A Likely Story: Tom Waits' Original Poem to Keith Richards

Keith Richards has played and sung on several of Tom Waits' albums, from 1985's Rain Dogs to 2011's Bad as Me. "He's a one-off lovely guy and one of the most original writers," Richards has said. For Rolling Stone's special issue, Keith Richards: The Ultimate Guide to His Music & Legend (on stands now), Keith's friend, collaborator and fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famer wrote this one-of-a-kind tribute to a one-of-a-kind guy. Richards' first solo album in 20 years, Crosseyed Heart, is out September 18th.

I love Tom, wish he'd do an album with all the Stones,or vice versa. I bet it would be tremendous and even sell respectably.

I got Keith's autograph about an hour earlier.
