The Cream of Keith’s Crop
Vintage Vinos (or Winos – Amazon and Keith’s official site say Vinos but that just seems odd) compiles tracks from Richards’ two solo albums for Virgin Records as well as a live album recorded with backing band The X-Pensive Winos (which included session luminaries Waddy Wachtel and Steve Jordan). It adds one rare track, an acoustic song called “Hurricane.” The set will be a nice opportunity to rediscover the acclaimed solo output of Richards, released at a time when The Rolling Stones were in a bit of a critical slump and Richards was semi-estranged from Mick Jagger.
Read the track list after the jump. (Thanks to Pause & Play for pointing this set out!)

IIRC, the “Hurricane” single was released as a Rolling Stones song, despite the lack of Mick and Charlie. A tough CD to find, however. It is a shame that this can’t include other Keith rarities, such as the “Run Rudolph Run”/”Pressure Drop” single, or any of the four live cuts on the “Eileen” CD single.
