From Music Week:
"A charter member of The Rolling Stones, who delivered their 22nd and most recent studio album A Bigger Bang a little over 10 years ago, Keith Richard has always been a little more reticent in releasing solo albums, and prior efforts Talk is Cheap (1988) and Main Offender (1992) haven't really set the chart alight, with respective peaks of number 37 and number 45. However, with Radio Two airing first single Trouble upwards of 50 times already (it peaked at #64 on the Airplay Top 100 chart), the 71 year old's third album Crosseyed Heart debuts at number seven (11,302 sales). Including Rolling Stones releases, it is his 51st chart album. Its debut comes 15 weeks after the releases of deluxe and super deluxe editions saw The Rolling Stones' classic 1971 album Sticky Fingers return to the Top 10 at #7 too."
