Rolling Stones' Keith Richards announces new solo EP

The Rolling Stones are currently wrapping up their 'Zip Code' tour but guitarist Keith Richards has found time to move forward with a new solo project. Richards has announced that he will be releasing a brand new solo EP, Crosseyed Heart on September 18th. The first single off of Heart will be dropping on July 17th.

This is the first EP effort from Richards since 1992's Main Offender, Rolling Stone reported.

Richards recruited his friends to take part in the project. Rolling Stones drummer Steve Jordan wrote a large portion of the album and was a producer along with guitarist Waddy Wachtel. Rolling Stones backup singer Bernard Fowler can also be heard on the EP.

In a statement released by Richards, he talked about working with Wachtel and Jordan and how this was a unique recording process. "I had a ball making this new record and working with Steve Jordan and Waddy Wachtel again. There's nothing like walking into a studio and having absolutely no idea what you’re going to come out with on the other end. If you're looking for 'Trouble,' you've come to the right place," said Richards.

The Rolling Stones will be concluding their 'Zip Code' tour next week in Quebec.
