The notorious Redlands drug bust and subsequent series of confrontations with a nervous establishment that led to his enduring image as outlaw and folk hero. The Rolling Stones' first fame and success as a bad-boy band. Learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones. Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records as a child in post-war Kent. Now, at last, the man himself tells us the story of life in the crossfire hurricane. With the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the riffs, the lyrics, and the songs that roused the world, and over four decades he lived the original rock-and-roll life: taking the chances he wanted, speaking his mind, and making it all work in a way that no one before him had ever done. Life gives listeners unprecedented access to the man behind one of the greatest bands in rock 'n' roll history, and with it some surprising insights into the kind of person he really is beyond the glare of the stage lights.
