The long-awaited autobiography of the guitarist,

songwriter, singer, and founding member of the Rolling Stones.

Ladies and gentlemen: Keith Richards.

With The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the

songs that roused the world, and he lived the original rock and

roll life.

Now, at last, the man himself tells his story of life in the

crossfire hurricane. Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy

Waters records, learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger

and Brian Jones. The Rolling Stones's first fame and the notorious

drug busts that led to his enduring image as an outlaw folk hero.

Creating immortal riffs like the ones in "Jumping Jack Flash" and

"Honky Tonk Women." His relationship with Anita Pallenberg and the

death of Brian Jones. Tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the

U.S., isolation and addiction. Falling in love with Patti Hansen.

Estrangement from Jagger and subsequent reconciliation. Marriage,

family, solo albums and Xpensive Winos, and the road that goes on

forever.

With his trademark disarming honesty, Keith Richard brings us the

story of a life we have all longed to know more of, unfettered,

fearless, and true.

"By turns earnest and wicked, sweet and sarcastic and unsparing,

Mr. Richards, now 66, writes with uncommon candor and

immediacy....He gives us an indelible, time-capsule feel for the

madness that was life on the road with the Stones in the years

before and after Altamont; harrowing accounts of his many close

shaves and narrow escapes (from the police, prison time, drug

hell); and a heap of sharp-edged snapshots of friends and

colleagues...But Life...is way more than a revealing showbiz

memoir. It is also a high-def, high-velocity portrait of the era

when rock 'n' roll came of age, a raw report from deep inside the

counterculture maelstrom of how that music swept like a tsunami

over Britain and the United States. It's an eye-opening all-nighter

in the studio with a master craftsman disclosing the alchemical

secrets of his art. And it's the intimate and moving story of one

man's long strange trip over the decades, told in dead-on, visceral

prose without any of the pretense, caution or self-consciousness

that usually attend great artists sitting for their

self-portraits....Mr. Richards has found a way to channel to the

reader his own avidity, his own deep soul hunger for music and to

make us feel the connections that bind one generation of musicians

to another. Along the way he even manages to communicate something

of that magic, electromagnetic experience of playing on stage with

his mates, be it in a little club or a huge stadium." (Michiko

Kakutani, The New York Times )

"One of the greatest rock memoirs ever....The title of Richards'

book is a simple, accurate de*ion on the contents: the

66-year-old guitarist's highs, lows and death-defying excesses,

from birth to now, vividly related in his natural pirate-hipster

cadence and syntax." (David Fricke, Rolling Stone

)

"[Keith Richards has] been through quite a lot of phases. And

they're all on the page in Life....All of this is recounted

with straight-up candor... But is there anything new that can be

said about the Stones anyway? As Life emphatically

demonstrates, the answer is yes." (Janet Maslin, The New York

Times )

"You can't imagine that this book could be any better than it

is...Keith holds nothing back. It's funny, gossipy, profane and

moving and by the time you finish it you feel like you're friends

with Keith Richards." (Will Dana, Rolling Stone

)

"Entertaining...a slurry romp through the life of a man who knew

every pleasure, denied himself nothing, and never paid the price."

(David Remnick, The New Yorker )

"Why does Keith want to undercut his legend? Because he has much

better stories to tell. And in Life, the 547-page memoir he

wrote with James Fox, he serves them up like his guitar riffs--in

your face, nasty, confrontational, rich, smart, and, in the end,

unforgettable....His story slows as it approaches the present, and

you start to wonder if this Peter Pan life can get to its end

without real pain....But mostly, you wish you could go back to the

beginning of Life and start again." (Jesse Kornbluth,

The Huffington Post )

"What kind of celebrity autobiography is his Life? A

remarkable one. One that reveals Mr. Richards in far greater depth

and detail than any fan of the Rolling Stones or rock music could

have hoped for...Mr. Richards writes with disarming introspection

about his childhood, family and fame. And it's quite likely that no

rock musician has ever written so keenly about the joys of making

music. With a warm sense of humor and willingness to share his

grief, Mr. Richards in Life defies almost every public

perception about him." (Jim Fusilli, The Wall Street

Journal )

"Life, a firsthand journey from wartime London through the

wilder parts of the 1960s and 1970s and beyond, could as easily be

filed among the works of Richards' friend William Burroughs as

alongside the memoirs of Bob Dylan or Eric Clapton.... It's the

rare rock memoir with recipes (for bangers, English sausages),

guidelines on street brawling (flash the knife as a decoy, then

kick your enemy where it hurts) and staying awake for days....

Life is like the ultimate Keith Richards album." (Hillel

Italie, Associated Press )

"A vivid self-portrait and, of the Stones and their musical era, a

grand group portrait. Surely thanks in part to his co-writer James

Fox, Richards shows a strong, sure authorial voice, acute in

detail, passionate about his achievements in music and nearly

always amused by his excesses, not least in having survived

them....spellbinding storytelling." (Richard Corliss, TIME

Magazine )

"The twinkle from Keith Richards's eye throughout his autobiography

Life is as distinctive as his famous guitar riffs in

'Jumpin' Jack Flash.'" (David Hinckley, New York Daily

News )

"Rollicking and raw." (Andrew Abrahams, People

)

"Richards' authorial voice is evident on almost every page and,

like his singing one, it is both an entertaining and an

ever-wandering instrument....he not only has the best tunes, he

also knows how to tell the best tales." (Clark Collis,

Entertainment Weekly )

"[Keith Richards has] created an insightful narrative--a story of

fame, struggling with demons, and rock and roll....an opus on a

lifetime of brutal honesty, an all-encompassing account of what

it's been like to be one of the coolest rock stars in the world."

(Kevin Fallon, The Atlantic )

"The most scabrously honest and essential rock memoir in a

long time....the voice that emerges is unmistakably the dark

lord's: growly and profane and black with comedy." (Lou Bayard,

The Washington Post )

"[A] fast-paced, pull-no-punches autobiography... Richards is at

his best when digging into the reasons he plays music, and how he

creates it." (The Chicago Tribune )

"Life covers all the bases: sex, drugs, guitar riffs... the

book, which already seems to have earned a place in the admittedly

small canon of genuinely great rock lit, is dishy but not lurid,

technical but not wonky. Richards' voice, filtered through Fox's

brain, is so relentlessly endearing, no less a critic than Maureen

Dowd has declared the prince of darkness a 'consummate gentleman.'"

(Rebecca Dana, The Daily Beast )

"Compelling, endearing, insightful, action-packed, graceful,

generous-spirited, unflinching, and funny... Life

distinguishes itself as a singularly entertaining and intelligent

kind of music book. With the help, undoubtedly, of Fox in

unearthing decades-old memory-jarring diaries and letters, it works

as a lively you-are-there account of one man living through a

socially and culturally transformative time....I could go on and on

with the anecdotes and incidents from Life, but space

doesn't allow. Suffice it to say that if you're reading it in a

room with somebody else who cares about rock-and-roll, you'll want

to read something out loud every page and a half or so. I can't

remember ever enjoying a music memoir as much." (Dan DeLuca,

The Philadelphia Inquirer )

"[Richards] is funny, sharp, and insightful....the book is

an important addition to the canon of rock lit, chronicling not

just the life of an iconic musician and a seminal band but a

significant slice of the golden age of rock." (Carlo Wolf,

Boston Globe )

"As the legendary guitarist for the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards

has done more, been more and seen more than you or I will ever

dream of, and reading his autobiography, Life, should awaken

(if you have a pulse and an I.Q. north of 100) a little bit of the

rock star in you.... Music is at the core of Life, as it is

at the core of Keith.... Believe me, you won't want to miss a

thing. The most impressive part of Life is the wealth of

knowledge Keith shares, whether he's telling you how to layer an

acoustic guitar until it sounds electric, as he did on the classic

Stones track "Street Fighting Man," or how to win a knife fight. He

delivers recipe after recipe for everything rock 'n' roll, and let

me say it's quite an education....Reading Life is like

getting to corner Keith Richards in a room and ask him every?thing

you ever wanted to know about the Rolling Stones, and have him be

completely honest with you." (Liz Phair, The New York Times

Book Review )

"Fiercely entertaining and candid." (San Francisco

Chronicle )
