLECTION
Mr.Richards distinguishes himself vocally here as frontman, and of course, his signature guitar style is ever present. Being a longtime guitarist myself, and Stones fan, my only regret is I hadn't grabbed this up some time ago.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Main Offender Is Better
I think Main Offender is a lot better. It's more like Keith and less like the Stones than Talk Is Cheap and it has better songwriting.

Near Classic
Keith has 3 near classic rock tracks here, namely "Take It So Hard", which is a reach out and grab ya guitar god riff. Also "How I Wish", which is just plain fun, and "Whip It Up" which if produced better could again stand on it's own. I love Keith, but he lacks the overall polish that makes good songs great. Make no mistake - some of them could be if polished arrangement-wise and perhaps lyric-wise.
