Keith and Max

In 1980, reggae legend MAX ROMEO turned up on the STONES' "Emotional Rescue" LP, doing some back-up vocals on "Dance".

Then KEITH RICHARDS co-produced Max's 1981 Shanachie Records LP "Holding Out My Love To You", and played lead guitar on it (or at least on some of it). The other co-producers were GEOFFREY CHUNG (pictured here with Keith), and EARL "CHINNA" SMITH, who also plays rhythm guitar. Bass and drums are by SLY DUNBAR and ROBBIE SHAKESPEARE, respectively.












The LP does not seem to be available on CD, so here are a couple of (what I think are) the better tracks, both of which feature Keith's lead guitar.

BELL THE CAT

NICE 'N' EASY

If there's enough interest, I'll post the entire LP.
